England v France 10:24 - Dec 7 with 3735 viewsvilanovablue

What is everyone thinking, have England got enough to get past them?

I checked the supercomputer which has is 52% - 48% in our favour. I think we might actually win quite easily France were very poor in places against Poland who looked awful all tournament.

In case anyone is interested:

If we are brave and go at them we have a very good chance. Pretty much as close to a 50:50 as you are going to get.

Easily? Doubt it.

I think it will be 3-2 either way. France score first forcing us to attack more which could be a good thing.

Imagine England taking the field without Kane,Bellingham and Rice - that’s effectively what the French are doing reasonably well so far.

The view of the French media over here is that France are strong (attack) where England are weak (defence). Stats don’t quite back that up as England’s defence has been rather good.

Rather depends which England turns up - and whether Southgate has the courage to try and win the game, rather than not lose it. In my humble opinion England’s midfield is far better than France, probably better in goal and maybe better in attack. It’s a game England could very easily win - or lose. I hope they do themselves justice

Totally agree - we have to go for it to win, not play with a defensive mindset or formation.

If England are going to beat France then they need to play well from the start - no settling in period of the first 30 mins. And no switch-off from the central defenders.

If we’re brave and concentrate for the entire match then I think we can beat them.

we've got a real attacking threat, and while they have one or 2 we must keep an eye on obviously i just see that we'll edge it.
2-1 england, i did previously thinking 3-2.... so either one of those would be lovely.

I did preface the easily with might as it's by no means a foregone conclusion.

under southgate we've achieved many thinga tht england has failed to do in donkeys years, or ever.

- win on pens
- get to a WC semi
- get to a euro final

i think france saturday will be the "first win over serious opposition in the knockout stage"

i cant wait

We have to upset them early. I think that comes down to isolating and roughing up Mbappe and Griezman, and Maguire getting a head on any ball going remotely close to Giroud. Henderson, Rice and Bellingham can boss that midfield if they are on song again.

They look to have too much for us, defensively we're poor against better opposition. Need to stop Griezman primarily as that's largely where Mbappe and Dembele get their service from. Walker needs to boot Mbappe into the stands in the first minute and take a booking.

If we do bag an early goal, we mustn't make the same mistake we made against Italy and then sit back and just go defensive. Keep at 'em!

yeah but then he spends the rest of the game worrying about putting a tackle in? Not a good tactic!

Thankfully we have cover, interestingly it also mentions Mbappe training separately...

I'd say France are another level entirely. Germany were on a decline that they're still in and not near the strength they have been over the last decade or more whereas France are defending Champions at the top of their game with the best player in the world looking near impossible to stop.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

All we need to do is let either Derek Jefferson or Mick McNeil have one tackle on that winger.

I would think most people would say England are favourites if France say had Thuram playing on the left instead of Mbappe.

France are heavily reliant on one play, England aren't.

So its down to whether England can keep Mbappe quiet, which is doable.

England haven’t really been tested yet as all their opponents so far have been quite poor. France will be a very different proposition though.

My prediction is that we’ll beat France (just) and lose to Portugal who looked really good yesterday. Brazil v Portugal final
