Martinez apparently has Vertonghen at LB and Chadli at RB against Mbappe and friends. Well, he's going to look like an idiot or a genius. I like it as a fan because it's been wide open so far.
 
Mrs Tweedy is doing well for France, but she's changed a lot from the last time I saw her.......

Mousa's looked off it, unfortunately. Rather like the FA Cup semi-final, Pogba's got his number so far. As much as we all love him, it's the right time to wish him well in pastures new.

I don't think that Martinez has helped him with that system. Got it right in the last game, then changed it.
I understand that Meunier's suspended, but why change the tactics?
 
Dembele keeps getting caught, has committed 4 fouls and has looked a shadow of his best.
Chadli has reverted to the version we let go.
Fellaini has just reverted to type after surprising the world for a couple of games.

With Hazard and DeBruyne pretty much getting overrun, it's difficult to see BelSpurs coming back into this.
 
DeBruyne leads a charmed life with the commentators. He makes any number of mistakes tonight but doesn't get criticised.
 
Belgium need full backs.
A lot of talented players - but they can't be arranged into a team properly.
France have good players in every position - and reserves in every position too.
IF we make it through, I cannot see any way that we will beat a France team with Kante, Mbappe et al on this form.
