  • Hopefully they don't put all their eggs into the basket of containing Mbappe. 

    Dembele, Griezmann and Giroud are all top players as well. We need a strong team performance to go through. 
  • Just used my Skybet free £1  on build a bet. If all 5 come in....its £300 return! A bet to nothing for me.
    Just did mine on England to win and Shaw to score. 40-1. 
  • Worst thing we can do tonight... Score too early

    Could Henderson man mark Mbappe with Walker mopping up, or would that be a waste of time and weaken us elsewhere? 
    I'm not sure Henderson has the pace needed to keep with Mbappe for the whole game. I think we'll have more luck trying to make France react to our game rather than being reactive to theirs. 
    Henderson will also be needed to do a job on Griezman. Bellingham has to be the one with license to get forward.

    I would say conceding very early will be worse than that 😉

    Unless we follow up the goal with a couple more!
  • Time is going so bloody slowly!

    Got my watch on. Heart rate has gone from a resting 55 to 82 already. Shitting it.
  • Which France players who are injured would have made their XI today, do we reckon? And are England at full strength?

    Pogba and / or Kante in midfield

    Benzema surely would have started ahead of Giroud

    Yes - Reckon England are at full strength, reckon Reece James and Ben Chilwell are the two missing from the whole squad, but dont think either would be necessarily starting today

    Benzema instead of Giroud. Kante and Pogba in the middle?

    Only change I can imagine would be if James were fit….. would he have been playing?
  • Good morning from Sydney, come on England!

    Don’t envy you. At least, we can sleep off any disappointment

    watching on the beach ?  B)
  • Don't France have a first choice defender out too (not counting the other Hernandez)?

    Liverpool's Konate (?) or is he on the bench
  • Emotions been ebbing and flowing all day but feeling strangely confident at the moment. Something about the calmness of this team !
  • IT'S COMING HOME 
  • C’mon England! High time to banish 56 years of hurt and disappointment

  • Don't underestimate the value of Hendo talking the defence (as well as the midfield) through the game.
  • I’m sensing a repeat of the Germany game in 2001. We will blow them away by 4 clear goals.
  • Whoever wins this wins the whole thing. 
  • The band has stopped playing in my boozer in Brazil.
    On goes the volume and national anthems.
  • Three Ipswich players in that line up, too... 
    Should have won the title the year before.

    WTF was that Maguire... Ohh ball popped
  • Dechamps is morphing in to Hugh Hefner 
  • Wow - one move took out half our team.
  • Cmon Shaw... Cant commit like that and fuck up
