Never change the winning formula, Japan is now doomed. All chips on Croatia to advance (after the first OT of the tournament I feel)

And it's funny to see but Maguire is like england best player this World Cup lol, although he has yet to play a side with some quality players up front (Just USA with Pulisic)

Maguire vs. Mbappe has the potential to become a traumatic experience for England though.


If that's the duel then England dies. If it's more of a Kyle walker faces mbappe and Maguire duels with giroud to deal with mbappe's crosses, England has a fair shot.

First team to score is obviously huge in general, but I think it'll be particularly important here.

Yeah, I also expect Walker to have to deal with him. The question is how consistent that can be done throughout the game.


England has enough pacy defenders to track and mark Mbappe. The real challenge, I feel, is neutralising the intelligent plays of Griezmann and Giroud, or adapt to Mbappe switching to a more central role (like against Poland). As always, the battle will be won or lost in the middle of the park. Henderson and Rice have got to be on top form.

France could not care less about the middle of the park, it's all about both ends of the pitch.

Oh yes, I forgot France and England are the world's best practitioners of long-ball football and don't give a shit about midfield control...

Pulisic is yet another example of an over-hyped talent. The new 'Landon Donovan'.

It's amazing how fast and far Sancho has fallen. His name totally slipped my mind until now. Just goes to show how transient and fragile the careers of young stars can be.

But don't get me wrong. I'm really supportive of the Bellinghams of the world and hope for their success. Just frustrated how all the hype often messes up with their minds. Give these kids time and space to grow. There's really no need to proclaim any of them as the next Messi or Zidane.

Excuse me, "over-hyped talent?" I'll have you know that he's the LeBron James of soccer and has been compared to Messi and Ronaldo

As he said, overhyped, lol.

Also, you could compare me to Messi too. It wouldn't be a particularly useful comparison, but you *could* do it.

He might have been the next goat but he took the fastest possible route to a ruined, unfulfilled career and signed for Chelsea

Oh yeah, I don't actually believe that about Pulisic, I just found it extremely funny that the main guy from the US show Pawn Stars described Pulisic like that lmao

You could compare me to Ronaldo, the previous one. I have a gut too.
