I had zero concerns about this game. I have zero concerns about beating France either. I'm sure we'll win.
I think it's a toss of a coin. Both teams are going into it with no fear of the opposition, two of the three best teams so far this world cup (along with Brazil - who have been given a bye to the semi-finals), France are the favourites but I'd put it 60-40 and it could easily be the kind of game where one team gets a couple of goals and then just looks comfortable. That could be either team.
If we take a lead, whether it's 1 or 2, there'll be an onslaught from France. I think we'll hold them off. It'll be relentless, nervy, there'll be close calls but I think we'll see it through.
Seems like Sterlings home was robbed by armed intruders, while his family was there, so he's gone home to be with his family.
bloody hell, not nice. One round us where they broke in for blokes car keys. Shouted upstairs that if they get the keys nobody gets hurt(said they had knives) little did they know, he has his gun safe upstairs and came down with a shotgun….now loaded or not, they soon ****ed off. One of them coming to hide in my garden on the CCTV looked about 20 max.
I've not been impressed by the Frenchies. They've been strolling through games against piss poor opposition. Comfortable 3v1 England win.
Buzzing for Saturday already. Big games like this are what it's all about. Expecting a really tight game and the first goal is crucial imo. Mbappe makes it 60/40 in France's favour imo but we've got a great chance here.
@Sucky just gutted cos Trent boi aint getting a look in. Imagine starting him against Mbappe, bloody hell
Tbf to France they were one of the very few European nations who didn’t turn up with their political agendas I’ve enjoyed watching all the European teams sent packing…as much as I want England to win it…I won’t be bothered if they don’t because they are another nation who turned up with an agenda…a whiff of ‘we have come here to tell you how to live life’…yeh coz you’re such beacons of morality init Here’s hoping one from South America, Asia n Africa win it…they turned up to play football.
