I believe in Argentina. They have already had their inevitable bad match at a point where they could afford it. However, Brazil has a red carpet rolled out for them to the semifinals. They should eat South Korea for breakfast and difficult to believe that the winner of Japan-Croatia is going to give them trouble. Difficult to argue with any of that.
Have they still got a player skilled enough to knock it in the net with his hand though?

Yep Maybe the age of Argentina's squad will be an issue once they meet a quality side again.

Did anyone see what Frankie Boyle said about Harry Kane this week?

WTF Kane starts but no Rashford? Does Southgate not want to win?

Looked a bit scary fow a while. I was going to moan about uncreative slow passing at one point. Can't even moan about Kane now. I'm having a bad night.

We still haven't had a real test. I wish we'd played Poland really. Still, can't complain. Quarter finals with no dramas. 12 goals in 4 games with only 2 let in. Bring on the old foe. Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo. We gave your boys a hell of a beating. LOL

If England can find a way to keep Mwappe quiet a semi-final slot is their's for the taking. I don't Kyle Walker is the answer he's too fond of going walkabouts.

Thomas should be happy the big boys have made it to the next round: England, Argentina, Netherlands and France.

Slow, predictable along with sideways passes. Then England score and it gives them confidence to up the tempo and be more positive. Shame it takes a goal for them to do this.
Up next the frogs. Would be nice to send the arrogant arses packing but I cannot see our defence stopping Mbappe & co.
