    Tbf to Australia, I know it's only been 12 mins but they've been keeping possession when they've had the ball.

    The heat?

    Aussie, Mexico, Saudi all used to it but the favourites (apart from England) not so much.

    They've looked decent. Winning the ball back, breaking in numbers, keeping possession. Those diagonal long balls are stretching the French.

    I mean they're not giving it away. They're composed on the ball and there's always an option available.

    The French do not look up for this at all. :confused:

    Maybe they just expected to turn up and win.

    That is what I originally thought but the stadiums have air con and it’s actually cool in their pitch side apparently.

    Could be the air though. I just think world football has improved immensely.

    Like you say bar England. So far the top teams have been bang average.

    Spot on. Limelight will all go on Mbappe but Dembele is a top player.

    Would've been one of those classic WC goals. The 30 yard screamers.

    It’s brilliant. World football clubs have decided you know what let’s just have a go. We can shake it up.

    Saudi where immense against Argentina.

    I think this World Cup could be anyones.

    Just wide of the post. I think world football was trying to suck it in the net.

    France turned up here just expecting the Aussies to roll over.

    I posted this yesterday. But when I said anyone's I meant England's.

    It's the best chance we've ever had imo.

    Dipping vollies are my favourite. Think Maxi Rodriguez against Mexico.

    Really liked Saka’s finish for his first yesterday tbf.

    So far out of the teams I have watched we have played the best. But we are carp at the back.

    Great opportunity though as long as Southgate doesn’t go all pragmatic and do daft stuff we are a shoehorn.
