Didn't see a thread discussing the matches so ta da!! France haven't impressed me much they look nervous and why Martial isint playing is beyond me!!
Payet is an absolute pervert like. Unbelievable player and the only one who's looked fully the part. Opening game is always tough France remain the team to beat for me.
It was a great win in that situation and could kick start something fantastic for them but they don't look set up correctly, be interesting how much more confident they will be in the 2nd game
Agree on that system left them square. Martial for Giroud and drop Kanye deeper and it's fixed. Remember Euro 96? Tough to get it right v an average team in game 1.
Gotta feel for Romania there, I thought they were well worth a point, France not looking the force that they have been billed as. Thought Payet and Kante were great but was a bit disapointed with Pogba, he played some nice passes but if he put half as much effort into controlling the midfield as he does in trying to do the flashy stuff every time he gets the ball France could have walked that game tonight. They might well improve but I didn't think they looked anywhere near a potential winner of the Euro's tonight.
Lorik sent off, utterly ridiculous handball. Thaulent Xhaka looks a very decent player indeed, still at Basle might be an easy poach for someone.
All hype about poor English defence I think lack of goals will be our problem. We failed to break the Portuguese defence when they parked the bus. We need a midfield play making genius like Kante at Leicester to get a Vardy goal threat imooc. Hopefully we get lucky in our group games as if we flop I fear BSA being the next England manager
