France knows a thing about water carriers...theirs has 2 WCs...I imagine they won't want to hear from you until you get 1.Yeah I mean the guys who are his water carrier bitch boys while he’s the star of the show and idolised mate .. we have Rice who can do that, he’s just better at everything else.
But he's WC for England, right? Stones is a ball player not a lockdown defender. Konate wins here.Maguire isn’t rated. But he’s still better than most of their shite centre backs. Konate is good that’s fucking it. And he’s nowhere near Stones levels.
How'd that work out for you last time?Mbappe and Griez are their two genuine top attackers. We have Kane, Foden, Saka with a bunch of genuine depth + Bellingham who gets more g/a than their midfield put together

Settle down. Just giving my own opinionUnless you can point to some specific distortion of the still shot vs some other reality then this is not an argument against my point..in fact, it is an admission that it looks fucking bad and very disruptive to any argument to the contrary.
Not even close...Let's go man for man if you will...There's not a position at which you have an demonstrable edge.
So your attack and their defense is not as strong and weak (respectively) as you are making out then?We uh .. bossed the game but missed a penalty. Shit happens Todd.
tell me about the tournament before that!Tournament before the French went out to Switzerland.
They were tired of winning...they've got the hunger back now.France have more talent than Argentina but lost the final, so what?
In farmer's leagues?Since then our talent has only shone brighter, theirs has not.
Settle down...all I've just done is challenged your opinion with well-reasoned points and thought-terminating canned 'analysis' from tv.Settle down. Just giving my own opinion
Someone do a wellness check on Deuterz ...not sure he's gonna be safe alone tonight.I think France have a better squad overall.
Good points...not sure Giroud is going to be the starter...betting on Thuram but he will be playing the same role but with significantly more athleticism (but with potentially less cunning). And with this setup not sure Kane over Mbappe is the move, right? Now, if you had Kane setting up Mbappe playing the Sonny role then you'd be on to something.But I'd take Kane, Bellingham, Saka and Foden over Giroud, Mbappe, Griezmann and Coman. Kane is a level above Giroud (or any of their other strikers) and Griezmann, although still quality, is 33 this month. Three of England's front four are still 5 or 6 years away from what should be their peaks.
Sounds reasonable...England are definitely proper contenders (deuterz will wipe from his mind that I've said this)But the French are still the team to beat though. After them you have Spain, Portugal and England. Under that lot, the likes of Belgium, Croatia, Netherlands, Germany etc.

It's not improving at all and likely never will. All it does is slow the game down without any benefit.
There's no point in keeping it.
tbf he isn't there for his end product but more for his ability to get the ball to the final third which he does pretty well.
Yeah but I'd rather have no VAR even with increased human error if they aren't going to get it right nearly 100% of the time. It just slows the game down and makes those decisions more annoying than if a referee just got it wrong.Statistically; the amount of incorrect decisions overturned debunks this assertion.
Agreed, those type of players are good but need to be complemented with other players who can provide the output to go with it.Without Salah picking up the goal-scoring slack they're gonna get tired of him & Gackpo pretty fast (especially with Nunez being less that clinical for a CF too).
Hits the Post. The universe is willing Woolwich to win.
Yep, that's Woolwich and City both out of the way for them now.
I look at their fixtures and I can't actually see anywhere they drop points. Perhaps Villa away if Villa are really on it and still fighting for top four but that's the penultimate game of the season. Their issue is how many fixtures they have, still in Europa League, FA Cup etc.
Woolwich got City away next, us away and tbh games like Wolves away can be tricky for them.
Citys toughest game outside of Woolwich at home is probably us away and even then, outside of that, I can't see them dropping any points. Again though, lots of fixtures.
Funny game though football.
We should beat Woolwich and play the U21s v City and the dippers.
It should have been a penalty. Those saying otherwise would be screaming bloody murder if it had happened to us.
