    France can be slow starters, possible shock here?

    Can't see France going out at this stage - Australia and Tunisia are both weak sides.

    France and Aussieland should be interesting. Australia has one great starting goalkeeper. too bad Paul Pogba was hurt, he wouldve been a great addition!

    Maybe but I don't think so.
    Prediction: France, Denmark, Tunisia, Australia

    All i hope is we can get a win as its been to long now since our last one (2010). Sucks we got 2 of the same teams from 2018 also. Cant see us surprising France or Denmark, so my only hope is to get a result against Tunisia. We have arguably the worst squad at the WC so not going in with much hope (please no 2010 Germany thrashings). Shocking call by our coach as well to leave out our current best and most in form keeper from the squad, considering how many shots we will face this tournament.

    Tipping the Danes will top this group.

    A disgrace, but no one is surely in the slightest bit surprised.

    Expect far more shit before this thing comes to an end.

    Not exactly doing themselves any favours.

    The organisers seem like very intelligent, manipulative people so I bet they're fuming. They want to be painted as all-inclusive angels but Mohammed on security has already ruined it. He'll be dead by Sunday.

    Bad one but like Paggers said not surprising.

    About the football can't see past ourselves & Denmark to progress but not necessarily in that order. Surely enough our game will be as boring as the last time we met at a World Cup in Moscow (officially the most boring game of WC history) and I sincerely doubt we'll breeze through the kangaroos (struggled enough in Kazan 4 years ago) so Tunisia should receive our "wrath" in the final game. This should be good actually as most IT guys at my company are Tunisians and the game is a 4 o'clock kick-off CET. Bantz and all that.

    The most boring game in World Cup history is England v Algeria in 2010. 0-0 draw and it was the most rotten match you'll ever see.

    Sadly for you and France he is .

    2 key strikers lost now.

    More pressure on Mbappe.

    And they've still got the best starting 11 in the tournament.

    Not convinced on France this time round. Key players missing and they don't seem to have a great team spirit - they should get through this group along with Denmark but have a feeling this could be a closer group than people expect.

    I just look at their squad and it's still ridiculous. They also have that winning experience.

    Everyone's talking about Argentina and Brazil but my money would be on France going under the radar and doing what they usually do.

    The squad is still full of talent, dont get me wrong. They are unpredicatble, do you get the World Cup winners or the disaster from the Euro's.
