Alright smart ass. Some of us don’t have a freeview TV.
Day 16: Croatia vs Spain | France vs Switzerland (Ro16 5&6)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
At least his passing creates goal scoring chances, Kante does nothing other than run around the pitch yet gets balon d’or shouts.
I don't know about uncanny, I've seen Gareth Southgate excel at this too.
Discombobulated France performance.
They invented French kissing too.
Deschamps is starting to look like steptoe.
space behind pogba / kante and the CB line is hilariously wide. feels like midfield are 20 yards further up than the CBs. Swiss forwards camping out in that half space
France’s formation hasn’t worked.
Ouch!
NT players are so weird footballs. Those that excel more on the international stage than they do for their clubs. Fascinating stuff.
That's rough from Rabiot.
Don't the French have ab actual footballer instead of Rabiot?
Weren’t Macedonia down as MAK as well? Remember thinking that was weird.
Rabiot ragdolled him
I see your Southgate and raise you 1 Frank de Boer.
France have been fecking awful.
MKD I think.
England have a great chance if this continues and beat Germany tomorrow
Shit 1st by France... The back 3 setup is a bad idea..
In real-time it looked liked he leaned in with his elbow there
He could've been killed
Kind of get the feeling Benzema returning has unbalanced France in final third even though he's played o.k.
Needed a few more warm up games to get the structure right.
Big danger of them going out here as Swiss aren't an easy team to score against.

You know, Clive. Isn't that right, Clive? Absolutely, Clive! Exactly, Clive.
McCoist is such a servile wee creep.

Dirty bastard.
I know Embolo's only scored one goal so far, but I think he's been one of the most impressive players of the tournament based on his overall play.
Griezmann and Rabiot both bloody awfulGriezmann
I've been having this same conversation with friends recently and we agreed that lately, the standard if punditry is just becoming unbearable now.
I think a lot of it has to do with the internet, people having the option to watch/research the game globally and self educate that a lot the nonsense that the pundit spout is just becoming so obvious now.
there's unwatchable and there's France
they will turn it around though

With all due respect to Memphis, Maalen en Weghorst, he has less to work with if you look at Mbappe, Kane, Benzema, …
Aka The Dons
MKD I thought?
There's no need for that Rabiot you funky haired bell end
They conceded the goal with useless defending. Swiss won't need attack anymore.
Excellent half for Swiss
Is it just me being bitter but I don't get the "Pogba is so much better for France" thing?
I mean he makes the occasional great pass for France, which he also does for United? He has much better players around him with France so you expect slightly better performance but are they really that good?

Souness will be fighting his way back into the ITV studio to moan about Pogba.
The French have been awful so far. Need to seriously get their act together if they even want to look like equalising, let alone winning this game.
Maybe Xhaka was right when he said he’s much better than Arsenal and they’re dragging him down…he’s been class!
He is very static in midfield, the whole France team looks like in energy saving mode. Which could be a good strategy in the end. But he's hardly impressive there, and weak defensively as always. Lucky to get away without a yellow card.
They played better attacking football than France after the goal anyway.
