Expand think the thing is with suarez is you'd always have to have in the back of your mind that once you started lamping him it would be very, very difficult to stop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubicon 2 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 On 02/12/2022 at 09:19, Craig said: All academic for me because I don't see England beating France. I know J69 made comment about Tunisia beating the French but let's face it, it was FAR from their strongest line up. The thought of Mbappe going against ANY of our RBs (including Tripps) and Dembele against Shaw is terrifying. The final has echoes of France '98 all over it for me. Expand Argentina 2002, Germany 2021 - those are the only two games where England have beaten a 'bigger side' in my lifetime. Germany may be out, but Musiala would destroy Henderson/Rice on the day. Even that journeyman Fullkrug would bully Maguire. Said before, but there are about 12 teams I wouldn't bet England to beat in a knockout stage - fortunately, Senegal aren't one of them. Wouldn't read anything into France losing to Tunisia, but yeah thought of a player like Mbappe playing against England is worrying. You'd be confident that Walker/Trippier would be able to match Mbappe at club level - in CL for City/Athleti for example, but for England it's worrying.

Rubicon 2 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Uruguay are like peak Simeone Atletico Madrid. Total shithouses at every opportunity, but can actually play football!
