Kante has been fit so little recently the best he could ever have hoped for was the bench. Pogba seems to be closing in on a Dele Alli decline and wouldn't have made the squad for fear of him doing a Ronaldo. Benzema would be a loss to anyone but he's heading towards ancient. The other Hernandez had to do better than his bro', doing worse just wasn't on. Nkunku does look like a real loss, on the scale of a Reece James. Him for Dembele could be a game changer. Kimpembe has been struggling to keep Upmecano out of the team anyway, who shouldn't be judged on the England game. I don't think their record recently suggests any French XI would be much better than England at the moment.

Having watched Unai Simon keep goal for Spain I begin to see why Bounou was rated best keeper in Spain. De Gea or Raya would have been better bets. Unfortunately coaches are now selecting keepers on who can do a Cruyff turn, rather than who can catch.

Here's a question, has ANY Manchester City player had a decent World Cup?

A second question, have France looked good against anyone other than a bunch of red-faced Aussie triers yelling strewth mate?
