What a set piece from the Dutch. Indeed, that was very brave and very well executed by them. Dammit!

So, it's England v the frogs today.
I bet we set-up to cede territory and possession and try and exploit them on the counter. I'd like to be wrong and show the French a more front-foot approach and take the game to them. They can be got at and collectively aren't
as great as many have made out. There have been much better French sides in recent memory; this side don't possess that same all round quality. Giroud is dangerous as much as the MSM concern themselves with the undoubted quality of Mbappe.
Our midfield need to be at the top of their game with Bellingham they key driving the team forward and linking play to attack centrally, as we can often look void of creativity in the way of opening teams up. A bit like the Dutch against the Argies.
If we go out today, go out fighting and attacking the frogs.

I don't think he'll be given that much time on the ball in the box today. Cry 'God for Harry (Kane), England, and Saint George!'

"The English are people of the most superhuman tenacity. They never admit defeat. And they always end up not being" Even if we lose today, we've still won! Long live England.

The England side, like many other sides, have what I call the Billy Wright syndrome, to much holding the ball behind the centre line, it's like watching a game of chess.

But then we'd have to leave out one of Rice, Henderson, Saka or Foden (Bellingham and Kane surely being 'must starts') Not an easy choice but I'm sure we pay Southgate enough to think it through wisely. There are no perfect solutions and as ever 'the plan' will be the first casualty of contact with the enemy.

I include sterling in the play at some stage .very creative when moving forward .
Include Folden and Rashford in starting 11.
Im sure kyle walker can hold of mbappe. He proven himself in the England shirt and the English premiership Hope its a good match .
