ever since choosing Real Madrid, he's been pretty iffy. If he pulls a Hazard, it'll be hilarious.So was the guy with the mask.

This has been fun to nobody really. The quality of play is desastrous.This tourney has been fun, but England & France have been really rough to watch for "big" teams.

I don't think it's a coincidence though. With defenders having increasingly been drilled to prioritize shot blocking, it's become a bit of a hockey type thing. You score on 0% of the shots not taken. With so many deflections happening, it's never a bad idea to just put a ball into the danger zone, which France have done plenty of.France is an envious position of having the other team score most of their goals. It’s a bold strategy I another masterclass by DD
Germany a blast to watch?Spain & Germany have been a blast to watch. Austria & Switzerland have been good watches. I dunno, I thought the group stages were interesting in general. Despite what a dud some teams have been. International football is usually super negative but I feel like a bunch of teams have tried to play.
I don't enjoy watching France play, but I like the way they play if that makes any sense. I think of all teams they strike me as the most sensibly constructed one for a tournament. The keeper looks borderline unbeatable, the defenders are strong and skilled, Kante owns the midfield in a way most teams can't.
Offensively, Mbappe is capable of anything at any time and the other players are certainly plenty skilled. However, in the final analysis other teams probably have a more potent offense, so it makes sense for the team to be built around the defense. As Huub Stevens used to say: "The nil must stand".
You could argue that France is what England wishes it was, but England doesn't have the cleverness in the middle of the park or the resolute stoutness in the back.
They won a World Cup, made another World Cup Final, made a Euro Final and may well win this Euro too. I mean since DD took over France, has there been any other European national team even as remotely as successful? It's easy to just say oh it's the players, but we've seen very talented France teams not even qualify for major tournaments or making embarrassing group stage exits. Even the greatest group of players still needs to be put into a structure to work. France play results-oriented football, and they're not the first team to do it and have success with it. In tournaments it's almost always the team with the best defense that wins, not the team with the best attack.That’s great, but your whole post apart from only one line discusses this. You’ve largely just just credited them for having talented players. Selection is nothing to sneeze at either, but selection isn’t the same as tactics.
Yes but...One trophy in 3 major tournaments despite having easily the best squad…
So is playing attractive footy. Which France doesn’t do in relation to their squad.Yes but...
This isn't the NBA. Details are importent and margins are thin.
I'm sorry, you talked about and then playing attractive football. What does one have to do with the other?So is playing attractive footy. Which France doesn’t do in relation to their squad.
Goals=attractive football? I talked about what?I'm sorry, you talked about and then playing attractive football. What does one have to do with the other?
FYI, we beat the number of goals scored in a KO stage in 2018. Sorry for ya.
Yeah 3 finals in 4 tournaments is totally exceptional. Whether you like it or not.Goals=attractive football? I talked about what?
i mean we have done this song and dance before. You are ok with winning one trophy with a stacked line up. No wonder why you like Lucho lol.
I watched my team lose 3 straight finals in 3 summers. Tell me how successful it was and how much i enjoyed it? No goals doesn't mean attractive footy.Yeah 3 finals in 4 tournaments is totally exceptional. Whether you like it or not.
Yes scoring goals is usually considered playing attractive football. Sorry to bring the news.
I mean you're a Pep fan and you think it's attractive football.
Best doesn't mean attractive. I find it hilarious you're saying scoring goals doesn't mean attractive when you're a fan of the coach who plays the most boring football while scoring goals in the history of the game.I watched my team lose 3 straight finals in 3 summers. Tell me how successful it was and how much i enjoyed it? No goals doesn't mean attractive footy.
Yes Im a fan of the best coach in history. Sorry to bring the news to you.
