They actually look much better than I thought they would. They dominate possession well.

Portugal will be our opponent I reckon , they will take something from Germany
They lack a proper number 9

I don’t agree-France are perfectly happy sitting back & letting Germany have the ball. Germany can’t do anything with it.

Take whoever we're given and back ourselves at Wembley. Let's just beat the Scots on Friday.

You can see though, that with Mbappe up front, if your defence pushes up anywhere near the halfway line, they'll destroy you when they break.

Anything to keep them quiet. Will hate it if they get a point or worse, won't hear the end of it.

I would love to see Grealish and Foden playing in between those French lines.
Hopefully not until later in the tournament though.

Germans would be lucky to have players the quality of Godden and Walker up front

I weren't that impressed with them .
Playing a side with no natural striker on the pitch, who were toothless in the final third.
England not comparible to this Germany, we have a goalscorer .
Plus we have more threats from set pieces
And Walker will keep up with mbappe no problem

also with kante they can afford to let the opposition have the ball all the time- with him running around like a madman shutting everyone down you end up resorting to hopeful long balls & shots from distance.
and when they do get it back they release Mbappe and within 5 seconds you lose a goal- they have it all.
Luckily I reckon the way to beat them is actually something we’re good at- set pieces, in their faces, pace, intensity. Try and outplay this lot & pass our way through them and we’d get hammered.

they looked average because France made them look average. Gnabry is world class, and he was totally shut out of the game.

Well maybe you’re right- he’s very good though.
France didn’t even get out of third gear tonight, I don’t think they were even tested.

How high is the bar for World class if Gnabry isn't?

Who in England's squad is world class in your opinion?

i think Italy are the only ones who could come up with a gameplan, but France would nullify it, and nobody has an Mbappe to unleash like France do

Gnabry is genuinely less effective than raheem sterling , he's had 1 exceptional season in his career so far .
Sterling statistically, from a similar position...is far better .
Check it and Sterling is only 1 year older

Kane’s record is world class, but he needs to find form fast
