I actually thought it was Griezmann pulling a lot of the strings today. Mbappe was actually quite wasteful at times but his pace is unplayable.
But yeah I don't see France having any issues with most teams, the talent and pace will take over as the match wears on.
England IMO is actually a good match for them. On current form I'm taking Rice+Bellingham over Rabiot+Tchouameni. And Kane over Giroux.
They have Trippier/Walker/Shaw who have some pace at the back (I'd like it better with a healthy James)
Saha and Sterling aren't as good as Mbappe and Dembele (nobody are), but they have a ton of pace as well.
As GirlySports said that would be an amazing and super intriguing Quarter Final match up as both teams are ultra talented.
Really France, England, Brazil, and probably Spain are clearly the 4 favouites this year IMO. Argentina as 2nd betting favourites was always rated to high to me.
