    France would still be third on 4 points which will easily be enough.

    He was in my girlfriends restaurant having a meal with David Murray last week. Left her a £100 tip. Great guy, though she was a bit confused when the owner and his wife came from their house next door to get a photo with him.

    France are through whatever happens. Loser of Germany vs Hungary is basically guaranteed to go out, unless Portugal lose both remaining games by a considerable margin.

    Can not enough other 3rd placed teams finish on 4 points with a positive goal difference? I realise it's a long shot.

    They can but let’s not think like that please.

    2 Spain wins and a Belgium win should see all teams on 4 points go through

    He's offside but he doesn't interfere.

    Portugal would ruin England (history between the two, chocked full of Premier League players, the way they play) so hopefully they win the group, but then you would probably say the same of France even though they haven't looked all that so far. Operation second place still very much on, 0-0 inbound.

    You don't need to play strikers when Portugal's defenders do the job for you.

    I have and if you think this England team will knock out either France, Portugal or Germany in the next round then I can only assume that you have a fixed view that isn't at all swayed by how we play.

    I don't think they will, I just don't understand the viewpoint that it's out of the question. With home field advantage factored in it's probably about 60/40 either way. Are England worse than Hungary?

    I think we're in agreement then. They could knock one of those teams out, I just don't think they will. Which puts us some way from winning the tournament, which was the view I had before it started.

    Cancelo getting covid has absolutely fucked Portugal. Semedo is utterly useless in every single game he plays. Can’t even use his pace effectively.

    Germany wiping off Portugal’s GD here back to 0 or -1 would be handy

    Gosens clear man of the match but Havertz also with direct involvement in all 3 goals.

    Havertz will be one of the best sooner rather than later. He’s so good. Ruben Dias about to lose 4 games in the space of 3 months to him. Probably hasn’t lost that amount since joining Man City in every other game

    Ye he was amazing with Leverkusen. Haven't followed him much this season though.

    Edit: And now Portugal is in big big trouble. They have to take something against France.

    Only if he was on the left so Semedo would leave him wide open.

    Both defenses have been comically bad all game. I can't even think what'll happen if they meet an in-form Italy or Belgium.

    True but at least they showed some bite offensively. Current Belgium doesn't quite fit my "in form Belgium" description anyway. They've been proper good for just one half and even there they only got away with it because Braithwaite can't finish.

    But that means France would willingly give up first spot. And they are already through unless something extraordinary happens.

    Interesting how Lewandowski gets the "he's not getting service he's used to" treatment from the pundits but Kane gets slated.

    Sure he’s out Grant Hanley’s pocket now
