England v France - Sat 10th Dec, 19:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[MCFC1993]

I'm already looking forward to this one.



Live on ITV 1. I will update more details closer to the time.

England's results so far:


France's results so far:


What have we got to fear here?
Nobody fancies us but is our squad really that much inferior to the French squad, they have one unbelievable player who our right back has pocketed multiple times. Most clean sheets, most goals scored, there's a chance. Okay I'm maybe a little bit giddy but it should be a good game.

England XI v Senegal:


France XI v Poland:

We will probably thrash France then go out on penalties in next round

France aren't anything to be frightened of. if you attack them they are really passive and can be got at, the problem is we have waistcoat as manager who is very likely to shit his pants and do the exact opposite to that.

If you're Mbappe you don't even bother coming up against Walker, he was pocketed everytime he's come up against him in the champions league. (all the pundits seem to be oblivious to those games) if you're mbappe you just switch flanks and target Shaw and Maguire.

Were capable of beating them but i expect them to punish us badly from our mistakes, our midfield just isn't capable of not making shitty mistakes to stifle them.

Exactly what I was gonna say, if I was Mbappe, I’d switch sides with Dembele.

I hope waistcoat doesn’t go with 5 at the back. For me, that just always makes us get overrun in middle of the park and invites pressure, and I don’t think you can allow that to happen at this level.

He needs to be brave and understand our attacking talent is up there with anyone and the best form of defence in this game is take the game to them. Obviously we still need to be careful at the back but if you’re just gonna be negative and invite the likes of Griezmann and Mbappé onto you, you’re asking for trouble

We are due some luck against the economic migrant sending horse eaters

 

[Stoned Rose]

Walker will need to have a monstrous game and keep Mbappe quiet.

The rest of it will take care of itself.

 

[Gray]

Stop Griezmann and you have every chance of winning, he is their engine room.

Putin loving.

Going to be a difficult game, but looking at those two prospective line-ups we shouldn’t fear them. Mbappe is the difference. If we can somehow keep him quiet, and there’s probably no-one better equipped than Walker to do that, then we have every chance.
