Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Chip Butty 111]

The final has a lot to live up to.

...after the Lord Mayor's Show sadly...

Goals        4        6
Shots       19      19
On Target   9      11
xG            2.8    2.89

Although our penalty added lots to our xG, just a good job France couldn't score from around the penalty spot.

Rogers was shit.

He didn't do a lot. He outmuscled Digne a couple of times near the end, but can't remember him doing much else.

,,you've given France a free goal...

[Somniloquism]

Thought they deserved it.

[PeterWithesShin]

Nearly as good as the 6-4 v Blackburn.

[Flamingo Lane]

Great goal by Bellingham, but without Watkins it doesn't happen.

[Meanwood Villa]

Make all games pointless and watch the goals fly in

So in his first World Cup, Tuchel went one position better then Southgate. So the next Euros might be interesting.

[Olneythelonely]

It was like Soccer Aid. Thought Jonathan Wilkes was going to come on at one stage.

Gareth you're shit, son. Tommy Tuchel all the way!

He only had three places higher that he could possibly have gone to, so fair play to him.

[Ian.]

As good as Olise is, his finishing is something to be desired.

Watkins showed why he’s far better than Toney. I thought he played very well. Bellingham is world class and with him we always have a chance to win.

Thought they deserved it.

It was entertaining, England deservedly won their bronze medals, but I suspect that if it had have been a competitive game, France would have won relatively easily.

Better team and better squad. I heard there were some sour faces in the French camp as they wanted a night out on Wednesday after losing to Spain and Deschamps said no, we have the 3rd place game on Saturday. Or as most French people call it, the chocolate medal game.
