      Quite like the idea of Trippier and Walker. That will push Mbappe inside.

        What a goal that was by Brazil.

          I’m team Adlab with the discussion on formations/set up versus France. I recognize the possible reasons as to why the idea of a back 5 has been thought of. That would be though typical of Southgate to be more defensive and cautious.

          It’s not something I would go with. Instead, approach the game with courage and be bold.

          Our previous generation teams before the late 00s at the very least played with spirit and heart. We need that more than something that’s monotonous and reliant on just one particular area of the field to pluck out some magic or a slice of luck. The onus is on us to ‘make it happen’!!!!

            Haha, Keane is just a typical grumpy old man and a killjoy. Why shouldn’t the Brazilian players have a dance? It brings out the fun and a ‘holiday on the beach’ feel to the tournament. It’s winter.

            Most of us live typical mundane lives being filled with pessimism from the British Media and the constant worry on the cost of living. This world cup has admittedly grew with more interest and excitement. We’re growing into those latter crucial stages, then soon it will be over. Keano my friend: Lighten Up!!!!!

              That first 45 minutes from Brazil was something else.

                I can’t see Southgate changing the system and I expect the team selected to be the same/broadly the same.

                Obviously Mbappe is a significant threat but England have threats of their own too.

                  Question!
                  Of the lesser known players on view so far who would you like to sign for your club….not Mbappe etc but ones we aren’t that familiar with.

                    Thought that Robinson lad (US, FB but can’t remember which side) was pretty decent, seemed to have a “brain” on him and ran his socks off everytime I saw him…

                      Okay, not many saw that one coming… defended stoutly and won the lottery!!

                        I had Spain down to win it and after that Costa Rica game, I thought they would. Big surprise, though they weren’t great since that first game, in fairness.

                          Ronaldo and Cancelo dropped. Dalot coming in for Cancelo. This Portugal manager has some balls, that’s for sure.

                            Absolute belter by Ramos.

                                This tournament keeps on surprising us. I honestly never came across Ramos.

                                  Looking like a great call Mikus. Also, I now have my answer to Adlab’s question above…

                                          Ronaldo making some of the same mistakes he made at United. It will make most Clubs steer well clear.

                                            The more I think about it, the more I reckon if we’re going to go 3 at the back and wingbacks to counter M’Bappe, we’d be better off with Walker at RWB and a back three of Stones, Dier, Maguire…

                                            Having Trippier as RWB and Walker at the back won’t work, Trippier’s legs have gone, M’Bappe will skin him alive and Trippier will be in Yellow Card/Red Card territory before half-time… be better with Walker (and a lot of lectures about not diving in…)
