    England look good. If they pass the France test then another test against Spain probably. If they reach the final it's on merit. If they do beat France though, then I think they will make the final.

    France will be their real first test and it will certainly be a test of their defence. Senegal could /should have been 1 goal up and possibly 2. So it will be an interesting game on Saturday and my money is on France.

    France will start as favourites simply because of Mbappe who has easily been the best player of the tournament. The prospect of him running at Maguire or Stones is a bit frightening. Both teams look better going forward than defending so perhaps we'll get a few goals.

    Will be interesting to see if England do anything special to stop Mbappe like doubling up or man-to-man marking. Kyle Walker will probably be put on him as England's quickest defender.

    Yep they'll probably kick **** out of Mbape or sacrifice a player on a red if he starts to run riot ?
    But if englund win fair and square playing the first normally good team they've met so far then they will deserve to go a bit further.

    So much for taking 1000 penalties each before going to Qatar.

    I didn't think Portugal had it in them. No chance for Morocco if they continue in that vein... saying that anyone remember that dreadful Greece side? <whistle>
