Day 15: France vs Poland | England vs Senegal (Last 16 3&4)

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Senegal looks like 11 midfielders, and 4 of them just playing deeper than the rest. Zero specialists, including the keeper.

 

[bosnian_red]

He's a fantastic player who never really got a chance. People are letting their club's affiliations cloud their judgment.

People think he's a different player than what he is. On the left is his best position playing as a classic wide player, or a wide forward down the left. He's never been very good as an inverted wide player, he's never really played as a 10... It's LW or false 9 in a Pep system. So LW for Southgate, along with everyone other than Saka

 

[MoXoM]

Kane is class!

 

[groovyalbert]

England v Mbappe should be an interesting match

 

[awop]

Good. We want you very hyped. The takedown and the tears will taste even better

 

[edcunited1878]

Who wrote off Foden and Kane?

Lots of people who saw that Rashford wasn't starting.

 

[TheGame]

Get Maddison on.

 

[Judas]

You said you had dominated and were in complete control which you hadn't

three lions on a shirt.

 

[DevilRed]

Got to say that Kane has played really well today.

Every goal has him invovled with either the key pass or the shot.

 

[WeePat]

Kane is putting in a ridiculous performance. Unreal game from him today.

 

[SamVimes]

France will beat England. If somehow they don't then Spain will beat England.

Probably. But for me France are the best team, with Mbappe on form. You beat them then anything is possible. Plus I don't think Spain are all that.

 

[mitchmouse]

This has been one of the more lifeless 3 nils I’ve seen in a while. Chelsea’s future looks bleak as hell with Koulibally and Mendy. (and Sterling)

all that hype about koulibaly... martinez is worlds above him

 

[Trophy Room]

Just praised Southgate for playing Foden but apparently sterling is out for personal reasons. Don't know how much credit he should get then

I know this may sound crazy but at 27 Sterling is past his prime. Foden, Rashford and Saka are clearly ahead of him.

 

[fergies coat]

Good. We want you very hyped. The takedown and the tears will taste even better

Quaking in your boots obviously.

 

[CloneMC16]

Good. We want you very hyped. The takedown and the tears will taste even better

England will never be favourites over France.

 

[TheGame]

Good. We want you very hyped. The takedown and the tears will taste even better

We are all saying France are the favourites so even if we lose we’ll be fine.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Go on Rashford. Score a few goals.

 

[Trophy Room]

Probably. But for me France are the best team, with Mbappe on form. You beat them then anything is possible. Plus I don't think Spain are all that.

Spain are the type of team England will lose to.

 

[K2K]

Are England...good?

Yes.

One of the best teams in the world

 

[Judas]

The world cup really starts on Saturday for us, I'm intrigued how we'll do as comfortably the underdogs.

Gareth's first real test, you might say.

 

[RedRonaldo]

England will win it

 

[Judas]

Spain are the type of team England will lose to.

Bore us into submission

 

[RepardReece]

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching England fail in tournament since 1986 which is about as far back as my memory goes

Southgate has me the most worried that they might finally win something. And yet all the English thinks he is rubbish

He is comfortably your best manager

He's a meh manager. I can give him credit to the fact he beats all the teams we should beat but so far he's failed to beat the first good team we've faced in the major competitions.

Hopefully that changes next Saturday against France.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Hard to feel bad for Henderson for some reason. He just has one of those faces.

 

[DevilRed]

Go on Rashy

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Probably. But for me France are the best team, with Mbappe on form. You beat them then anything is possible. Plus I don't think Spain are all that.

If it's any comfort, England were terrible for 30 minutes tonight. Spain would annihilate that team

 

[arnie_ni]

How was Harry maguire not gave away a fk. feck sake. He was 1 to 1 on betfair

To easy!

 

[mitchmouse]

so far this has been one of the dullest games in the tournament

 

[One Night Only]

What's with our shit free kick routines?

 

[Antisocial]

What a touch from Shaw

 

[Chairman Steve]

Kouilbaly is fecking tragic. His volley against Spurs feels like eons ago now.

 

[marktan]

One of the few criticisms I'd have of Southgate is he doesn't rest Kane as much as he should. Really need him rested for France and this game is done.

Tbh resting Rice and Shaw would be good too, they've covered a lot of miles in this tournament.

 

[redcucumber]

Good. We want you very hyped. The takedown and the tears will taste even better

How dare fans get excited when they are 3 nil up in a World Cup knock out game

 

[mitchmouse]

United buy RIce, Bellingham and Kane and we might threaten

 

[Irwin99]

England will demolish France

I wonder how the game would pan out if the French score first. This England team explode into life and exploit space really well; just wonder if a team went one up against them and picked them off on the counter what kind of response we'd see.

 

[DevilRed]

We can beat france.

Its coming home.

 

[Timdbro]

Why take off two of the most rested players, and leave Kane, Bellingham, Rice, Walker, …

 

[SamVimes]

Luke Shaw has played well. Some of his touches and passing has been really good. Not been caught out like Walker has a few times.

 

[Bobski]

Kouilbaly is fecking tragic. His volley against Spurs feels like eons ago now.

He is a clumsy oaf.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

England will demolish France

France would destroy that England side that turned up for 30 minutes.
