Group D: Sweden vs France discussion

Sweden vs France discussion.

Same as in Ireland v Italy, Sweden are unlikely to bend over and have the French have their way. They have got fantastic support in this tournament and I'm sure they'd like to give their fans something to cheer about and beating France would do just that. Expecting a tight game.

I want a draw in that game come on Zlatan you can do it

France needs to win this match to delay my deception

Benzema to score at least a double

Hey, remember the German link that buddytaller provided that showed all the possible scenarios of the group stage games? http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/em/startseite/europameisterschaft/2012/1/tabellenrechner.html

Well, if you put England ahead of Ukraine 1-0 and France ahead of Sweden 2-0, it says that in this situation Group D is decided by the UEFA coefficient. And according to the UEFA coefficient, England is 5th and France is 12th, so England finishes top and France 2nd.

Is this right, or is there some sort of mistake?


EDIT: I think if France win by scoring 1 more goal vs Sweden than the number of goals England scores vs Ukraine, the group will be decided by the UEFA coefficient. (e.g. if England wins by scoring 3 goals vs Ukraine and France wins by scoring 4 goals vs Sweden the group will be decided by the UEFA coefficient.

France to be trashed around by Spain

Laurent Blanc's side have been in good form in recent matches, but Giresse thinks that Les Bleus lack a player who can set the tone in the midfield.

"We need playmakers like Xavi, someone who can control the flow of the match, and the temperature of the team," the 59-year-old told El Pais.

"We need to have the ball more, because if we lose it, we are not well positioned on the field."

Giresse, who retired from football in 1988, then drew comparisons between Spain's current squad and France's successful team of the 1980s.

"One day, during a meeting in Egypt after the World Cup in South Africa, I met with [Spain head coach] Vicente del Bosque and I told him that Spain played like Michel Platini's France team," Giresse added.

"He agreed with me."

To be assisted by Cabaye

Lloris - Debuchy, Rami, Mexès, Clichy - Nasri, Diarra, M'vila - Ben Arfa, Benzema, Ribéry

Cabaye replaced by M'Vila since Cabaye has a yellow.

Same with Menez and playing Ben Arfa.

Mexes and Debuchy need to be careful as they carry a yellow as well.

yellows are cleared in knockout stages if im correct

If you have one in pool, it gets cleared and the count is zero going into elimination rounds. If you get a second in pool however, you miss the quarters.

i had a brainfart.nevermind

Lol, at you're avatar and sig Ganso.


Anyway, France to win and to face the Italians in the next round.

why no chat???????????????????

Dat through ball from Benz

A shame Benz can't play though balls to himself

edit: Mexes is WC my ass

benzema creating really well

and oo toivonen .. where the hell is the chat anyway

No chat

Mexes is a joke, bench him already lmao, pathetic player. he hasnt had a single good game.

Jesus Christ

Any of you Eridevisie watchers who criticize me for calling Toivonen overrated now can kindly pipe down.

Theres a reason why I call this idiot overrated along with why Zlatan criticizes him.

HOW in the world did he not capitalize on that?



I don't know how Zlatan puts up with the fodder around him

too bad the other alternative is elmander

Sweden's national team football name should be changed to Ibrahimovic.They're so shit.

Zlatan the only one creating

Makes it look so easy.

France dont really impress me that much.They're extremely hard to break down but their attack has no chemistry at all.
