England v Senegal

[Wilf]

Had a quick glance at l'Equipe with my schoolboy French seems many think it's too close to call, fancy their first XI more but think we probably have the stronger bench.

Have a feeling Kyle Walker could be.... busy.

I haven't really seen that much of Sako; is he good at tracking back? Walker will need some support for sure.

France’s first XL is very impressive when you consider that they are without Karim Benzema,Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante.

40 v 11 isn’t really fair.

Probably the best team England have faced in a knockout since - Brazil 2002?

Germany in 2010 were damn good: Schweinsteiger, peak Ozil, Mueller, Klose, etc.

they really could do
but so could portugal, france, brazil and argentina
so long as england score one more goal than their opponents in their upcoming games they have a great chance

Since Spain are out I'm supporting Portugal. My second home.

We tried to do the same with Stefan Kuntz, but it didn’t seem to work so well.

This. And Holland. (And, less realistically, Croatia and Morrocco.)

That's the beauty of cup football!

But, from what I've seen so far, I'd put England as fourth favourite after Brazil, France, and Portugal respectively.
