[Football] World Cup - Day Twenty One... Time for the boys to do us proud.

[HalfaSeatOn]

I haven’t seen too much of the WC but France look on a higher level. Seem to be in cruise control. Don’t think England have got enough incisive players in the starting 11 to get through this game. Subs going to be key.

Maddison for Henderson
Rashford for Saka

Would leave just Rice who’s looked vulnerable this game covering Maguire & co against Mpappe/Dembele/Giroud.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Taking Rice off would be suicidal! You can’t leave Henderson and Bellingham to deal with Griezmann and the rest of the French midfield, England would be totally over run! Plus you would totally neutralise England’s best player in Bellingham.

Rice has been poor, sometimes you need to be brave.

Micro analysis?

It was a clear foul within the box in real time and in every replay.

VAR don't think so. Some folk on here don't think so. Call it a 50/50. We didn't get it this time.

 

[Randy McNob]

Saka has been great imo. Should have had a couple of free kicks he didn't get.

Henderson not great... but see no real need for half-time subs. Looking ok.

Henderson is keeping one eye on Mbappe so needs to stay on. I might take Foden off after a while for Rashford, he has a bit more physicality

 

[Frutos]

I wish the commentators would stop with this "should have had a penalty" narrative.

Whether we should have or not, its gone - move on.

Agree.

Good save by Lloris

 

[Swansman]

Really, where the contact happens?

Yup

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

FFS Hugo, you complete bellend

 

[US Seagull]

How did we not bury that corner? FFS

 

[KZNSeagull]

Brilliant dive from Mbappe

 

[Curious Orange]

These two teams are pretty pedestrian if we're being honest.

 

[Eric the meek]

Yup

After a long break, you’re back to troll about England …. again.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

O Saka, that’s so poor

 

[KZNSeagull]

[Kinky Gerbil]
