The team with ZERO GOALS in open play okay then.
xG means jack shit in tournament football.
At least they are getting into scoring opportunities. I find that as soon as one French player gets in the box, they automatically look to Mbappe. They did the same thing with Ribéry back in the day and it bit them in the butt in those tournaments. Hopefully they start taking their own chances.

France also has no creative midfielders. They are kind of forced to play defensively. They always played like that even when they had amazing teams. They just so happened to have players like Zidane and Pogba that could make that one play.

I agree France's link up play has been good but their last third has been terrible.
 
Absolutely riveting football from England again
Southgate is a terrorist lol

Not the same team without Pogba
 
Turkey really pushing a whole lot
The Netherlands killed them during that 10-15 minute stretch and Turkiye's subs came too late. It was obvious they were running on empty.
Lol we are getting the game we all thought we we'd see in the round of 16 going into that final day of group matches.

How the f*** did the U.S. lose to Panama? They're awful, and incredibly dirty. Even by Concacaf's low standards.

Colombia trashed them 5-0, with 2 goals by penalty kicks.
While a man down Berhalter had them sit back and play for the draw. That and the Uruguay game seem to be the last draw for the fan base and now many parts to media who now want him to be fired

Anyone see the men's olympic teams, no Brazil, Columbia, Canada, Germany and others. Sorry not interested.

They're u23 teams basically. They can have a few extras but most players are already participating in so many tournaments + season. They want some rest before their new season begins (or continue their current one). Olympic Soccer isn't as valuable as a continental cup
