Mbappe is indisputably the best player in the world currently, just unstoppable.
Tevez was a sub at the time. He was brought in for a cup game against Blackburn which we won 5-3 then was left out for the more important league game that followed against Sunderland so Berbatov and Rooney could come back in.Tevez was a starter under Fergie mate.
It's a different thing resting a starter after a good performance, and dropping a sub that is your best performing player at the moment, in a knock out game.
Stop with the moronic defense of Southgate, the man has issues.
My captain shall always play ( and my Maggy)He'd be resting Kane and Maguire, not Mount and Sterling!
I guess well see when the team are released.
Save the pace for Penalties*Gareth's cunning plan is to bring on pace in extra time.
Same. Mbappe naturally getting all the plaudits, but Griezmann has been so, so good.super impressed with Griezmann in this tournament, didnt think he still had this level in him
One minute your delighted an Arsenal player is starting over a Utd Player who had been Englands best player, the next your playing the Utd Card to defend Southgate.Again. I remember Sir Alex Ferguson dropping Carlos Tevez after he scored four, from a quick google he also got an assist for our other goal of the game.
Must have been a shit manager
I’m not delighted, I’m just not fussed about which of the two plays. They’re both very good at football.One minute your delighted an Arsenal player is starting over a Utd Player who had been Englands best player, the next your playing the Utd Card to defend Southgate.
Are you at the wind up here?
Yeah, I've never really 'gotten' Griezmann before this tournament but he's been incredible.Griezmann's Pogba-impersonation at this world cup has been astonishing honestly. Mbappé will get the headlines but honestly, i think he's been the player of the tournament so far
Agreed, he's been sensationalGriezmann's Pogba-impersonation at this world cup has been astonishing honestly. Mbappé will get the headlines but honestly, i think he's been the player of the tournament so far
Should have just blown right therrIt's the clearest handball pen you'll ever see
He's been excellent. Seems to love playing for his country, bit like Pogba. Deschamps deserves credit for this as the players seem to genuinely love him.super impressed with Griezmann in this tournament, didnt think he still had this level in him
A penalty needs to be executedShould have just blown right therr
For as much as people clown on Southgate, he knows the pulse of the team and everyone is pulling in the same direction. That cannot be questioned, which is how everybody accepts their role and supports each other.Saka is class I agree. But I don’t think that’s reason Southgate picks him more than he has played a fair bit at leftback which is very reassuring for Gareth.
what kind of message does it send out to group that player who scored the two goals that won you last game doesn’t get the nod for the next game, the answer is a shite message.
He is the player of the tournament for me but I could be biased. You can see how France becomes terrible when Griezmann is at the periphery of the game both defensively and offensively. Interestingly I have been thinking about Valverde's comments when he said that Griezmann need to understand that he doesn't have to defend as much, maybe the solution was to actually encourage him to defend and drop?Griezmann's Pogba-impersonation at this world cup has been astonishing honestly.

For an extra defensive midfielder.He's already dropped Mount in the last game.
He's picked Saka because its the most defensive option he can have on the wing. That I am sure.Saka is class I agree. But I don’t think that’s reason Southgate picks him more than he has played a fair bit at leftback which is very reassuring for Gareth.

Exactly. If he’s like this vs USA and Senegal imagine the amount of bed shitting there will be about France,He's picked Saka because its the most defensive option he can have on the wing. That I am sure.
I know. I watched the game unlike the people who think Mount played.For an extra defensive midfielder.
Im preparing for the 5 at the back to return.Exactly. If he’s like this vs USA and Senegal imagine the amount of bed shitting there will be about France,

Maybe Southgate finally dropped him AND told him he wasn't his father. Talk about a double blow.Sky said earlier that Sterling will not be involved tonight as dealing with a family issue.
Amazing at the Euro 2016, top 3 at the WC18, and now he’s having another great World Cup in 22. Would it be fair to call him France’s best performer over the past 10 years? Didn’t show up in 2020, but the whole squad was shit then, bar Benz and maybe Pogba.Griezmann's Pogba-impersonation at this world cup has been astonishing honestly.

He did well when he came on against US and played well against Wales.What business does Jordan Henderson have starting a WC knockout game for England?
Yeah it will be a horrible game if we make it, maybe we could cling on to extra time.Im preparing for the 5 at the back to return.
