00:00It's a good day, though, isn't it, right?
00:02Mbappe, Messi on the card, going to be out on the pitch here.
00:06But, you know, France better be careful with Senegal.
00:09We saw that upset years ago, right, all of a sudden.
00:12But they certainly feel like Senegal has enough offensive power to make this interesting.
00:18What do you see happening here?
00:21Yeah, I certainly do.
00:22You know, Sadio Mane is an unbelievable player.
00:26He's not quite at what he was when he was at his peak at Liverpool.
00:29But he's still a very dangerous player.
00:32I struggle here in this game with Senegal's defense.
00:35They're normally a very good defensive side.
00:37They have a number of recognizable players who either were playing in the Premier League,
00:43are playing in the Premier League.
00:45But they were really poor in their two warm-up games.
00:49They got pressed into oblivion by the United States in that 3-2 defeat for Senegal.
00:54And then they were not the better team in a nil-nil draw with Saudi Arabia in a game where
01:01Saudi Arabia missed three huge chances to score.
01:04So I worry about them defensively against the best attack in the world.
01:10You've got Kylian Mbappe, but alongside him, you've got Michael Alise.
01:14You've got a number of very good attacking players in this team.
01:19Bradley Barcola, Desiree Douai, the list goes on.
01:24So I worry defensively about Senegal in this game.
01:27And I think I would take – the odds are tough on a number of these games today.
01:31So we'll get to that.
01:32But I think in this game, Kylian Mbappe, anytime goal scorer at around even money, is very good.
01:38You know, he is chasing the all-time World Cup goal-scoring record.
01:43He's only, I believe, four goals off of Miroslav Klose's record and only 27 years old.
01:51So, you know, you would expect him to get there if not this tournament, then the next one.
01:55But he is just an incredible goal scorer.
01:57And he's in a balanced team in this France team.
01:59Whereas at Real Madrid, he's still scoring tons of goals, but the team isn't very balanced around him.
02:04It's well set up for him in this France team.
