The guy's a cheatcode. If Senegal spoil our evening, at least I can look forward to Trippier showing his defensive quality that has him ahead of the greatest RB in the game :D

Someone needs to do to France [Mbappe] what Colombia [was it?] did to Brazil/Neymar in 2014.
Can't have these fuckers going back-to-back.
I just searched twitter to see if they agree with me, and safe to say they don't. Tens and tens of people with middle aged man names and/or profile pics, violently upset about her being on comms. It's such a fascinating phenomenon, like they think that just by having a woman in the box the BBC are personally insulting them and their entire way of life.Quote:

Yeah, I was going to speculate that Spain could be a tricky semi-final opponent for them if both get there, but then Spain's defence is a bit of a bombscare.
Mbappe is too good.
This is an absurd take even for you.Quote:

Doubt they set up like this against a decent side. Dembele or Griezmann will drop out for another midfielder if I had to guess.Quote:

Robert should retire after that. :D
It's getting retaken but that's a horseshit pen.
Even the second one would have been retaken if he missed. Or if it had been saved rather.
One of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen.
Who also won't press.Quote:

The only team that has pressed in this World Cup has been USA and that ended well.Quote:

Mbappe wankfest incoming.
The whole point, and a smart one at that is allow the opposition to advance by not pressing to maximise turtleboy's impact.Quote:

We should have brought Wan-Bissaka to counter him. Also should have brought Alessia Russo to distract the defenders from certain nations.
Which you'll get away with against Poland. A top team will kill them with the ball.Quote:

Indeed. I had one as Rashford playing.Quote:

Nice to see players (Mbappe and Giroud) who can actually strike a ball.
I hate the current penalty rules (or should I say enforcement) that have led to all this jumpy twattery. Just smash the ball into a corner.
I swear they banned the stutter penalty that Lewandowski done. Maybe I’m tripping.
Looks like Mount’s PR has finally dropped if Southgate is dropping him two games running.
They did, it’s just not enforced for whatever reason.Quote:

Per the Laws of the Game: "feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker ".
My understanding was you aren't allowed to stop during the run up, but provided you keep moving forwards you can do basically whatever you want. You can't fake kick or anything once you actually reach the ball.
9 World Cup goals and counting before he's even 24 is some going from Mbappe. If he makes it back to back World Cups Haaland will have a mountain to climb to eclipse him.
That's his own fault for not picking England.
Wonder what Sterling is up to.
This feels like the Ukraine game last year. Stupidly thinking they might shithouse their way to a 0-0 and penalties before England put 3 in by half time.
Ukraine were dead after their second round game, no?
Maybe. Think the non England fans were holding out hope that it being the only game away from Wembley would make a difference.
All hope lays on Mbappe on Saturday.
Van Dijk lolling at Gakpo to Man Utd rumours is what we like to see :rasta:
Mon Senegal.
Kneeling against homosexuality being illegal in Senegal. Worthy.
How comes they're allowed to white up? Take that knee back.
Whoever has burgled Sterling Towers has done us a favour.
I thought that only happened to the Liverpool contingent.
This is boring as shit
