On paper they should be the best team. I expect a lot from them. I think this half showed why, this team lost to Sweden and drew against Luxembourg in the qualifiers. They can be very good, but sometimes they just play like they can't be arsed. Yeah it seems like what they are lacking is fire / will power. I suspect against a good opponent the will look much better.

France has such a crazy talented team on paper. Yet they seem to be overly reliant on Mbappe and falling over/diving against fucking Australia. What the fuck Deschamps?
|
France doing their utmost best to put me to sleep.
Oh, and Pogba is really bad.
|
Dude these are kids of 22-24 playing the World Cup, they must be nervous honestly.
Once the first goal/win comes they'll feel more relaxed
|
That's what happens when you have no game plan. Deschamps was molded by the 98 team with 3 DMs and counting on geniuses like Zidane to win games. Compared to teams like Spain playing with just Busquets (who has more to offer offensively than any French midfielders), France looks like crap.
They will always struggle against smaller teams that let them have the initiative, and 'shine' against bigger ones that give them space (let's not forget how lucky they were in that game vs Germany 2 years ago).
|
France ballless like ever. Zidane was not only a genius talent-wise but also as a leader. He is missed so much
|
I really think you are downplaying France 98
|
Downplaying what? They were solid as f. From the ro16 they struggled against every team, and then beat Brazil with 2 header goals and a 90+ counter attack. The 2000 team was better.

red card hernandez, he's such a fucking drama queen.
|
This game is reminiscent of France's opener in 2002, with world class forwards getting no service against a weak side
|
As in you are talking about a team that won a world cup vs a Paraguay, Italy, Croatia (that croatian team was sick, Suker was the top scorer, also third they beat Netherlands) and maybe the best Brazil with Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Cafu
And that Italy wasn't a joke either, Roberto Baggio, Costacurta, Vieri.
They had a pretty hard ko stage, maybe not super solid, but you have to be really good to advance over those teams

Sometimes you really know what club a player is playing for by his actions

They were really hard to maneuver, and they weren't creating much either. Similar to the current team, minus the solidity.

well done VAR, that is the correct call
|
Thank fuck for video in football nowadays.
|
Man, nice VAR but it was way too late feels weird
|
Fuck that's a quality penalty
