France v Denmark - Sat 26th Nov, 16:00 | Group D | World Cup 2022

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Should be a red that. No ones catching mbappe there

Glad for the game that it wasn’t, but no one was catching him there.

Coach has set up France like a Gareth v Denmark.
Deep defence , no pressing. Mbappe on the break or a giroud set piece, shame.

Which Hernandez is playing? The woman beater or the other one?

I would love to see a statistical analysis of the results of second games of the group stage after one of the participating teams won their first match.

I wonder if draws are statistically more frequent due to the higher likelihood of progression to the knockout round if you get 4 points from the first two games.

Chalk and cheese, France pass and move v England standing about. Daft Gareth would have Mbappe and Dembele sat on the bench

It certainly seems to have a big influence on tactics.
Dembelli and mbappe are perfect for counter attacking I suppose but as you say a draw for France is good enough.

Seems the tv folk have had a word with fifa. The added time has been going down in the games I’ve seen.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Unimpressed by France to be honest.
