Occasionally good, mostly pretty bad

Very noticeable from McCoist.
Super meh compared to what he was before at City.
Kantes tank is unreal. Pressing all over the pitch
Typical Deschamps style, very Italian.
You'd actually say that France was the unlucky team this game. They could have easily been 3 goals to the good.
Agreed, he is typically the kind of player that shouldn't be offside.
Would think it's the exact opposite. Gets treated extremely harsh. Especially on here. Been very good defensively this half as well
Who's been better?
He has literally instigated almost every major France attack.
He took too long with the pass, anyone can see that.
which min?@GifLord Can we have a video of Mbappe running
And also somehow released the ball in that tight space once he’d won. He’s been great tonight, the fact that posters think he hasn’t just shows what he’s up against.
Makes me laugh that people are calling to sign a Declan Rice off the back of this. Kante is spending a lot of the time higher up than Pogba leading the press. Allows Pogba and Rabiot to set, and it’s why Pogba isn’t being caught out of position like at United.
I thought the most important part was winning the ball and keeping it, tbf. Helped give you guys a bit of a breather.Which was the most important part of the action.
It's a fetish, what can I say
Thank you. My point exactly.
Oh they were offside but you still feel ripped off.
The pen I think would have been given in the PL. His foot comes through his legs and he makes contact with the player before the ball. Going off old school rules not a pen though as there wasn't much contact.
France scored one and had two ruled out for offside. Pogba was the one who created every one of those chances. That’s not a small contribution against a big team. All he needed was Mbappe to hold his run better on two occasions and he’d be lauded by everyone for obvious reasons.
Meh. They were offside and it wasn't borderline armpit decisions. Germany had the 1 chance with Gnabry that he should've scored. Been a tight game and probably a draw would be fair
Yeah.Germany have had plenty of the ball, but France have dealt with them pretty well.
A little bit shit that this match is going to end with an own goal as the winner. Germans got done by their own hands.
Volland 
. How is he still playing for the NT. Such a bang average footballer

No end product for Germany. Very weak in the final third.
Volland
Volland
Anyway, that was a fun game. At least better than a lot of other dross served in this tournament.
Volland is shite. What a horrible touch.
Volland with the worst cameo ever
France very impressive.
Neither side could have asked for a much harder first game. France were absolutely deserving winners and very solid

Volland. What’s the opposite of clutch?
Germany need a striker.
Volland has been as bad as a fan coming on. My word.
Jose missing out on Kante cost us a lot
Volland has been terrible
Not sure how Muller is still on the pitch.
wasn't Muller more of a 10 when they won the world cup? I guess they don't really have great options to put in front of him.
They're a bit like Spain in that regard. They came against the favourites though, and I actually thought they fared better than expected
Well, yeah, but if you ignore all of those chances and everything else he's done then he's been average.
Sane helping France waste time, well done
