You'd think the Argies would have too much experience to let France back in here but the Dutch came back. Saying that France have been unbelievably poor...
 
Shame England didn’t get to play this French team.
We did, but we didn't play 4 or 5 in midfield ! We had Henderson as a wide man in a 3. Blame the manager for poor selection. The French look like they've had a virus too. Of course it helps when you get a penalty every game, oh hang on, we had 2 of those aswell !

Henderson played in front of Mbappe to cut off his supply line and it worked perfectly.
England dominated the midfield for most of the second half against France.
Southgate was too little, too late with his substitutions, but even then, it's not his fault Kane skied a penalty whilst we were on top.
