Coulthard's Jaw Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 ROAD TO THE LAST 16: France beat Germany 1-0, it was a comfortable win but they didn't dominate or anything. 1-1 draw with the surprisingly good Hungary and the group stages ended with a crazy 2-2 with Portugal. Do we know how good France really are? Switzerland drew 1-1 with Wales, probably should have won it. They were then dismissed 3-1 by Italy before ending with a 3-1 win over the terrible Turkey. Feel like France are favourites here despite them maybe not being quite as good as the pre tournament hype made out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Fully expect the kind of snoozefest that these two served up at WC2006 and Euro 2016. Switzerland packing everyone behind the ball and France eventually stumbling through 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Switzerland were rubbish against Italy and Shaqiri doesn't contribute to the defensive side so I could see Pogba doing more damage from deep. They won't but I'd like to see France put in a complete performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do all the NT coaches have to be egomaniacs? Now he switches to 3-4-3 and he didn't take Theo. This is probably another turgid, 1-0 or 2-0 for France.

CFuller Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 France to win this one - no surprises there. I actually think it'll be tight for quite before Les Bleus power to victory with a couple of late goals. And surely Mbappé breaks his duck here. Surely.

Literally the only fault I have with his commentary. And in fairness, that's a fault with many pundits.
