Is varane fully fit? He was in tears going off a few weeks ago
Bellingham vs Tchouameni is the key battle. If Bellingham is able to drive at that back four it creates all sorts of havoc and Foden/Saka are able to pick passes when there are gaps. Foden with his couple of assists benefited from game breaks on the counter
I think france will be very pragmatic and might concede midfield ansd defend with 7 and 8, england won’t be drawn on though. The first 20/25 minutes will be septic I’d say.
There’s a whiff of pens off tonight

The RTE panels have been wholly underwhelming over the tournament. Bland is being kind to them. They really need Joey Ndo back. Joey, Brady and Kenny has a bit of potential if they tried it.
