They actually look much better than I thought they would. They dominate possession well.

They lack a proper number 9

I don’t agree-France are perfectly happy sitting back & letting Germany have the ball. Germany can’t do anything with it.

I'm amazed these referee's will pull players up.

I love it, but surely open to being sued/punished?

Take whoever we're given and back ourselves at Wembley. Let's just beat the Scots on Friday.

You can see though, that with Mbappe up front, if your defence pushes up anywhere near the halfway line, they'll destroy you when they break.

Anything to keep them quiet. Will hate it if they get a point or worse, won't hear the end of it.

I would love to see Grealish and Foden playing in between those French lines.

Hopefully not until later in the tournament though.

Germans would be lucky to have players the quality of Godden and Walker up front

Not a chance Southgate uses Grealish against a side like France

Unfortunately

I weren't that impressed with them .

Playing a side with no natural striker on the pitch, who were toothless in the final third.

England not comparible to this Germany, we have a goalscorer .
Plus we have more threats from set pieces

And Walker will keep up with mbappe no problem

France look good but Germany look very average. Will happily play them, but suspect Portugal will take second. Wouldn't surprise me if Portugal topped the group to be honest.

also with kante they can afford to let the opposition have the ball all the time- with him running around like a madman shutting everyone down you end up resorting to hopeful long balls & shots from distance.

and when they do get it back they release Mbappe and within 5 seconds you lose a goal- they have it all.

Luckily I reckon the way to beat them is actually something we’re good at- set pieces, in their faces, pace, intensity. Try and outplay this lot & pass our way through them and we’d get hammered.

they looked average because France made them look average. Gnabry is world class, and he was totally shut out of the game.

Well maybe you’re right- he’s very good though.

France didn’t even get out of third gear tonight, I don’t think they were even tested.

True , they are definitely better than England at the back too , I just feel that our forwards would cause them more problems than the Germans.
Honestly do Germany not have any natural strikers anymore?

Honestly haven't seen any other team who I think would do any better than Germany just did against France. That French team is absolutely stacked with class.

How high is the bar for World class if Gnabry isn't?

i think Italy are the only ones who could come up with a gameplan, but France would nullify it, and nobody has an Mbappe to unleash like France do

Mbappe is like an Olympic sprinter, its genuinely ridiculous. Like using a cheat code.

Gnabry is genuinely less effective than raheem sterling , he's had 1 exceptional season in his career so far .

Sterling statistically, from a similar position...is far better .

Check it and Sterling is only 1 year older

Kane’s record is world class, but he needs to find form fast
