:lol: get in hungary

Pogba is an exceptional player, but he is not the hardest player to keep quiet if you play a certain way it seems. Night and day vs Germany.
Pogba is a different player when asked to counter compared to when his team is asked to dominate.

France have been way too pedestrian here. They deserved that. Knocking the ball about their own back line at a snails pace too often today.

Benzema needs to have a word with himself if he’s going to come out for the second half.

Anyone bar messi will be quiet when teams play the way Hungary play. Not suited for midfielders to shine. This is a game for France forwards.
Yep, that’s what I mean by set up a certain way. Other types will definitely do more against this type of team.

Think Deschamps messed up a bit here by not starting some of the subs. It's 30+ degrees and half the French team is blowing out of their arses, and they have Portugal in like 5 days time. Need to manage the first XI better

Must be about 32 degrees, the stadium is packed with Hungarians buzzing, and the Hungarian players are totally up for it. France have got a task on, but I expect some late goals, much like in the Portugal game.
