They were massively hyped by the British media. This tournament was supposed to be a cakewalk for them.
The cult of Mbappe is bigger than the player.is Mbappe the sacred cow?
Hyped for being the World Champions, and finalists in the previous Euros.They were massively hyped by the British media. This tournament was supposed to be a cakewalk for them.
3 years ago. Players age and develop.Hyped for being the World Champions, and finalists in the previous Euros.
What does that have to do with the being pre tournament favourites with the British media?3 years ago. Players age and develop.
This tournament, they could only win a single game out of four.
And still people questioned Deschamps /didn't really praise him for it... Which I think irked him.They just won’t the World Cup with a lot of the same players…
They didnt start with 6 defensive players though. Barely 4.Not sure if this is a serious thread or not, but Deschamps should be moved on. France has the best squad in international football. They started this match with 6 defensive players. This squad could be much more.
I mean most of these points are very flimsy, not sure if you're being serious or not.France cakewalk to the world domination by numbers
Overrated. nothing like 1996-200 quality
- beaten by a Ronaldo-less Portugal at home in Euro 2016
- Lost to Sweden and scraped 1st place in qualifying group due to young Dutch players still developing
- scraped win vs poor Australia side due to own goal
- barely beat a shite Peru
- could not beat Denmark
- Saved by a lack of "sufficient injury time" vs Argentina
- Bailed out by a Lukaku stinker
- Dominated by Croatia
- Scaped a win vs Germany
- Came from behind to scrape draw vs Hungary
- Came from behind to steal draw from Portugal
- came from behind and saved by Switzerland penalty miss
- 1 win in 4 games vs higher quality of European competition
I didn’t pick them to win it because I know how hard it is to go back to back in international tournaments. But they’re the World Champions, it’s quite natural for them to be hyped, not some weird, unwarranted anomaly.They were massively hyped by the British media.

I know you're joking, but the one game Brazil didn't play Fred in this current Copa America was the one game they didn't win. Perhaps Fred is better than we give him credit for.To be fair. France were missing Fred.
