Coulthard's Jaw Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 France What France are we going to get? The super power of 98,06 and 18? Or will they press the self destruct button like they did in 2002 and 2010? On paper they have incredible depth (even with a few high profile injuries), they are one of the big dogs. Australia Not going to lie, this is a very unimpressive looking Australia squad. Not many big names in there at all. Best player probably Ajdin Hrustic. TV Coverage Gary Lineker is presenting, and I'm afraid the commentary is the scream team: Jonathan Pearce and Danny Murphy. Bad Commentators Who knows, maybe Pearce will be so bad tonight we'll get something like again Teams 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Pavard-Upamecano-Konate-Lucas Kounde-Fofana-Saliba-Theo Which back 4 are you taking? Deschamps managed to field 4 CBs yet again. There's also Varane who's still not fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 That France team can line up in about three different ways, as either a back four, a back three with Lucas Hernández as the left wingback or a back three with Pavard as the right wingback.

RTHerringbone Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) The French should get three points today but sans Benzema (EDIT and Nkunku) they really do seem to lack any attacking depth.

CFuller Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Even without Benzema, France should be too strong for probably the weakest Australia team in 20+ years. Prediction: 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
