Mr Popodopolous Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 A potential home nations clash, depending on one of them winning the playoffs. Looks a reasonable group though, quite straightfotward.

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Oh yes, E-H definitely looks harder. Although as well as France obviously, Argentina, Denmark, Holland and Poland can all pose challenges. Mexico too although they're a last 16 side mostly. Surely a side to name a few with Mendy, Koulibaly, Mane, Sarr shouldn't be taken lightly. Edited April 1, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Looking forward to the big lgbtq+ parade that England will be doing against Iran.... While playing in Qatar.... Get the rainbow armbands and flags out that game. Homosexuality is illegal and can carry the death penalty in both countries. I've boycotted the qualifiers and I'll be boycotting the tournament too. Even if we make the final. Won't watch it. Disgusting they're still going ahead but it shows that zero tolerance towards any forms of discrimination they've been spouting doesn't apply to them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 France can be got at defensively but that's tough! The World Cup holders and the Nations League holders (not much of a competition at times but they topped group with Portugal and Croatia winning in both, then beat Belgium and Spain). Not infallible though, definitely chinks in the armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
