Tbf you already acknowledged the transformation (and you know me well enough to know it’s all in good humour anyway)

France probably Mbappe is the best player in the World, and they've worked a way that the rest of the players work for him incredibly well. We are okay, but I worry about the ponderous way we transition at times, just think they'll pick us off with impunity.
Obviously I hope I'm wrong.

No that’s definitely true. He was really quite bad in 2018, his 6 goals included 3 penalties and an accident. It was right after his first big injury that ended the period where he was probably the best striker in the world.
He’s been good this season though and carried that form into the tournament. Has gradually adapted his game to not being quick enough to spam shifting it and getting a shot off for 50 goals a season.

Yeah but you look at England's 2nd goal, that was fast and direct, which will be a worry for any opposition.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Rashford starting against France for the counter-attacking potential and pace on the break.

He’ll play a back five with two holding midfielders and stifle the game for as long as possible.

Perisic is always great whenever I watch him. Magnificent header there.
