Will ingerland win the cup?

France have not kept a clean sheet yet and we have 3 abs scored 12.

Let them worry about us.

Good point buddy.

Nullify Mbappe and job over......where's Rathbone when you need him.

We can’t faff about at back against France

Totally hate our back line play and the more we move on, other teams will press and punish us.

It's time we ROARED for once.

France also had you can argue a tougher group.

Who been our toughest opponents.

We haven't faced a good side yet

What's all this roaring sh1te? Yes, the way Senegal set up made it hard to find gaps to pass into as well as time to look for it but when we finally worked the opportunities, they were taken. France will set up differently and it is likely that passing forward into space will be easier. The problem is that when they come at us, we don't really have the defence that is likely to cope. But as has been pointed out, their defence is suspect also so I think it will be close. As usual, freak or exceptional moments will decide it and on balance they have the team, with more experience in the middle, that is more likely to win. But wouldn't be surprised if one or two of those moments went our way.

But then Spain. And then Brazil.

Oh f*uck this, I'm not watching anymore.

Next time anyone complains about TV pundits not knowing what they are talking about they should read the MM in match comments to see some of the pearls of wisdom on here

Senegal weren't a test. France will be. Was too easy to be exciting.

I’m not sure where that comes from. They are the best team in Africa. Very fit physical and quick.
Pickford made an excellent save at nil nil and Rice protected the back 4 impeccably.
Of course France will be harder. They are the works champions. But we have a great chance of beating them.

All 4 of our opponents have been ranked in the top 20. 2/4 of Frances aren’t even in the top 30 and they lost one of those.
