Let’s see what happens tomorrow but there are no two ways about it - France will be big big favourites against us. Mbappé, Griezmann, Pogba, Kante...... they have a lot.
Finals a one off game though so you would have to hope our lot could raise their game one last time.
Could see Mbeppe and Pogba ripping an extra one for us.....
I don't know, maybe England teams of yesteryear, but I've personally got so much more confidence in this team and management to do their homework and hopefully back it up.
IF we be get past Croatia, I think it's deffo game on in the the final
The only team we should be thinking about is Croatia. That is now a 50/50 game between two unlikely semi finalists. France were very strong tonight and can play defensive or go for the jugular. They didn't hit top gear tonight but did enough.
Disciplined performance by the French, especially after they went ahead. I fancied the Belgians to win beforehand and they certainly had enough of the ball, but I thought they were disappointing overall. The French will be clear favourites to win it all now, but if we get through we can beat them. Come on England!
Meanwhile for Belgium's golden generation potentially that was the last chance for a few of them to win the big one (although they will still have the next euros) - Kompany who will be 36 next world cup, Vertonghen will be 35, Witsel will be 33, Fellaini will be 34, Dembele will be 34, Vermaelen will be 36, Mertens 35, Alderweireld 33.

I hope so.
Will you be popping down the bar for the game con les garcons from la ville?
I fancied the French to win but it was a tight game. They deserved it though and I would definitely have preferred Belgium in the Final but never mind. What disapointed me about Belgium was they took too long to start taking risks, they were building slowly from the back - but it was mostly just extra passes and they needed another front man or attacking midfielder on with 20 mins to go. When a move builds and a cross goes in, I would want as many red shirts in the box as French ones at the very least!
Southgate has seen how France will play if they take the lead against us, which could be useful. Let's beat Croatia first but France are going to be tough but beatable. They are definitely strong favourites.

Gets a brace against Tunisia and Panama, but when it really matters fails to turn up.
Japan last 16 0 goals
Brazil quarters 0 goals

Dont forgot the 3rd place playoff.
Mother in law is French - she isn't watching it with me- she can do one !
The third place match is still to come though for Lukaku
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhah([(@hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
That said, if we do it to them then I will cheer every foul and every yellow card.

Croatia first though - and that’s tough enough!
England beats France and wins World Cup.
Southgate gets top managerial position.

To I think tomorrow we're 55/45 favourites, whereas against France it would be 45/55

Taking Fellaini off for the last 15 was odd too, especially as he looked more likely to score than Lukaku!
