Quarter-finals: England vs France on 10th December

[Carlos J]

Don't think England have done much wrong so far. Was a beautifully sweet strike for the goal, but 1-1 at half time would be a fairer reflection of the game.

About right, not much between the two sides.

If anything, other than the goal England look slightly more dangerous.

The main problem is the ball getting lost in that fucking Bermuda Triangle of Maguire, Stones and Rice. It goes into those three and takes forever to come back out from it (usually in the form of that idiot Maguire trying a diagonal pass and putting it into touch). Making it too easy for France to maintain their shape.

Spot on. Same as the start v Senegal. Other teams pass it around their defence at tempo. Ours is barely at walking pace.

Matterface is fucking shit

The ref is making it very difficult to argue against him being bent. He is missing too many blatant fouls against England players

Isn't he from Colombia? Not a nation that fills me with great confidence when it comes to rule of law.
