ThisI actually think we have the slightly stronger squad but they have the best player in the world. If we can keep Mbappe quiet then we have more than a chance.
Greizmann is the heartbeat of their side his linkup play is sublime hes clever an elusive and key to the way they playHe’s decent. No where near Messi and no where near as Messi been this tournament. Wouldn’t get in our side
AA couldnt mark a piece of wood hes as bad as we have defensively. An insane suggestionNeed to man mark him out of the game. If you frustrate him his head drops.
I’d sacrifice Rice for AA and tell him to not leave his side all match… pin him down totally

Don't allow the ball to be played to him when we have a high line. Don't give him space to run into. Out of possession, I have no doubt we will get behind the ball and try and force them out to their right and starve Mbappe of ball. If he does get the ball, it's pretty obvious you cannot let him come in on his right foot to curl one.A large part of Mbappe’s game is blistering/unplayable pace. How do you counteract that? I know his game isn’t just about that but if you take it away he’s not the same player.

Are you for real, Stones is better than them all, Varane is a bottler umamecano is a pound shop Maguire the others don’t start and their full backs are poor we will destroy France bookmark thisFrance have 4/5 CBs better than our starting CBs- varane, upamecano, konate, saliba, kounde. And of course the best footballer in the world in mbappe. However we can match them man for man all over the rest of the pitch.
Hoping it’ll be as simple as Walker man-marking Mbappe. Might have to double-team him.Kyle walker needs to have a great game. Hes the one who can stop mbappe with his pace and recovery.
I expect the same team with walker sat on mbappe
Southgate may go to 3 and leave walker to man mark him and bring in trippier but I don't see a reason to change the shape midfield battle is where we can win it.
