I thought it was obvious I was being tongue in cheek calling France overrated but alasI didn't, France is the sleeping giant!

So DD has seemingly found a way to solve the problem.The problem with France is tactical and directly on Mbappe's shoulders.
Mbappe doesn't defend on the wing yet can't play the 9 decently. It was the same problem with PSG this year.
In the first game, DD put Thuram at 9 who covered the wing defensively. It lacked balance.
Mbappe never calls the ball behind the D which is a huge problem for a 9.
He wants the ball to his feet and dribble through everyone. That might work on the wing which is why he fled there during the game, stepping on Barcola's toes in the 3rd game.
Meant to comment on this awhile ago. Pretty harsh indictment on mbappe and DDThe problem with France is tactical and directly on Mbappe's shoulders.

I'll only blame DD as in he thought he could get away with this but has let the same problems as Enrique.Meant to comment on this awhile ago. Pretty harsh indictment on mbappe and DD
Mbappe is going to feast on that slow and error prone backline, Belgium s only chance is to outscore them.I don't think Belgium has what it takes to beat France.
I got a feeling the midfield is going to be eaten alive.Brave lineup from Tedesco. We'll see how that works for him...
Difficult to believe this site is buckling under the pressure of the traffic generated by some middling FA signings. You'd think McDavid was traded or something.
France already look better than they did in the group.
It's been slow since Friday.Difficult to believe this site is buckling under the pressure of the traffic generated by some middling FA signings. You'd think McDavid was traded or something.

Yeah I figure that was the draft. It appears that even a small spike in traffic is too much for it.It's been slow since Friday.
Fart in everyone's general direction?lol what did the French do to piss this ref off?
Doesn’t strike confidence in reffing when the guy manages to miss a obvious re-direction despite looking straight at it from half a meter away lol
