    I'm still smouldering from the BURNING I took on the Colombia v Ivory Coast match when disagreeing with you yesterday Ali....
    I had a few bad luck stories in the England game too and overall took a hammering yesterday!

    But I tend to agree with you on Switzerland. I thought they were atrocious against Ecuador (who weren't any better) and beyond lucky to win that game!
    I'm struggling to find any value betting angle into this game though. No MOTM market available and France at Odds on is not my kind of bet......

    Really like France tbh, that's not something I have ever said before, think they're the pick of the European charge.

    Threw a fiver at the draw at 110, just in case.

    Tink I'm right in saying the other contender for that honour are probably quarter final opponents.

    Yes, and that's the problem - I've backed both pre-tournament. Higher odds than now but they're the 2 who have impressed me both so far.

    Benzema looks in savage form, best I've seen him. So sharp.

    I wonder does Harry still think he's rubbish?

    France look very balanced Bar, no? I'd like Pogba and Griezmann back in though..

    I think they will need Pogba if they play Germany or Argentina. Giroud or Griezmann...I am not sure. I prefer the latter. But Giroud is not without his charms. They have lots of options and players in form.

    Giroud is a very decent player when he has not been slogged to death, looked fresh and hungry yesterday and a good choice for France when they need a different option, France now 3/10 to reach the quarters where 11/10.

    No! Very impressive with the French team.
