I think we're due a more complete footballing performance. Not in terms of laws of probability, but we've faced a couple of defensively minded sides in the 2nd and 3rd group games, the early DR Congo goal rendered that an exercise in attack v defence for the most part, against the lowest of blocks. On to Mexico in the altitude, with 10 men for most of the 2nd half, then Norway in 41 degrees real feel heat.
I reckon there's a lot of pent up desire to go and take the handbrake off a bit, under the roof in the AC, against a side that won't show us the level of respect others have. Could be a thriller. Chance to reach only our 2nd ever WC final and 1st on foreign shores.
I would love it if we beat them, love it. |  | | |  |

I'm a little confused by why we "should have enough about us to win".
I'm of the opinion we are the 4th seed in a semi-final line up that is the top 4 seeds. It should lead to a France v Argentina final. That is also very unusual for any tournament to have progressed that neatly.
I see England as having a reasonable chance to reach the final and that is great. I think it is the spirit and togetherness that is most important along with the quality of Bellingham especially. However (although I haven't watched them), I suspect the same is true of Argentina where they will look to the quality of Messi but it will be ably supported by a collection of top players who, on paper, shade England's for quality.
England's most convincing performance so far has been winning by 2 goals v Croatia (whilst conceding twice) or beating Mexico in the Azteca. Argentina won all their group games by two goals and only conceded once. Meanwhile England have drawn with Ghana and struggled against DR Congo. Argentina struggled against Switzerland but not anyone else.
I think the defence will be the key and I haven't been convinced by England's in any of our matches. |
You haven’t watched them so not sure how you’ve drawn those conclusions.
They were fortunate against Cape Verde, Egypt and the Swiss. As we were against Norway.
It’s a flip of a coin game between two teams with some elite players and clear flaws. Has the potential to be a classic.
Let’s have it. |  |

I'm very much enjoying watching Anderson. I thought he was just an 'engine' player, and then he started pinging balls around like Prime Pirlo.
I'm very much NOT enjoying watching Madueke on the wing.
Djed Spence started to believe in himself against Norway.
And Tuchel brining Dan Burn looks to have been a stroke of genius! |  | | |
