It was a similar story against Iran too. Vs USA we were poor. Vs Wales we were average first half even though we were still the better team by far. If we start slow against France then we will lose, but I actually don’t think France are much stronger than us on paper
problem is, france's defence is pretty fucking solid. i agree that you're not massive underdogs though. i'd say it's about 60/40 or at most 65/35 in france's favour. intriguing match-up for sure though.
btw, bellingham has proven to be the beast for england that he is for dortmund as well - will be interesting to see who will pick him up, liverpool or city. if i were a manager, i'd do everything possible to sign the guy. real quality...
