    I honestly think this team could win the World Cup if they could be a bit more clinical in front of goal, the speed that they counterattack is breath taking and as was said on the commentary they have only conceded one goal so far in this tournament and that was an own goal.

    Laughing then, and who can blame him, money is ruining our game, when players are worth more than the clubs they play for its madness.

    The also seem to have a great spirit. No egos and all in the trenches together. As chunk posted earlier, if it's not England then I'll be backing these lot all the way.

    Agreed, but the back 6 can be got at

    Absolutely, I hope this is an open game going toe to toe as we will win imo. I think it will end in being cagey but I hope not.

    As much as everyone goes on about France, we are no slouches going forward.

    Get them turning and we have a chance

    After thinking it should be a back 5 for this match for the entire tournament, I've changed my mind after I took in the last rounds performance. It was a straight forward decision in the end.

    Southgate's team should keep 95% of fans happy.

    I'm pleased he has kept it the same. I hope we go at these, we can get goals here without a doubt.

    What a game this is. I think we are a proper tournament team these days. We turn up when it matters. I am confident we will tonight. Hell of a tough game mind, probably, on reflection the best two teams in the tournament. I make England slight favourites, because of the bench, and because of Bellingham and Hendo. If those two can get beyond the french midfield 3 and turn them round it could be the game in my opinion. I had thought Hendo was on the decline, but he has been massive for us this tournament. Southgate as well, absolutely brilliant job. I know he is not everyones cup of tea but for me he has been outstanding and I hope whatever happens tonight and the rest of the tournament he sticks with it - plenty more to come from this team. I think they are on the brink of a period of dominance.

    I think we're the better team. They have an incredible front 4 that can of course beat us if they're all at their best but our attack can cause them plenty of problems as well and I think our midfield and full back positions are stronger.
