I'd expect, from both sides, to see players who've got very few minutes this WC to play. Its the game none of the players want or need

If tosspots like Southgate and that scurrilous little cunt Khan can have one............................I am expecting France to win by a couple. I hope I am wrong.

Other than the best placed finish since 1966, what do we have to play for - the medal?On the other hand, I reckon Mbappe and his supporting cast really want the Golden Boot.

I agree that the 3rd place game shouldn't exist but so long as it does I'd expect both sides to put some effort in. Especially England given the manner of their loss in the semis.
July 18Jul 18 I'm not sure France's efforts were any better in their semi. Maybe worse as they didn't really lay too much on Spain.We did on the island thieves, but decided to let go afterwards.

Just have a hunch that Argentinian shithousery might make a difference.
July 18Jul 18 Tuchel hovering between 2 bad defeats in 2 games, and "best England manager since 1966/best ever performance in the history of English football on foreign soil", to be determined by a match with about as much standing and seriousness as a BSM group stage match v Blackburn U21s. The whole charade is bizarre and deserves to be ignored win lose or draw. If we lose I won't be including it in any assessment of his tenure and the same if we lose heavily, because the players should be at home with their families by now.

Players who helped get the win will be questioned (obviously not by you! 😂) as to why they didn’t play more. Any loss and the criticism (again not from you) will all start again/carry on.We’re in for a good night aren’t we - how’s the darts going on…
