FIFA World Cup 2022

It is possible they could. Team talk, tactics and substitutions will come into it. Also if France tire out. But honestly. France possibly got this one. 

Although Grealish could be interesting to come on.

[METALMAN]

I think England have better options off the bench that France. Could be interesting.

[Bobfoc]

I think both teams would look back on a defeat as a significant missed opportunity. It's a bit like when England had half an hour to get an equaliser against ten-man Brazil in 2002 and couldn't capitalise.

Keane - Keeper. Can he do better? Yeah, I think so.

Says that on every goal ever tbf.

I missed that game back then. 2002 was a bloody awful year. But I remember the result. Did not know it was down to ten man Brazil for half an hour though. 

Southgate will inspire them. Wonder what Robbie Williams song they are using? 

[Bobfoc]

Big moment coming up.

[TheGrandAvatar]

Well thank you again England. 

[Szumi]

Very smart play by Saka. You throw a leg out like that in the box, a good attacker like Saka will make sure to find it and draw the contact.

[Adam]

That's how you take a penalty.

[Bobfoc]

I was certain he would miss that. The long wait and the ball adjustment made it seem as though he was quaking. Still, I'm glad to be wrong. He's now levelled Rooney's scoring record.

Tchouameni taketh and giveth away

[TheGrandAvatar]

Couldn't watch that Penalty. Glad he reset himself to be calm to take. 

Then you get two France close calls after. 

[Bobfoc]

It's a battle between two unconvincing defences. This could go down to which one makes the most mistakes.

[Captain Kirk]

Need another card, 5 corners and a MaGuire foul for £300.

[TheGrandAvatar]

Can we substitute the referee? 

[Colly]

What's Saka done to upset this ref?

That would end up being one of those monkey paw wishes that ends up with the referee from the Netherlands/Argentina match stepping in.

Was shocked he gave the penalty. He's been missing fouls on Saka all game long.

[Bobfoc]

Saka just got a free kick. How strange.

[TheGrandAvatar]

Smart. Tire out France now and then bring Grealish on.
