Bill 1,788 Posted July 7, 2018 I''m rather concerned that my thought before the start of the tournament that Russia had ''already won it'' might not end as a joke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted July 10, 2018 If we get there then France will be an incredibly hard game. One game at a time though so bring on Croatia 🙏🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 10, 2018 Even game I think.France''s big name, Mbappe, played well. Belgium''s big player De Bruyne didn''t. I think that was the only difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,793 Posted July 10, 2018 Aye. France defensively were solid with Pogba having a strong game. 1-0 about right I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 757 Posted July 10, 2018 I’d rather be playing France (IF we get to the final) than Belgium. The thought of Hazard and De Bruyne running at Maguire and Stones, and Lukaku beating Walker in the air made me very nervous. Mbappe is a bit special but nobody else in the French team worries me anywhere near as much as Hazard and De Bruyne.France’s defence doesn’t worry me too much either - we aren’t going to break it down in open play but I’d fancy us to nick something from a set piece as we have been doing most of the tournament. Croatia will be interesting - how we deal with their midfield will be the biggest issue. Personally, I’d stick with the system we have been using (just Henderson, not him and Dier) and if we lose, we lose playing our way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,457 Posted July 11, 2018 Got the feeling this is one of those games where there is not time for any internet. It is 100% eyes on the game where ever they are. England doing very well, but need a two goal cushion or playing well means nount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,395 Posted July 11, 2018 Fairly comfortable so far. Another goal will finish it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,793 Posted July 11, 2018 Doing well, got a bit sloppy near the end, but other than that,in control.Anybody see the Norwich boys just to the side of Pickford''s goal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
