Difficult call Portugal, they weren’t great in the group stage - but was that due to the Ronaldo issue?

Looked great against Switzerland, but just how good are Switzerland and was it more them playing badly.

They look good for the semis of course, I’m not sure they beat England, France or Brazil though
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You do remember Portugal having a spells v Ghana and Uruguay where they simply blew them away? Ronaldo was there.

Portugal with or without Ronaldo are a quality team. the English obsession with Ronaldo right now is funny. Portugal win, nothing said, Portugal lose - blame Ronaldo.

Saying you aren't sure they can beat England - based on what that you think Switzerland arent great? So far England have beat a poor Wales team, a poor Senegal team and an awful Iran team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
wasting your time chief, this guy is of the opinion that England shouldnt be losing to teams like France.

They were lucky to beat Ghana, the pen was debatable and they were poor at the back in that game. Sure they will have spells, but they gave Ghana spells also and they aren’t even the African champions, that’s the Senegal side England dispatched of.

They lost to South Korea and have conceded 5 times already this tournament, England have 3 clean sheets in a row.

I will never post on this site again if the Portu geezers win it - that’s a promise

Shouldn’t be losing to this particular France team with their current injury issues - that’s what I said, that’s what I maintain.

We will see if I’m right on Saturday

winning on saturday will not prove anything ...

England are more than capable of beating France and likewise the opposite.

theyu are about equal i actually think France edge it.

but teams on par with each other cannot claim that they SHOULd be beating them IMO.

it appears that you think England are a level above France hence should beat them.

Your the only person I have heard with this opinion

Anyone who supports a side with Harry Maguire in defence should be wary of pointing out other teams' defensive frailties.

The France forwards are gonna make him look silly on Saturday I suspect.

Looking forward to the Walker v Mbappe contest though.

Foden vs whoever France can rustle up on the right will be a lot of fun as Will Saka vs Hernandez and Kane vs Varane

Watch England play a 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 for the first 45-60 mins and barely get the ball into France's final third.

Will be a couple of goals down by the half hour mark.. and only then will Southgate think about changing it.

If we go 3 at the back on Saturday then it will likely cost him his job. If we go at France and lose the fans will still back him, if all we do is try and stop them scoring only for them to do so anyway then he will be run out of town. We should line up:

Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
Rice Henderson Bellingham
Saka Kane Foden

On the front foot and going for the French jugular

Germany at the Euros last year
Argentina in 2002 in the groups

If you ask me, that's the only occasions in the last 20 years that England have beaten a side that are of around the same quality as them or better at a major tournament

To dive deeper into that stat....in 2002 Argentina didn't even make it out the group stages.....and the Germany side they beat at the Euros last year have failed to make it out the groups at the last 2 World Cups

Portugal
Croatia
France
Brazil
England have lost to them all at major tournaments in the last 20 years

Based on this....I really don't know where this confidence comes from England fans regards the France game

tbf only one of their fans on here is saying England are a level above France.

the vast majority on here seem to have the opinion its a 50/50 game that France might edge.

Do England have a chance...of course they have, who knows what can happen on the day

France are clear favourites though

posted on 8/12/22

France are favourites, don’t agree they’re clear favourites.

If you look at last year, France were knocked out by Switzerland at last 16 and England went to final. England also have better tournament so far

posted on 8/12/22

also disagree france are clear favourites.

Bookies also disagree:

France at 4/1 to win the comp
England are 6/1 to win the comp

My money is on France but...
They have a keeper who is very prone to error
A dodgy defence
Don't rate Rabiot at all, and think Tchouameni hasn't been great in the WC.
Don't think Griezmann is particularly great. Dembele is very hit and miss.

Mbappe and Giroud aside, there is not much about the side currently. And Don't forget they were in awful form before the WC - similar to England.

*for the England game, not the WC. I'm still on Brazil.

Hold on

Just wait up here


You beat France in a mini tournament 25 years ago almost to the day. A meaningless tournament.

This is your reasoning for being confident against them?

True he probably thinks if they beat France and get to the final then all they need to do is stop Roberto Carlos scoring a free kick

he's is just an infant who I have spent far too much time on.

He made some daft claims about Rabiot and I corrected them and he has been obsessed since.

each to their own, I shoulda just ignored him long ago.

every village has its idiot
