Take nothing away from Australia but France are not even really pressing them in their own half.

Pavard never takes on his man, waste of a FB. Get Sidibe on or something.

Thats the problem with playing a CB at RB. But Sidibe has a knock so not much choice.
 
I think Pogba is more a midfielder who needs to get into duels. He's best when he can combine his phisicality with his creativity.

how you feeling about England this tournament and the first game against Tunisia? I really don't know what to expect, will be a tough game though and hope we don't perform like we did against Iceland again.

Also not sure about this 3 at the back lark, as soon as you start relying on likes of Maguire as an outside CB you're going to be in troublee against good opposition out-wide who will exploit him.

just seems over-complicating it to me, but it has worked so far I guess in qualifying. Just seems odd when you are playing a team like Tunisia and Panama do you really need 3 CB's? our Centre-back's are hardly great either.

I wasn't keen on Southgate appointment, but so far he seems to be willing to let the shackles off somewhat and play with freedom. Also he's been honest with the teams performance after matches, so can't complain too much.

This tournament will be the real judge though obviously.
 
Not convinced by the penalty the Aussies gave away but what was umtiti doing

Yeah never liked 3 at the back tbh. Southgate has us organised but tend to rely on one of the forwards for a bit of magic. Don’t think we play particularly good football to watch.

We have players to do fairly well but no big expectations. Think we will scrape though the group most likely get knocked out in the next round.
 
Messi has been dog ****!!!!

1-1 Argies were terrible! No team putting a market down so far.
