Freakiie Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Austria, while not particularly great, at least doesn't try to shove every single player into their own penalty area and pray. Having to watch more Sweden though? Oh god. Especially now they're first and probably gonna get an opponent that's gonna park the bus just as hard as they do. What a cracking match that'll be. Anyway, as for these matches... France - Portugal will probably be a draw, Portugal will be perfectly happy with guaranteeing 3rd and they know how suicidal it is to attack France. France really isn't that great when their opposition gives them no space and Deschamps won't bother pushing for a win. Germany - Hungary, Löw surprisingly is not playing Werner, but Sané. So Havertz should be pushing the line again like he did against Portugal, so our attack might actually not be terrible! Not sure why Gündogan is still playing since I haven't seen him do anything at all so far, would've preferred Goretzka, but meh, can't have everything.

You can joke about England all you want and yes we have been very lacklustre. But the French would much rather play Switzerland or Ukraine on a neutral ground than come for an away game at Wembley. If you expect Germany to beat Hungary then France need to win to avoid dropping to second in the group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
