Wow, the amount of Frenchmen at this World Cup is insane.
Imagine if England had all those English-born players available too. What a side that would be:
Rice - Bellingham
Olise - Kane - Semenyo
Haaland.
Unfortunately still the same defence and keeper.

He wouldn't be ahead of Semenyo or Kane so he's on the bench. Unless he can play left back?

Apologies to disturb some laughable nonsense and will get back to it being about the World Cup
World Cup 2026: Lionel Messi to represent Argentina at sixth tournament
Lionel Messi will play in a sixth World Cup as he captains holders Argentina at the 2026 tournament.www.bbc.co.uk
Think they will have to rely on Alvarez to step up this World Cup - think it’s one too far for Messi
You're forgetting all the dodgy pens Argentina will get. Not sure they'll beat 5 in 7 games from Qatar but I would go for at least 3. Messi will do alright.

Was the Austrians and the Germans played knowing a draw put them both through?
Neither team left their own half and it finished 0-0

pretty much....a 1-0 or 2-0 win for Germany would have seen both them and Austria through. Germany took an early lead and then neither team even tried to attack.
I think its time for Algerian revenge and watching them tonight against the Netherlands they have a fast crisp tidy way of playing and I reckon Austria could be beaten by them.

His highlight in the first half was the high 5 he gave Kane when Kane scores. Only time I saw him anyway

No no no, he ran up and said something inspirational to Mainoo just before kick off

Must admit that i struggled to stay awake in that first half....but to be fair I've been "out out" since lunchtime today.

It’s one step up from a training session.
Can’t take anything from this.
