France v England: Anyone interested in the most expensive brake for free? | Israel today

If the underdog Harry Maguire does play in the squad against France, he will have to be at his peak • Will a new legend be written? pray


Eli, Eli, that it will never end, and on Saturday, in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, England against France, Big Ben against the Eiffel Tower, pranks that go far back to the Hundred Years' War, which began in the 14th century and continues with small fouls to this very day.

The problem is that if in the moments of decision all that will be left for the British Empire to rely on is Harry Maguire's defense skills, then it is recommended that the new king and his subjects mainly pray for a miracle.

Yes, God bless King Charles if Maguire, Manchester United's lemma, does stand in the center of defense.

There is no other remedy except sincere prayer, because the French Kylian Mbappe is supposed to run opposite and compare the two.

Although they don't play the same role, it's like comparing a Ferrari that just rolled off the assembly line to a tricycle sitting in a warehouse.

Mbappe is everything that is beautiful in modern football.

A super player engineered in a master's workshop and combining speed, power, phenomenal ball control and the finish of a hired killer.

Anyone who saw his second goal against Poland this week, that smash that sent the ball into the upper net, understands what the commotion is about.

Maguire, compared to the boy wonder, is a sad story about a great hope that collapsed on the well-kept lawn in the north of England.

A 29-year-old guy, who stands 194 centimeters tall and has the look of a real leader, one worthy of the Captain movie.

Manchester United was indeed impressed and decided to bet on the giant.

Three years ago she paid Leicester £80m to make this guy the most expensive stopper in the history of the game.

From that celebratory moment there is almost no catastrophe that has not befallen the defense of the Red Devils, who under Maguire's protection became the frightened Devils.

The brakeman demonstrates almost every week horrifying displays of weakness, insecurity and unbearable holes in the rear.

Even in Ghana, a few days ago, when Isaac Adongo, a member of the parliament, wanted to sting the vice president, Mamoudu Baumi, in the budget discussions, he called him an "economic Maguire".

"They thought he was the best stopper in the world," Adongo said at the hearing.

"But he has become the biggest threat in Manchester United's defense. He tackles his team's players and passes balls to the opponent. Mr. Chairman, when you see the opposing team about to score, Maguire will score for them."

United fans have also been begging for a long time for the burden to leave them as soon as possible.

In the summer, when news appeared that Chelsea was interested in the player, there was someone who wrote "Buy him, take him for free, the main thing is that he goes", and someone else added: "We don't have a product return policy".

Are the discounts over?

Maguire suffered a devaluation of his status at United this year, and began to spend more and more time on the bench.

The club also understood that there is a limit to every trick, so it was surprising that the coach of the English national team, Gareth Southgate, not only decided to fly the flop to Qatar, but also let him play in the team knowing that failure could cost him his job.

Southgate said he was building on Maguire's experience and long-standing familiarity, but he also surrounded the stopper with top-quality players, so that even in the event of a mistake, there would be someone to cover him.

England has played four games so far, and except for two goals in the first game against Iran (2-6) they did not concede.

The big bet in the meantime succeeded.

The problem is that tomorrow, in the quarter-finals, there will be no more discounts for club members.

France is the perfect team.

It has Mbappe, but not only him - in the front part it is also worth mentioning Olivier Giroud, who became the team's greatest scorer of all time, and there is also the talented Antoine Griezmann, and in general, everywhere you look there is a lift capable of landing a knockout.

If Maguire does play in the squad, he will be forced to be responsible, error-free and at his peak.

If there's an underdog tonight, he speaks English with a heavy British accent.

To his credit, this is still the World Cup, a place where new legends are written every four years.

Is Maguire's feet the next surprise of the tournament?

Pray, dear fans, pray.
