Good performance from the lads.
Despite a few errors, the three at the back certainly does make us look better defensively. There are still a few minor changes I would make, but all in all, happy with the performance against a good Belgium side.

England vs Belgium
To play good football with the line-up was never possible but okay at least a win.

The second half was a lot better.
he's going to snub a team he doesn't have a sniff of getting in?
Belgium are the number 1 ranked team in the world? What? How?
We could have done with Haaland. Release clause or not
yeah and I have no interest in Scarlett Johansson ...
He's been in squads, and being at United he has every chance of featuring in the future.
Especially as he's a better defender than all of the others.
Pogba starts for France, Bruno for Portugal. Martial on bench.
This lucky win will be a vindication of Southgate and his negative tactics. Shame Belgium didn't turn them over but you look at the resources available to Belgium compared to England
I think Utd should put in a bid for this guy...he looks quite good. Has he been under the radar?
Don't see how Belgium are ranked No.1 when it's clear that France are.
The FIFA international ranking system has never been the best, to be honest.

Is he really...
I really don't get the negativity against Southgate. He has done a good job as the England manager.
Who else would do any better?
Maguire was good today
Same here. It seems some fans think they have a divine right to choose the manager And team themselves.
Are these France and Portugal's strongest XIs?
France win the "who has the best national anthem" contest by a mile.
Sure. But this is a little bit strange, isn't it ? For years, people said that Portugal wasn't quite on the same level as '' the big names '' like France, Brazil, Argentina, England, Italy, Germany, Spain and Netherlands
They had the likes of Rui Costa, Figo, Quaresma and Ronaldo himself on the team, but people still didn't have high expectations
Italy's is pretty good for drama.
I just hope Giroud doesnt get injured anytime soon.
Pretty much I would say. Not sure about Rabiot being in there. Maybe not Pogba either.
Switch Martial for Giroud ...
Thankfully Deschamps doesnt have a short-term memory and is fully aware than Paul is his best midfielder by far!
Jesus, France's squad is ridiculous. We have a great team and I still think they could beat us with their bench
Isn't Giroud close to being France's all time top scorer? The lack of respect he gets is shameful!
Does Pogba have an arm injury?
Elbow smash to the back of the head. Lucking there's no VAR as he'd be off.
I would take the massive pace of a duo of Martial and Mbappe upfront over Olivier's goal tally
Been a while since I've seen Pogba as LCM. If he kills it I can see people clamouring on him not playing beside Matic anymore
I'll take the goals over watching fast runners.
didnt score a goal during the world cup18.I would rather terrify teams with electric pace upfront and talents in big competition that having a slow footed sneaky Friendliesgoal scorer
France has an incredible team and depth. I don't think there will be another Paris miracle.
Nice ball in by Bruno.
Lots of social distancing and face masks on the French bench.
He won the thing though which is the most important thing!
When you play with just lightning fast players who can't hold the ball up or bring others into play, you are easy as feck to defend against. France have a nice mix and their manager knows this.
Look at that Giroud lover.
