What I di like about the England team is that we can now actually score goals. Putting it in the net has been an issue in previous days.

I was thinking France would thrash us, but looking at the stats, we have beaten them quite a few times. We met them only twice in the World Cup and beat them twice. Although of course that was way back in 66 and 82. In total we have beaten them 17 times and they have won 9 times and 5 draws.
December 8, 20223 yr Moderator @martin-w, very hard to call. England’s defence is our weak link despite 3 clean sheets in 4. Maguire concerns me. But offensively once you take Mbappe out I think we have more quality especially when you consider the bench is strong. I’ll stick my neck out and go 3-2 England in 120 mins. Ray (Cheshire, England).

I suggest we dose ourselves up on tranquillizers just in case.
