Griezmann transitioning away from a second striker and into a midfield playmaker is actually a pretty great transition that should give him plenty of time as an elite player. Too bad he's at Atletico.
Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

That's a hard cross to come out for to be fair, in-swinging and had great whip on it.
They were way stronger in 2018.
7 in 9 now
He can score goals AND manage the PSG side.
What can't he do.

So Griezmann has 42 goals and 26 assists for France. That's a decent record.
How on earth the defender didn't notice Mbappe behind him! Shocking defending.
Mbappe has a real shot at the world cup record. I think he's on 7, that's as many as Messi and Suarez, 1 more than Henry.
Carefully try to navigate an extremely flawed England team as far in the competition as possible, or swashbuckling loss…
I don’t think an England manager will ever win with the fans.
Brilliant game from both sides. France just have too much quality in attack. That ball from Griezmann was ridiculous.
Because Kane is simply not that good.
Griezmann’s technical ability has gotten better as he’s gotten older.
USA will brush them aside with ease
Nah they're better with Tchouameni in there and Camavinga to come in as well than Pogba/Kante. Those 2 being out is a bit of a blessing IMO.
It was Trent Arnoldesque
With was coman doing? Just put it on Mbappe. Dumb
Ooh Mbappe was totally open there.
France-England in the QF please.
Shame. We have played well but it's deserved.
We need to play like today against Australia.
And hope Mbappe is hungry against Tunisia

Griezmann's created 6 or 7 big chances this tournament as well as dropping deep and linking the play.
He's probably being the best tournament since 2014.

Their current version yes but the 2018 midfield was much better individually than Tchouameni
Rashford, but he doesn't play. Kane is shite in big games. He stat pads against shittier teams.
Pogba's voodoo man is a fraud.
What about 2016?
Not sure he'll play tbh. A good opportunity to rest him
Maybe if itwas the American handball WC
He scored vs Germany at the Euros, no? Oh...
Griezmann was sensational in 2016 imo.
I don't see Coman having the ability to pull off a pass needed.
On paper yeah, but the group stage was way worse. The team looks far stronger now. Doesn't mean anything though, the final stage is a whole different beast.
He was shit all game, but yeah, he did score.
Denmark was very brave, well organised and played well. It is just that France has too much of individual quality who can create something out of nothing.
Mbappe looking good for top goal scorer.
That devastating pace does feel like something England are missing with their current first choice XI
Kristensen and Maehle have been mostly poor.
What is the record?
Stronger squad maybe but this team play much better football. The 2018 team was far more industrious.
plus Mbappe is even better now.
Mbappe has a great chance of becoming the all-time World Cup top scorer. I would back him to be at least half-way there before this tournament is over.
