Don’t think we have anyone on the boards who supports the French, and that’s possibly for the best, as it is almost 100% certain that Spain will win this. They have been the most convincing team in the tournament so far, and look unbeatable.
The form guide has Spain winning 5 in a row, where France have been spluttering, with or without Mbappé. Spain are also ahead in the head-to-head, 16 wins versus 13 wins for France.
Not trying to horn in on El Prof’s antibants racket but the injuries and suspensions (quick reminder of how funny it was that the referee added about 4 more minutes to the quarter final so he could send off Dani Carvajal) do seem to be piling up for Spain. Really hope they deny us the France v England misery final that we appear destined for but Old Man Navas lining up against Dembele or someone doesn’t fill me with confidence.
Everyone talks about France not scoring from open play but they’ve only conceded one goal, and that was a penalty that shouldn’t have been retaken.
As ever, they’ve been way more boring than they have any right to be but don’t think they’ve been terrible aside from their finishing. Mbappe it’s easy to imagine that switching suddenly.
Still be crap if/when they beat this Spain team, though. Zzzzz.
I’m supporting France by virtue of having them in the work sweepstake. I’d rather they go out tonight as I couldn’t stand the potential double whammy of England winning the final and losing my winnings.
