Also unfortunately gonna miss this one. Would be surprised by anything other than three points for France.

Yeah traditionally this would be one of the games of the group stage, but in recent years this has become the kind of match you just expect France to win fairly comfortably. Not just because France has been great the last 8 years but also because Holland has slightly fallen off.

I have the Netherlands winning this game, the group, and then taking the momentum all the way to the finals.

Based on...? I feel their group of attacking players is probably the weakest batch of players I've ever seen have a sustained international career for Oranje.

I love the Simons switch to MF.. So positive. Frimpong on the right.

Deschamps loves to play with caution so this should be great.

 

[stats1]

Even without Mbappe I have France winning this one, just flat out the better team

 

[Scandale du Jour]

My man Kylian not starting. Hopefully France can rest him the rest of the group stage.

My thought process was I don't see a clear favourite in this tournament and it felt like the 5th or 6th best team had more of a chance then in tournaments past. I like the Dutch backline and they have some young players poised to breakout. Felt like a fun, underdog pick to make.

I at first thought DD got serious about winning not seeing Rabbit in the midfield then I saw him as a forward that sent me lol. That attacking trio is tough to look at

Surely Griez is playing in a more advanced role, Rabiot drops back?

 

[luiginb]

Huge save there from Maignan

 

[robertmac43]

This game is awesome so far.

Im portuguese. But have always liked netherlands. Them over france this fixture

 

[koyvoo]

The Dutch aren’t good enough to be as cute as they’re trying to be around the French penalty area

 

[Evilo]

Should have scored

 

[serp]

Lol talk about overpassing

 

[Power Man]

lol Rabbit

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Somewhere...Evilo just threw his phone at the TV after that squandered chance.

Edit: He has arrived!

 

[Evilo]

For once that Thuram made a positive play... They ruin it.

 

[Ceremony]

Good patter from Rabiot. Shades of Comeau passing to MacKinnon.

 

[gary69]

Griezmann messed up a great chance, maybe the pass was a bit behind.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

What hell Griez

Grizzou just missed two glorious chances.

 

[robertmac43]

That was terrible all around for France....

 

[luiginb]

France getting Barcelona Griez so far, he's got the same haircut too
