France v Poland

[Centralscrutinizer]

Off we go again. All the posh seats empty at the start of the second half.
Come on Poland.

Demble is having a stinker

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

If you can't save it feign injury

 

[Doom_On_Horseback]

Benzema, Kante & Pogba would all start for France are missing and they’re still favourites for the WC. Wasn’t there a full back who got injured when they arrived in Qatar too?

They have great strength in depth.

C’est fini

After some great games/results in the group stages, I've found these 3 knockout games ridiculously dull.

 

[Diego]

Unreal player

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

You don't want to be leaving Mbappe unmarked

They talk about giroud being underated but griezmann is a fabulous player linking midfield to attack with a fantastic work rate

Me too. No real dramas. No worries though we've got England later

 

[Oooo]

IF we get through not sure we can beat France...

 

[TeaCider]

I've actually been quite encouraged by this match.

If England can get past Senegal, I think we'd be able to beat this French side.

They've not looked amazing.

Why? France haven't been great, Poland have give the ball away for most of their chances and if they had a better final ball could've had a couple themselves.

True but they have that man Mbappe. Who scares the life out of me. Walker is someone who could cope with him if he’s at his best. Be an interesting battle, let’s beat Senegal first!

 

[Teesste]

I’ve not seen anything in this WC that has made me think they’re head and shoulders above England on their day.

As is always the case we need a bit of luck and a strong performance and I’d fancy us against anyone.

 

[TheBoroBuzzard]

Wonder if Matty Cash does us a favour and crocks Mbappe in the last few minutes

I agree France are everything we hate.

Patient build up with pace and and attacking edge.

 

[Priv]

France look very vulnerable though.

Especially with Lloris in goal!

He was always prone to a clanger but made up for them with the rest of his play, however the last couple of years hes dropped off significantly, hes almost a liability these days.

Hahaha imagine

Wow
