Doom-monger obsessed with Herrera & the M.E.N.
Spain have another chance at a penalty. Switzerland down to ten men. Not again for goodness sake. Saved.
Kimpembe is one of the most underrated CB in the world because he screwed up a couple of times in big CL games but he has been amazing for the past year.Feels like there should've been at least 3 or 4 more goals in this France Portugal game. Kante and Kimpembe have been superb
He has been good. Croatia scored a lucky goal.How is Victor doing in the game against Croatia?
Definitely.Perfect example of why players dive, Trincão has to go down there
Hope he doesn't do his back in again.He has been good. Croatia scored a lucky goal.
Not entirely sure it was in the box but yeahn i wouldn't have argued if it was a pen.Perfect example of why players dive, Trincão has to go down there
The point is to score enough to win a game. No point in missing good chances against Chelsea and Arsenal just to score 3 against RB Leipzig. He needs to find consistency because a good finisher he is not. Just as Martial today.Scoring goals though. Which is the point.
I'm not sure your middfield has much of a future, Sanches/Moutinho might replace Danilo or Carvalho pretty soon. They're just not enough/too slow to build offenses when your team is under pressure.Disappointing this, we did enough for a draw and take it to the last game at least but France are definitely the best team in the world so can't complain.
It might be a good thing in order to lower expectations for the Euros.
France should have won by at least 2 goals IMODisappointing this, we did enough for a draw and take it to the last game at least but France are definitely the best team in the world so can't complain.

Did he have a good chance against Arsenal? Don’t remember it at all. But yes, both need to contribute in tight games.We should break the bank for Coman.

Agreed. He’s only 20 and already looks so mature in the way he plays. The future looks Bright if he keeps develop like this.Dejan Kulusevski is actually developing into a very good attacking player. One of the best players on the pitch against Croatia imo.
France should have won by at least 2 goals IMO
Portugal should be playing much better with all those talents.
What game did you guys watch?Ronaldo and Portugal were shocking tonight. Only lost 1-0 but France were barely troubled all game.
Renato was out and Moutinho can't play like that for 90 minutes anymore. I think Danilo and William together in the big games is definitely the way to go tbh.Deserved win for France.
We hurt ourselves by starting very defensive. Only when France scored our manager decided it was time to attack, and in that moment we started to pressure France and took control of the game.
Unfortunately this won't be the last time we'll play with Danilo and William Carvalho both at the same time. When Moutinho came on it was night and day.
Depends on how the opponents plays. Against us with a lot of players putting pressure on your defenders and your defensive midfielders, you were barely able to get the ball to your attackers in the 1st half. Felix and Ronaldo were transparent.Renato was out and Moutinho can't play like that for 90 minutes anymore. I think Danilo and William together in the big games is definitely the way to go tbh.
We could do with Renato having a great season though, if he improves and manages to start then he'll be a better fit in midfield.
I am just a bit annoyed that I needed Ronaldo to have 2 shots on target all game to win £90 and he failed to do so haha!What game did you guys watch?
We did play alright, with Pepe out we were always going to give them chances given we have no good replacement but offensively we created a lot more chances than I'd have expected against France. There's no other national team that won't be second best against this french team when they're playing like they did today.
We are always going to lose the midfield battle against a team like France no matter who we play. Danilo, William, Moutinho and Renato are all good players but they’re not Pogba, Kante or Rabiot. They’re simply not as good.Depends on how the opponents plays.

Coudln't Ruben Neves be an upgrade?We are always going to lose the midfield battle against a team like France no matter who we play. Danilo, William, Moutinho and Renato are all good players but they’re not Pogba, Kante or Rabiot. They’re simply not as good.
We don’t have any world class players to play in those two spots in holding midfield. If we play Moutinho instead of William then he’d only have lasted 60 minutes and we’d have one less tall players for set pieces where France are very strong with all their giants.
Ronaldo, Felix, Jota and Bernardo will have less chances to shine when we play Danilo and William together but they don’t need much to make a goal happen so I’m fine with making it harder for them if it means we’re more solid, at least in these sort of games.
He was PSG best player in CL FInal, for me.Kimpembe is one of the most underrated CB in the world because he screwed up a couple of times in big CL games but he has been amazing for the past year.
How come Isak never seems to start for Sweden, benched again for Marcus Berg.Dejan Kulusevski is actually developing into a very good attacking player. One of the best players on the pitch against Croatia imo.
I think there's a couple of good reasons for relatively aging national teams, not just Sweden:One thing that puzzles me with Sweden - they always look like a retirement home.

I agree, Kimpembe was amazing in that final. And it does feel like there's relatively little hype surrounding him.He was PSG best player in CL FInal, for me.
