You're right. That's some task to stifle him.

Let's hope we can get the win tonight and then we'll be the underdogs. I prefer that.
I don’t think we do very well as underdogs, TBH, and play our best football when we’re full of confidence.

An in form Walker can at least keep pace with him, but I can’t see Stones keeping him under control for a full 90 minutes.

I hate stuttering pens, should be banned along with Mbappe before the next round.

Annoys me that players can stutter and f*ck about in their run up when taking a penalty. Of course the ‘keeper is going to move :thdn:

If we win tonight we will have to show something we have not even been close to yet. The French look a class apart so far in the competition. Saying that the keeper is their weak link and Kane will know that more than most.

Was Mbappe playing?

The commentary team didn't mentioned him.

The problem we had vs the USA was they set up to nullify us and waistcoat had no idea how to counter their tactics.

We looked average last year vs Scotland and then swept Germany aside next round.

The point is this French team are very much beatable if we show up, and for me are not as good as they were 4 years ago aside from Mbappe.

I admit to a small part of me thinking a heroic exit tonight would save me the tension of having to watch this France team take us apart.

However, a good win against Senegal, and a victory over France in any form, is what world cup winners are made of.
