I reckon the chances are 60/40 in France's favour & England's past tournament results don't fill me with confidence. But we have a good chance, so let's hope we go for it.
Right move for me, and and least people can’t excuse GS of being conservative now.
Yeah had we squeezed past Senegal then maybe three at the back would be better, as it is am glad that Gareth is going for it.
We need to remember it isn't just down to the Manager either though, the players need to be brave and have belief in themselves... He can stand on the sidelines urging them to get the ball to Kane etc, but if they're scared of losing the ball, making a mistake, they're going to take the safe / boring option.
lovely memories of 1982 in Spain at the time of the Falklands war .. we played France in the first round against a cauldron of Spanish hate, boos, whistles, pro Argentina chanting .. we won 3-1 and pissed the Spanish (and the French) right off .. titanic performance especially from skipper Bryan Robson who scored a memorable goal .. a repeat today would be just perfect ..

The first world cup I remember with England playing in it. Couldn't believe it when we scored after fifteen seconds.
I think this could be the game of the tournament. If as reported Southgate is starting the same formation then we have a chance. Wouldnt surprise me at all if it end 3-2 or 4-3 to either side hopefully its us. If we score 1st Gareth please dont revert to type and try to defend the lead !

Recognise all except the player between Mariner and Shilton. Probably the left back?

Puma Kings. Loved those boots. After having boots from lewisham market that i was forced to wear as my Nan got them for me, which made me play like a Charlton player, i got a pair of kings which made me play like a Stockport player. such a transformation.

We've looked good as a direct attacking team, would rather we didn't throw it all out because we're actually facing a challenge.
