France have looked good so far. Still, if you want to win then you need to beat the best.

A Kevin Ball special might stop him. For a few minutes!

Walker has pocketed him on several occasions in the Champs League to be fair

If it does, I’ll happily proclaim you a football genius for a whole year.
I don't think it will but a little belief never hurt anyone, I'm gonna watch and enjoy England in major tournaments under Gareth, reaching latter stages consistently is something I never thought would happen. Southgate made me fall back in love with the national side again, i'll forever support him for that.

Not convinced that France team is that good tbh. Brazil and Spain look like the other two top teams
France have Mbappe, however their defence can be got at with England in this mood.

Clinical display 2nd half after netting the opener.

Defence will face much sterner tests, but going forwards we can cause anyone problems.

Positives have been foden - rashford - and Wilson looks sharp.. still not been really tested at the back.. cant help think its the same england that beats tier c struggles with tier b and loses to tier A.

Ward in goal fir Wales is a calamity! Stepped out of the zone for which he was responsible for the first and through him for the third. No wonder Methusala Hennessy is still number 1.

Wales have been poor most of the tournament baring the 2nd half against USA when they played well.

One goal in 3 games, and that was a penalty shows where Wales are lacking presently.

Pathetic lack of ambition from them all tournament. Awful in every game.

Yes, they’re crap (compared to us), but that squad is definitely better than Iran and not far off USA on paper. Majority of its first eleven play in the Premier League or have done. Shocking.

95% better in the second half, can't knock them and you can only beat what's in front of you. Wales and Iran in this tournament instead of someone like Italy is nonsense

Eh? He was out through by Kane and should have scored.

He also had a volley which came off the upper part of his shin and a couple of passes/shots that were way off their intended target.

But he stuck at it and things improved second half. It does happen you know!

Rice:- constantly calls for the ball then immediately passes ball 5 metre backwards to defenders

Phillips:- gets/ wins the ball and immediately looks for the forward option.
Spot on. Rice has gone backwards a bit for me, in both senses of the word. Slows us down too.

Really good, professional performance tonight.

If we get past Senegal , and its a big IF.. mbappe and giroud will terrorise maguire and stones, so we will need to win the midfield battle to cut of supply. Given Southgates total lack of adventure a midfield of Henderson rice Bellingham & Phillips would not surprise me

Top notch performance and sailed through the group stages. Squad looks excellent with plenty of options and I reckon if we can not do anything stupid next round it could be a brilliant QF match up between us and either the French or the Germans.

Ive got to say it first Senegal are the worst World Cup team there's ever been so if we manage to beat them thats just Southgate getting lucky with the draw again :D

Yes absolutely, Foden and Rashford need to start every game. Sterling has been off it this season and just doesn’t offer enough anymore consistently in my opinion. Mount a tidy player but again, not creative enough.

Credit where credit is due today as we were much much better and deserved to win by more than 3.
Fair play to Southgate and let’s hope we can kick on against Senegal now.
Kane due a goal or three so hopefully he’s saved them for the knockout games.

England have coasted through the group as expected, however Senegal pose a danger although Mane is a big loss for them they still have guys who on their day can do damage, England at our best should have enough to beat them but it won't be an easy tie by any means.

Positives for me are the amount of players stepping up and bagging goals while Kane is having a slight drought, although he is still providing plenty for the side and assisting others.

2 successive clean sheers can't do the defence any harm, and all the subs are impacting games when called upon, plenty for Gareth to build upon now the KO stages await.
