Yeah, I'd say so.
Listen, it's deja vu for England at the Euros because four years ago, their opening match, same referee.
Now, that ended a draw against France, which was considered a pretty decent result.
But I think England this time around would hope that they can push on and get all three points, particularly because of what it would mean in the context of qualifying early.
And the earlier England can do it...
the quicker that they banish any scars and any memories of what happened in Brazil two years ago.
And that's why they got a draw in their last game against Costa Rica.
So they know what it's like to draw a game in a major tournament.
But let's see them win a game in a major tournament.
The earlier they do it, the better I believe they can become as Euro 2016 unfolds.
Well, what I would say is that if you beat France, I think you probably will win Euro 2016.
So pretty much what you're saying.
The French just specialise in winning their own tournaments, don't they?
1984 Euros, Michel Platini inspired them to victory.
And of course, 18 years ago, France 98, who can forget?
The French victory over Brazil, 3-0 in the final.
They were clearly the best team at that tournament.
They'll believe they can do it again for those reasons, if nothing else.
But the players that you were naming just now, listen, they're another team on the rise with young players that have had fantastic seasons, slightly more experienced players that have had fantastic seasons.
There's just one thing I would say as a cautionary note in terms of picking France as winners.
