FIFA World Cup 2022 Group D ** spoilers ** (France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia)

[turbot1984]

Come on Denmark, this is good.

 

[Kelt]

You obviously weren't watching the pre game punditry.

We have nothing to fear from this France side.

We'll be lucky to scrape a draw against Wales.

 

[Shamikebab]

Another big side not taking their chances and being pegged back. Seems to be the theme this tournament.

 

[scarps]

France shoring up the defence

 

[manic111]

Hooking Varane for big Ibou when they need some solidity... Deschamps knows who the better defender is

 

[turbot1984]

Oooh Brathwaite, close!

 

[Shamikebab]

Dolberg already causing problems!

 

[manic111]

Denmark are ridiculously good given their population. A bit like Croatia a few years ago

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

And again.

If Southgate’s watching this you know he’s thinking Deschamps is wreckless for playing to win.

 

[JamesH85]

Mbappe showing up. What a player.

France are so far ahead of us.

 

[Shamikebab]

Great cross. Griezmann has been really good tonight apart from the chance he fluffed.

I thought Mbappe crotch shotted that in

 

[manic111]

He's quite good, isn't he. Shame it's wasted in Ligue 1. He should come to Liverpool for a challenge

 

[The_One]

mbappe will end up at madrid to replace benzema

 

[Shamikebab]

mbappe will end up at madrid to replace benzema

Well he doesn't want to play up front so that seems unlikely

 

[manic111]

Well he doesn't want to play up front so that seems unlikely

Think he will end up at Madrid though, sadly

 

[Shamikebab]

Think he will end up at Madrid though, sadly

I think so too, not sure how that will work with Vinicius Junior though unless Mbappe wants to play on the right.

He's said that he wants to play at 10. They'll get a fancier Giroud (Kane?) to hold the ball up and have Mbappe running off him

Edit: I think Kane is probably too old now, but somebody with that skillset

 

[Shamikebab]

France showed good character to come back and win that, for a while after the goal Denmark looked stronger.

Kanes only too old cause he'd cost a load of cash.

I dont think Firmino is a bad shout tbh. Yes he's just turned 31 but out of contract in the summer.

Yeah sorry, I mean that Kane is the wrong combo of age, expense, and not glamorous enough for Madrid to spend a boatload on. Agree that Bobby might end up there on a free
