Atleast Oxford's game vs Accrington will be on Saturday at 3pm.

England should have too much for Senegal.

England shouldn’t, and I’d wager won’t, have any trouble beating Senegal. The game after that will be the tricky one.

 

[Sarge]

Senegal were no mugs V Ecuador ( it was Ecuador wasnt it?) - If England play how they did 2nd half v Wales & V Iran - bar last 10 mins, ALL game, it should be an England win.... if England play like they did v USA , Senegal may edge it

 

[boogaloo]

It won't be an easy game. My prediction is 0-0 snooze-fest after 90 mins, with England winning it with a scrappy goal from Harry Maguire.

After seeing Maguire's shot last night i think the crowd on the side of the pitch are more in danger than the net. lol

hope Southgate gives this coolcat a start V Senegal ......

Can be little arguing with that. Hope Saka comes on at some point, he plays some incredible balls in at times

3-1 kane X2 rashford we stroll through into the next round

This will be no cakewalk. They are extremely fit and see this as their big moment.
Every one of their players are well aware of the riches that await if they can catch the eye of some European club and there are few bigger shop windows than England in the knockout stages.
We will need to click into gear early and stay there.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

I’d make one change. Alexander-Arnold in for Walker (who I’d save for the Mbappe test in the last 8 after his long term injury)

Pickford
TAA Stones Maguire Shaw
Henderson Rice Bellingham
Rashford Kane Foden

Errrr.....every member of the Senegal team that started the last match plays in the Premier League, Championship, La Liga, Serie A, Bundeliga or Ligue 1 already......
Seven of them have been transferred for north of 6.5m quid in their careers, and five of them for more than 20m.

A collection of unknowns like Cameroon 1990 these guys ain't. This is a well established group of top European-based pros.

England should have too much for them, because we have a much better front five, but it'll be tight; and if you offered me to trade our GK and two CBs for theirs, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

 

[chuckbert]

Would have been nice to be able to throw Musiala in there.

 

[PottersRightBoot]

African champions. Write off at peril.Take the handbrake off Southgate, Kane to break his duck, Maguire from corner.
Out in next round though.

[holdsteady]

No Rashford, bit harsh but you would expect him on early second half.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Uh oh , the Senegal fans have brought a drum. Or drums

 

[Northstandboy]

Our defence passing is awful!

Given it away so many times!

 

[unification]

I really don’t know what counts as a handball any more.

England were very lucky there.
