I'd say Belgium were up for it far more and England were totally deflated. Belgium much the better side though. But, the main thing: one last excuse to go on the piss.

ParisInAKilt Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Would you say Mbappé was world class? I’m taking a slagging from my mates because I think he’s too young to be definied as world class yet, although he’s best player I’ve seen at that age for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited July 15, 2018 by DoonTheSlope The fact I backed him as my player of the tournament hasn’t clouded my judgement whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he'll end up there, but at the moment he's more in the highly gifted, up & coming category (which I just made up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 He might not be in the top ten of the falling down category yet but I'm sure it's an aspect of his game that he is working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right but I was thinking of performances in an England shirt. Scholes did not have many of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon les blues Took France as my big pick before the start too but after Croatia beat Argentina I started backing them each way so hoping for a France win to make up for my disastrous gambling season If I wasn’t a gambler then I’d be wanting Croatia. Loved the place whenever I’ve beem there and liked the Croatian team since Euro 2008 They have some of the best ball players in the world, fatigue shouldn’t be an issue im 90minutes as the occasion will pull them through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 First real French chance and they lead. It'll be interesting to see how Croatia respond, after they've been the better team in the first twenty minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
