absolutely no way is Joe Gomez a horrible left back. He's been excellent in that position this season.

So why is he in the plane?
You have stronger forwards than France but you’re weaker everywhere else.
And we can still field Mbappé, Giroud and Griezmann.
I don’t know how England are still favourites to be honest.
Shaw? Doubt it but we’ll see. Hammy after 4 months out is a tough one to predict he’s only played 4 games in six months so he’s not gonna be 22/23 Shaw anyway
I think he’ll be fully fit for knock outs - that’s over 3 weeks away
Insider info....Ivan Toney. That and the bookies like to fleece Sun readers...
Combined 11 probably looks like this;
Pickford
Walker Stones Saliba Shaw
Bellingham Rice Foden
Saka Kane Mbappe
We have better midfielders too, cope and seethe.
Maignan over Pickford probably but yes, not far off!
Stones and Walker dead certs to start - you probably take Theo at LB especially with Shaws injuries.
Bellingham and Rice nailed on in midfield.
A bit like us with the forwards… you have the single best midfielder (Rice) but overall a weaker blend. Unless Griezmann counts as a midfielder…
Close with the keepers. The tournament experience of Pickford probably just shades it for me but admittedly not much in it.
A fit Shaw I would prefer over Hernandez - who I think was quite poor against England in the semi final, conceding a bad penalty, getting booked and having little answers for Saka.
Bellingham is a midfielder and will play in midfield. A combined midfield 3 would be Bellingham, Rice and Tchouameni. Griezmann would not start over La Liga’s player of the season at 10.
France have a better goalkeeper, better defensive mid, better left back, the best player out of both squads and better midfield depth. Much better defensive depth all across the line apart from RB.
England need no injuries and players who are injured to come back and be fit.
Probably take Theo at LB?
Haha I was thinking
SameOldSpurs
was an Inter fan leaving out Theo and Maignan who are comfortably ahead of Pickford and Shaw. Hilarious comment!!Foden is against Mbappé as used. Kane and Saka win. Bellingham against Grizou is a tie at best. Tchouameni definitely sits with Rice.
And that’s before we start with the depth where it becomes a little embarrassing for England.
Probably take Theo at LB?
Haha I was thinking
Foden is against Mbappé as used. Kane and Saka win. Bellingham against Grizou is a tie at best. Tchouameni definitely sits with Rice.
A tie at best lol, both Foden and Bellingham are better players in 2024 than Griezmann. Their respective league players of the seasons and stars at the two best teams on the planet.
I would take Theo, Maignan, Tchouameni, Saliba and Mbappe in to our eleven.
Good to see we’re judging players on one game. If it’s that game then Kane is a bit average. I’ll take Giroud over him
Fair bit of criticism against Maignan this season. The stats back it up, and he's untested in proper international tournaments?
