They barely have any in the entire squad and this forum wonders why i was critical of their balance before the tournament starts.

Pogba has to be Zidane for it to work, the rest of their usual first XI has no passing ability.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:26 pm

depends if they set themselves up to counter, and if they play against sides like Brazil, Spain, Germany, they will have a blast trying to play counter. But in a game like these one, and the other 2 games for that matter, they try to control the game with possession and players who do not understand the concepts of possession football.

ps: Lemar is the most overrated french player i have seen in a long time. He is gonna flop at Atletico imo

That's the French school for you, a lot of Matuidis and Sissokos, not enough Xavis and Iniestas.

WTF did he say lol. I completely missed that.

Well, he trash talks our player who weren't called up. He's a huge dick, but he's done fairly well so far. Haven't lost in 16.

But I don't know where the trash talk comments come from. He sounds pretty respectful from the things I've heard. But I'm not the best at understanding Norwegian.

Ask @Thimmy

I haven't heard anything about any trash talk from him. Also, he has a country bumpkin accent/dialect, so I don't blame you for not understanding him that well Laughing

outside of converting a PK, Griezmann has been really shit this tourney.

He spent weeks entertaining the drama of his renewal, released a self promoting video just before the WC and he plays like this? numpty

Dembele is an absolute brain dead player, 150 mil on this lad rofl

Barca got their scouting all wrong, they could have kept Adama Traore if all they needed was a pacy player

Damn, exactly what i was thinking

Barca got absolutely mugged

150M for French Zaha ? Unreal

by Art Morte Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:51 pm

Dembele is still young. Calma.

But this group C finale is pretty boring, especially since straylia is losing, too. Maybe Denmark can get a jammy goal. Meh, off to kill noobs in battlefield.

agree, he's all pace and no brain, mentality of a pumpkin, doesn't matter that he's still young bc you can already see he won't be anything special

Awful transfer

The Peru game is interesting, can't say the same about the FRA-DEN.

Griezmann has had a woeful tournament thus far

He needs to really step it up in the knockouts

@Hans

I completely agree btw, he's not bad but he's not even a 50m player in my eyes talent wise

by Unique Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:46 pm

jesus wept this is a shit game.

by Freeza Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:46 pm

Incredible display of Catenaccio

by terrance511 Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:50 pm

france looks mediocre, is it planned?

by Firenze Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:52 pm

Pogbito the best French player of the tournament so far and Griezmann being overshadowed by G-Rude

just tells me what we already knew, Griezmann is a numpty and the PL is GOAT

by Freeza Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:52 pm

Imagine needing to win this game and not using your last sub until 91 minute

Imagine rating anyone who doesn't play in the PL, imagine living that life.

Couldn't be me tbh.

by Zagadka Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:53 pm

Easily the most boring group of the tournament.

Only one fun and dramatic team (Peru) and they were eliminated early after missing about 20 goal scoring chances in the first couple of games.

That says more about France than Pogbito tbh

We won the group. Played like we didn't give a shit... and neither did Denmark for that matter. We needed a draw to win the group and Denmark needed a draw to insure qualification... and all parties played like a draw was fine. I don't remember if we even faced a dangerous anything from Denmark.

That's fine. It was boring though. Feel bad for the neutrals lol. I was even bored.

by Thimmy Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:00 pm

I rarely watch a game so boring it could make one fall asleep before 5pm.
