Quarter-Final - England 1-2 France - Saturday 10th December, 2022

[N U F C]

This is such a massive game, can't wait for it.

I think it's a 50/50, a lot of the neutrals seem to be predicting us to win but I think it's the nature of this country and given what's happened in the past that we fear the worst.

[Machado]

England win here in some way or another. France are due a quarter final elimination.

[Bluebird Hewitt]

England win here and I think they'll go all the way.

Unpopular opinion. Argentina England would be a more spicy final than Argentina Portugal. 

Argentina England would be the spiciest final possibly ever.

Yeah I think. Brazil Argentina seems a bit overall friendly despite the rivalry. England Argentina will definitely have those moments.

I don't think the England players will feel any rivalry with any side to be honest. Not really any bad blood between England and any team from a football perspective.

[MUFC]

Any rain?

[Redcanuck]

No surprises in the England line up but I would have started Rashford instead of Saki.

[Waylander]

I would have started with Rashford rather than Saka.

Just feel Rashford's pace and strength would be better and of course his free-kicks. 

I think we will try and control the midfield and cut off supply to their forwards, easier said that done

After seeing the Euro final last year, there is plenty of bad blood towards England even if they don’t feel it

In 1986 

[6666]

That's an insane hit.

[Inverted]

Its so shite watching football in the UK. 

A young guy rifles in a fucking piledriver in a World Cup quarter-final and the only commentary you get is some guy on the edge of tears saying "looked like a foul on Saka".

[El Profesor]

As a team, as a unit, England seems to be stronger. But the individual talent France has is ridiculous. 

Really good game so far.

[Beelzebub]

It’s a foul but outside the box

[Spike]

That is a pen

[6666]

I feel like we're playing better overall. It was just a great shot that has given France the lead.

[Viva la FCB+]

There's no world that's a penalty. Freekick is leanient....

[6666]

Don't know if it was inside or outside but that was definitely a foul.

[El Profesor]

Upamecano is really struggling against Kane. This duel largely favors England so far.

It’s okay, because everything else is favouring France

[6666]

This referee isn't giving England a thing here.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bellingham’s been very poor tbh

[Inverted]

Is Saka planning to try and beat anyone or is he just going to keep getting done for strength and hope the ref takes pity at some point.

[Spike]

England look overwhelmed and out of ideas. I don’t really ‘get’ Southgate as a manager, his strength seems to be keeping team spirit high and avoiding typical drama and divaness
