Paredes off seems weird, he was fantastic in midfield! can’t help but think Argentina might go on the back foot now

Aye definite pen. Give it a rest

Probably because he got beaten the 2-3 times he got a clear run at him and set up opportunities. Despite that, if you consider that James, Trippier or TAA had been playing, he'd have been 5 yards ahead of them, as opposed to 1 yard Him and Dembele were managed so well though, midfield and wingers were all over them. Saka going off for Sterling was awful. I'm sure you've been frustrated by this before at City, but there was a point in the last minute where he could have played a pass into the box but he took a touch and passed it back. You say France have been rubbish, but internationals aren't as finely tuned as club games. Sounds bitter af.

He's done so well if you also consider that he seems to always have negative credit in the bank. His face and public persona don't fit a superstar manager, nor does he have a successful club management portfolio so I always think people are looking for reasons to get rid as soon as he doesn't exceed expectations. I don't know how well he'd do at club level now. However, he's shown he can set up a team really well at an international level and I think this team is better than the team which got to the semi's in 2018. All Southgate can do is get his team playing well and dominating a game, it's up to the players to convert and not concede 30 yarders. France have the best team, it's hardly a major upset. On most days, England win that game.

This, i've watched about 12-15 games or so, but otherwise I'd have had them all on. Easily. I love world cups

51 goals, 26 assists in 2018 and he came 5th in the Ballon D'or

I've ended up watching almost all the France, Argentina and England games on my stick. A couple of other big nations games, so all in all, i've not stuck to my word at all.

Out of order IMO Kidding Either, to be honest. As a Frenchman, I was happy to see him on the bench. He doesn't need the full pitch to accelerate past Kounde. Either way, Foden is a phenomenal player, but Rashford should have been in that position before the 85th minute.

Funny to think that there's a really good chance that Mbappe heads to his next world cup in 4 years, as a 27 year old, with 100% World Cup win rate Anyway, I voted France. The best team left in. I'm French too, so very happy if that happens. A nice consolation would be Messi's Argentina winning. What a team of fighters, and he's the absolute nuts.

They’ve both been really good. Rashford was the most logical choice against Kounde though. By a distance.

Walker was alright, it was certainly amazing to see him being beaten for pace. Mbappe seemed comfortable to run at him though whenever Henderson or Saka wasn't around, which was very rarely. I'm not sure why Foden started instead of Rashford, to be fair. We knew that Kounde sucks against direct, pacey players. Rashford would have torn him a new one.

Bruno Fernandes had been up there with Messi and Mbappe until yesterday. But yeah, it's between those 2 now.

Happy with quarters, didn't even realise I had to put an 11 out for the first 7/8 picks, I just thought it was some twist on fantasy football.

Sorry mate, just saw this. Considering the expectation, they'd restricted France to one long shot whereas England had a blatant pen and Kane through on goal by this point. Decent going, if a bit conservative! Anyway, that was then. Very unlucky I think, players can hold their heads high.

Thank goodness for that. Kane had Upamecano in his pocket. Him and Henderson were really driving England forward. Credit where it's due, England were very dominant tonight. As a team, they really kept Dembele and Mbappe limited to sporadic possesion

Yeeeees allez les bleus

Why tf is Upamecano playing, Saliba or Konate are far better

England playing fantastic, France attackers can't get the ball...Goal aside, Southgate has got his game plan spot on

That was superb

My goodness Antony looks sharp. He needs to get the ball closer to the goal, although Croatia's midfield are doing a wonderful job.

White always strikes me as having a great attitude, there's definitely a lot of missing info

Can't help but think he'd have had atleast a couple against Switzerland. I think there's a good chance he'll start the next game.

I rate Shaw when he's fit, I don't see much difference. The real worry is that if he comes up against McGuire at any point.

Seen a lot of unhappy Argentina fans about Lahoz getting their game
