    Nah, they were poor. They were well struck, but not in the corner and they made it obvious which way they were going.

    It doesn't matter if you show which way you're going if you hit it well enough.

    Ok, first shot on target. Totally agree that the players kept trying but as I've said elsewhere its not the players, its the system.

    I think Switzerland have a great team! I might be punishing Portugal for having Ronaldo though!

    I thought I would push us up a bit on performance to keep Tom happy :D

    I don’t actually think France have a better squad than us. Three/Four of them get in our team, as I said previously. Mbappe, Kante, Saliba then Hernandez as a result of us not having an LB.

    Portugal struggled just as much as England against Slovenia. France have really underperformed as well. TBH the top 4 have been very good, the rest have been average to poor.

    Combined France / England XI

    Pickford

    Kounde
    Saliba
    Stones
    Hernandez

    Kante
    Rice

    Mbappe
    Bellingham
    Saka

    Kane

    It's bloody close, but I guess I could see England edging this. And please nobody say Walker should be RB. He has been awful.

    Which team would win? The Anglo-Germanic Alliance or the Franco-Angleterre?
