Indeed we did. But it was a very even game, was it not? And but for a very rare Kane missed pen, I fancy we would have won it in ET or on pens.IIRC we lost to France in Qatar (as I'd correctly predicted).Who we'll lose to in Germany I've no idea.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree here.
FWIW I always thought there'd be only one winner -and it wasn't going to be England.Also thought it was worrying that they did a demolition job on Holland the other night too.Looks like they might be around as a force for a bit.
I wasn't over-impressed with their display against the Irish. I will maintain that the two best teams in Europe are France and England and that they are very evenly matched.I think we'll have to agree to disagree here.
France seemed to be more interested in game management than scoring again after Pavard's screamer. To my mind, they ought to be capable of so much more with some potentially flair players but you only see it in patches and they seem content just to play the game out once they go ahead. Must be frustrating to be a supporter
Haven't seen any of the 4 goals they scored in their recent demolition job against Holland.But on paper at least that's an impressive performance.
Yes, They showed against Holland what they could do early on and then eased off with all the sideways and backwards stuff. Just seem capable of so much more but playing within themselves much of the time.
That would indicate they're a good side who know about game management.
Absolutely agree, Deschamps is a winner and they are so well drilled but as a spectator I would just like to see them turn it on for longer spells than fifteen minutes here and there.
Sounds a lot like England. I would like them to step on teams' throats when they have them on the ropes.
Like they did against Ukraine?
No they didn't. That's the whole point.Like they did against Ukraine?
Don't you find the literal-minded are so easy to satirise?
