I thought they were first class in the way they managed the atmosphere, and the subs that came on all had an impact.They defended with their lives after going down to 10 men and it was their best performance of the World Cup, ahead of a big test against Norway.Clinton was speaking on behalf of Freebets.

I think they’re a team you can get at defensively, but their midfield, wingers and forward line can cause problems.Stale Solbakken has got some good options at his disposal, and you saw that in the Brazil game when he took off Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sorloth, replacing them with Oscar Bobb and Andreas Schjelderup.

It’s something which has been spoken about a lot, and I don’t think people need to be getting involved in that situation.I’ve seen that France have now asked FIFA whether Michael Olise’s yellow card can be overturned, even though he’s not suspended, as one more yellow would see him miss the following game.

France are the team to beat at this World Cup by the looks of things (Image credit: Getty Images)Their request has been denied, and now you’re going to have everyone asking for similar treatment. England were thinking about appealing Quansah’s red card too, even though it was the correct decision in my opinion. But there’s no
