Quarter final: Spain vs France discussion

Debuchy injured?

Is Nasri on the bench because of recent bust ups with his teammates or tactical reasons?

It's clear to me that we have completed a deal with him and we dont want him to get injured.... protecting assets and all that

Forza Reveillere !

Well I have to agree with Babun again "? " France gonna beat Spain officially......ok ,sincerely i think France will win , maybe one of the reasons is that Spain are pl.a kind of aka barca in a way BUT without Messi...soooo ! IMO

"Benzema is dangerous as he had a great season the Real Madrid. He is very reliable in front of goal, but he is also very involved in the game as he wins back possession a lot," Del Bosque told France Football.

"Then there is Cabaye, who is, in my opinion, an important man in the French system. He starts his team's attacks, but he is also clever in front of goal, as we saw in the game against Ukraine."

Reveillere is a better defender than debuchy. Spain's left flank is extremely dangerous. Makes sense

Spain's defence looked terrible when under pressure, if France can put Spain's defence under pressure from the beginning they'll have a good game. Also I agree with Lizarazu that Giroud should start. France just can't afford losing chances, they have to be as gomezical as possible.

Lloris - Réveillère, Koscielny, Rami, Clichy - Debuchy, Cabaye, M'Vila, Malouda, Ribéry - Benzema

Rumoured lineup

Looks like a 4-4-1-1. Blanc Saw the croatia match alright lol

Rg is alive

main man

Yeh I think Spain need to press better.

both of u lol, dont fight

L'equipe says its 4-3-3 with Malouda in midfield and Debouchy as RW

Fly, time, fly!

Malouda

The game is already lost

Seeing that system again i think i know what Blanc's doing ( its annoying defensive but i see it) the idea of Ribery off Benzema and Debuchy and Malouda on the wings smacks of basically copying what Bilic did against Spain... i.e. double up in wide areas, place Ribery on Busquets, get M'vila and Cabaye to deal with Alonso and Xavi and quite frankly we all saw how well that worked for Croatia.

Benzema will need to understand he's not a freaking midfielder though.

Debuchy RW.

Either Blanc is an idiot or an evil genius...

Even though koscielny is a better player than Mexes, Him and Rami have only played like 3 times. That can go in the favour for Spain. But I trust them both

Fabregas starting upfront for Spain. No Torres

i took Torres out of my fantasy team in the last minute,thank God

Spain starting line up: Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Piqué, Alba, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Silva, Iniesta y Cesc

False 9 vs false 9 match.

Wait is Debuchy playing as CM or as a winger?

Cesc as CF again? come on del busque.....
