France is class above anyone else, bu can't slack against the likes of Denmark and Peru. Biggest game will be Denmark v. Peru, I think because it may determine who else leaves the group. Australia shows well, but they still just aren't good enough to be taken seriously at the highest stage.

Peru was extremely unlucky. And I don’t mean the pk - that was just terrible.

I’ll tell you what, though. Erikssen’s assist for the goal doesn’t get enough credit. Not for the vision. Obvious pass to make, but his timing and the pace and bounce of it made it extremely easy for Poulsen to get his shot off.

It’s often overlooked how important it is to give the receiver the ball in a way that suits what they need to do with it.

Pirlo, in his prime, was the best at it.

Ot:
I see a lot of that quality in Keaton, too. I think he has a great future. Hope Benfica doesn’t insist too much on him being a 6. He’s got too much to offer in the attacking third to be 40 yards from goal all the time.
