Denmark really lack an explosive player that can stretch teams. Can't do much if the opposition has nothing to worry about in behind you

Upamecano is great so far. Good for him, he was disappointing with France in the past.

France do miss Pogba's passing in behind quite badly, but him being injured is probably a blessing in disguise as in knockout tournaments you need midfielders with energy.

Deschamps always playing a new CB as a RB does make me laugh though. Not a bad thing as being defensively solid with the attack they have will see them not lose many
Its the old Italian way. You can see the influence its had on his style of management and the players he chooses.

France really need to score to open up the game, Denmark haven't come to play at all, so poor.

Cornelius isn't the answer
Not sure who is. Dolberg did not put in a good performance against Tunisia. Poulsen and Braithwaite are consistently bad. We do need some kind of presence up there.

The reality about this version of the national team is that the goals have to come from a variety of sources, because we don't have any really good strikers.

France just a little bit too casual when it comes to putting it away, doing the right things but, think it will come.

Should have nationalised Haaland :wenger:

Cornelius is close to a second booking though, so you'll need an alternative

He blows hot and cold like our own Martial. When he is cold, he’s a passenger.
I see a fair bit of Barcelona and he always seems to be one of their main outlets. Yeah he runs up a few blind alleys. I'm not saying he's Messi. However, when he gets the ball he's a constant threat.

Games would never end
AI based quick decision making would be a solution. This is not like penalty or red card decision which requires human intervention for better judgement. It's just which team touched the ball last and a trained AI model may work. Worth a try at least.
