Hugo v Harry. We have the two captains and June will be a semi finalist at the very minimum.
I suppose this was the minimum expected of England right? Majority thought France in the quarters would be it. Anything from here is a bonus.
It would be so ironic if England won a penalty in the dying minutes of the game that would see them through if Harry scores or it takes it to extra time with Hugo being the one who can snatch it all away.Hugo v Harry. We have the two captains and June will be a semi finalist at the very minimum.

Pity. I'd rather we set up to cause them problems (eg. Exploit the space behind Mbappe) rather than change our game to contain them.Wouldn’t be surprised to see Southgate going with a back five with Trippier/Walker combo to try and stop Mbappe.
Imo that's why he gave Dier minutes last night.Wouldn’t be surprised to see Southgate going with a back five with Trippier/Walker combo to try and stop Mbappe.
And France will.It's a real shame the two best performers so far meet this early, but to win this thing you have to beat the best.

They're beatable.
France are favourites but they're relying a lot on just having a good structure and letting Mbappe do his thing.And France will.

You think he won't start Henderson after last night?Maybe play Rice and Phillips too. Those 2 with Bellingham in midfield would be pretty good.
Indeed, he will start Henderson. I expect him to field an unchanged team.You think he won't start Henderson after last night?
I agree the more I think about it the more I think he will do just that for the rest of the tournament. I think he brought on the boys last night that he'll be looking to bring on from this point on. Rashford, Grealish and Mount if we need a goal and Dier and Philliops if he wants to solidify our position. I genuinely don't see anyone else coming into the side unless there are injuries now.Indeed, he will start Henderson. I expect him to field an unchanged team.
