Age Old Debate Revisited
by Gil Fri May 20, 2016 3:14 pm
Sports claiming Belgium had bad CM's while insinuating France had elite CM's triggered me.
I thought was a genuine debate before Deschamps inexplicably left Benzema, Ben Arfa, Kurzawa & co at home now it's not even close to me. Only advantage France have is in the fullback position.

Not even a discussion.
France's squad is probably five times better.
Belgium are not going to get anywhere at the Euros, again. Small time NT.

Yeah, France definitely has the better looking squad. Also, Gignac must have had a wonderful time in Mexico to be chosen or Didier believes in keeping certain players within his squad regardless of form or club.

Belgium have a better attack and GK, midfield is debatable but have a worse defence. France on the other have a better coach, home-advantage and an easier road to the semi finals. France will have a better tournament almost certainly.

That's not what the teams will be like though, I tried this earlier but didn't work because both teams play different formations.

I know, I copied most of yours only to build it around the Coman > Hazard line tbh

Courtois isn't even better than Lloris tbh, I thought this season would have proved it but alas...

Stared at both squads long and hard trying to figure out how Belgium is better than France but I couldn't do it, that isn't to say they will not out perform France in the Euro because anything is possible... but I'd say France is superior in just about every position in terms of talent and current form. Its a shame there is no Benzema
