Welshace Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yeah, clearly early to judge yet... but I'm not impressed with the movement in midfield yet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Neuer maybe? Oh... yeah... obviously. I'm embarrassed to admit, i'd forgotten the clear number one Was thinking Courtois? nahhh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just noticed Romania have a guy named Stanciu and another named Stancu, I was wondering why they kept pronouncing him differently once in a while. How confusing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius1998 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 How did Gignac get in this squad ahead of Lacazzette? Favouritism, maybe? Although admittedly, the Mexican league is way better than people consider it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 How did Gignac get in this squad ahead of Lacazzette? It's strange, but apparently he's been scoring loads in Mexico. Which is a better league than people usually think. edit: just checked Wikipedia and apparently he got 28 goals in 33 league games this season.

Which is a better league than people usually think.edit: just checked Wikipedia and apparently he got 28 goals in 33 league games this season. Still surprised but fair play to him. Only thing is, is he not similar to Giroud? Lacazzette is a different option and that is why I am surprised tbh. Gignac been scoring bucket loads.. and Lacazzette's injury and drop in form stuffed him.Gignac there on merit. IIRC he started off slowly but ended the season on fire.

GunmaN1905 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 While we're at Gignac, why the hell does he have no10 instead of Pogba? Romania looking really organized in the defensive departmend, but lack of offensive class is obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midgetram Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If that handball was yellow, we'll see loads of red cards this tournament. Thought he yellowed the late challenge (that he played advantage for) rather than the handball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshift Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think a lot of big teams are going to be shut down in this tourney. At least Romania have been able to attack a bit rather than just parking the bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
