[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1112115, member: 70552"] He’s injured and was out of the tournament from the beginning. Hence Giroud plays and Mbappé probably prefers to play with him. Lloris plays for Spurs so we know a lot about him. He’ll also know about Kane. Only thing is I would say is he is not as good with the ball at his feet. They have more pace at the centre backs to cope, but full backs haven’t been tested yet. Although Saka and Foden tend to play infield more rather than out and our wingers. So their full backs can tuck in more. That’s the problem with England against teams better on ball than them. They don’t or can’t control midfield as well - lacking a Modric type player to dictate the play and control the tempo - always been an issue for England . I doubt we’ll see it as our midfield isn’t built that way - skills wise. More to get the ball as quickly to front 3. But as we saw v USA can be contained. [/QUOTE]
