Foul on saka no?

How else would you suggest we prepare for a game in the snow??

Said it before and will say it again. Messi is a cracking player, no doubt about it, but the commentators and pundits constantly are cringeworthy beyond belief with how they talk about him.

Purely because he's had a week off training I wouldn't start him but he'd be a good option from the bench

I totally agree with this! I really dislike it. Ive gotten flak from people before for saying I don't like Pep football. It looks fantastic as a highlights package but I really don't like watching a full game of it as there's a lot of passing it about, dominating the game without a lot of action.

Our route to the final was underrated. If we played Ukraine --> Denmark --> Germany it would have been a tricky draw. The order we did it in looks easy but at the end of the day it's the same three teams we have to beat but it can be dismissed because Denmark is an "easy semi"

Spain showing that a good start to the tournament counts for nothing

We'd never let the game be that open in the first half and Brazil conceaded a few chances. I'm not seeing anyone at this world cup that we couldn't give a good game. I'm not saying we will beat everyone or anything like that but I don't think we'll play anyone where the game is lost before we've even kicked off

Calculators? It's all about overly complicated spreadsheets now

You boomers need to learn what trolling means. Hint: It's not holding different / bizzare opinions.

Same 11 against France I reckon. Get Walker to look after Mbappe and have Henderson and Rice cover any holes that might leave. Also we've got to look after Giroud as well and not underestimate him but I'm less worried about him in a foot race against maguire but he needs to stay switched on. I like that midfield 3 a lot. Bellingham does what I wanted from Mount I.e. can sit deeper and help defend but then turns into an extra attacker when we're going forward. Hendersons energy and leadership is vital. Our choice of attacking options is unreal! Can England beat France - absolutely we can. Will we - that's to be seen but no one should be writing us off.

He's criminally under rated as a player. I think he's great, he does a lot of the dirty ugly work that no one else wants to do that and is an experienced leader on the pitch. He does a lot of shouting and organising which I don't really see from Harry Kane but which I think is so vital for our younger players. Work rate is off the charts as well. I've thought this season he's not been at it and maybe age is catching up to his high energy game but when he's in the mood he was last night he has to start

Slowish start but I think some are exaggerating how bad we were in the first 30mins. We played with some intensity and a lot in their half before going pedestrian walking football. Few lapses in concentration could have been punished but you can't go a whole tournament with out concealing chances. France looked as vulnerable against Poland before they scored so let's compare apples with apples, none of the big guns have put in flawless performances consistently

It's how he plays most games for Liverpool. I think he's underrated by a lot of people

Don't mind that team. Think Henderson is a solid addition to shore up midfield

Messi tried a dribble and got tackled and the commentators acted like it was the second coming of christ. I do that every time I play football

Obviously Messi is class but I hate that every match he plays in becomes an absolute jizz fest before, during and after the game. Dime pundits are cringeworthy

From that picture posted it looks in. Some of the shots on TV it looked a little further over though but it only needs the smallest fractions to be in

Looked out to me too. Must have either been a fraction of a mm not over the line or they couldn't get a definitive angle to overrule

Kane is a class player but overplayed. He gets absolutely rinsed week in week out for Tottenham and then always get more minutes than needed for England. Today is the only time I thought he was subbed at the right time.

We looked much better when we lost the ball and we suddenly pressed with intensity, played a few quick passes and ran at them. Having tons of the ball against a team set up to not conceade just wasn't good to watch and we created very little. With the players we've got we could really hurt teams on the break which will hopefully help us against better teams. I'm just praying we don't score early in an important game as that's when it all goes wrong for us.

Threads gone quiet since we scored

If its a back 5, for the love of God play TAA
