who would lead the attack then? Giroud?
It could be Giroud, Martial, Griezmann, Delort or Lacazette if he retrieves some form.who would lead the attack then? Giroud?
I'd rather Martial play on the wing...he's had to carry the attacking hopes of United, adding those of the host nation would be so much pressure.It could be Giroud, Martial, Griezmann, Delort or Lacazette if he retrieves some form.
There is a fair chance that France play without wingers in a 4-3-1-2.I'd rather Martial play on the wing...he's had to carry the attacking hopes of United, adding those of the host nation would be so much pressure.
It's going to be a midfield three, no matter what. You can forget all idea of a 4231, unless Pogba plays #10.It'll be Giroud. Griezmann is quality all the same and I think France should find a central role for him. Maybe shadowing Olivier. Truthfully, I'd love to see France abandoning their tried and tested failures and trying something new and dynamic. A team, for example, of:
Lloris
Sagna
Varane
Koscielny
Evra
Matuidi
Pogba
Martial
Griezmann
Fekir
Giroud
With Fekir and Martial playing on the wings, Griezmann making runs beyond Giroud and Olivier dropping for the link up.
Nobody will touch him , while this is hanging over his head , France have banned him from playing for the national team.El Confidencial says Perez is desperately trying to flog him.
Who's the third in the midfield for you? Cabaye?It's going to be a midfield three, no matter what. You can forget all idea of a 4231, unless Pogba plays #10.
I'd be all for that then.There is a fair chance that France play without wingers in a 4-3-1-2.
The third midfielder could be Sissoko, Schneiderlin or Lassana Diarra. Sissoko because for some reason Deschamps loves him.Who's the third in the midfield for you? Cabaye?
I'm interested what your team would be if you were the manager. Truthfully, I'd love the French to win the competition but I think they need to look towards their high quality youth players like Martial, Fekir and even Ntep.
Without Fekir's terrible knee injury (rupture ACL) he probably won't be ready for the tournament and other players will deserve it more.It'll be Giroud.

Lass is the best French DM at the moment, have you seen him play this year?
What about Benzema?
France Football Federation suspended him until the case is resolved.
No, but he's playing in a crap league in a team with no Champions League football. If he's better than Coquelin, fair play to him... he must be even better now than he was at Madrid.Lass is the best French DM at the moment, have you seen him play this year?
Coquelin would deserve a call up at some point, it's close between him and Schneiderlin and he may represent the future. I rate them all better than Cabaye as DM but Cabaye can also play higher up the pitch.
Not ridiculous if you've seen him perform for club and country so far. He has been incredible tbh, the only question that remains is if he can keep up the same level all season long. Coquelin is a good player but there are many quality CMs for France and most important, the few games he's been called up already, Lass instantly started performing well for the national team. Playing in the Ligue 1 and with no CL doesn't mean the player is necessarily weak.
Didn't know that! Can't help but feel that Deschamps is holding your team a bit back or I simply don't agree with some of his selections.Not ridiculous if you've seen him perform for club and country so far.

@bucky: Even if Payet was still fit and performing well, I don't think Deschamps would have called him up because there isn't a good relationship between the two.
When it comes to Payet for instance, he's been given plenty of chances to prove his worth for the national team in the last couple of years and he's often disappointed. Coupled that with the bad vibe between and it's easy for Deschamps to not consider him as a serious option, (now he's even got the excuse of Payet being injured). Of course nobody is perfect but personally I don't have a pb with most of his call ups since the WC (apart from Sissoko maybe and not giving chances to Laporte), Deschamps manages by a certain code of behavior and if any player doesn't wanna toe the line, they're just not considered.Didn't know that!

Considering what happened in the past, that's probably the right thing to do. I just want to see the best team possible with all of this talent.When it comes to Payet for instance, he's been given plenty of chances to prove his worth for the national team in the last couple of years and he's often disappointed.

From a football's perspective, just like it was with Ribery, losing Benzema won't impact the team much because he has never gotten close to replicating his club performances for the national team.Considering what happened in the past, that's probably the right thing to do.

The best team possible is probably without Benzema, he has never been very good with France.Considering what happened in the past, that's probably the right thing to do. I just want to see the best team possible with all of this talent.

I don't disagree, just a general statement.The best team possible is probably without Benzema, he has never been very good with France.
Money can allow you to contest everything a lengthen the process. Also he appealed, so it's not over.It's taken 6 years to come to that poxy verdict? Ah to be rich.
It means that you don't go to prison but will if you commit certain felonies or crimes.What does a "suspended" jail term mean?
you don't go to jail, unless you commit another crime during your suspended-jail time sentence.What does a "suspended" jail term mean?
He doesn't see the inside of a prison cell...and not be naughty during that timeframe.What does a "suspended" jail term mean?
Yeah, money can't by you love but it can by the legal system of every country.Money can allow you to contest everything a lengthen the process. Also he appealed, so it's not over.
You are not buying the legal system and it would be dishonest to say that. Legal systems have safeguards that are meant to allow to people to have fair trials, if you have time and knowledge of the law, you can use all of them.Money can't by you love but it can by the legal system of every country.
And if you have lots of money you can get away with shit like blackmail, it's always been bent that way, you or me would have been in jail and out by now.You are not buying the legal system and it would be dishonest to say that. Legal systems have safeguards that are meant to allow to people to have fair trials, if you have time and knowledge of the law, you can use all of them.
If you have money, you can also hire experts with knowledge of said safeguards.You are not buying the legal system and it would be dishonest to say that.
