Well, to be honest, we only played well after the missed PK. We should have never been in that position to begin with. Switzerland played great and were a tough team to manoeuver and exposed our defense badly.

But the issue is that our whole gameplan is to get Pogba the ball so he can make magic or let the front 3 create something out of nowhere. And when individuals fail , then we look poor. No real attacking pattern or actual strategy to get the ball in the danger zone or to a proper target.

That team has been looking like 2006 Brazil, talent galore but lack of project. Team wise, Germany, Spain or Italy are far more grounded and they can rely on their system when individuals lack.

I cant be too mad at Deschamps though. One Euro final and One WC, thats an excellent resume.
Hopefully Zidane come and give us a better playing style. I have nothing against Sissoko, there's no reason for him to come in in 2021.

Football fukkery I love it :wow:

Mbappe's penalty was poor

France played too languid, not the first time they have done that

I don't know why the dismissal of small nations still persists, players are in the top leagues and best practices are shared globally now

Destroying Varane and Kimpembe now.

How are you trash in a back 3?! :laff:

Zouma starting wouldn't have been a bad idea to be honest.
Someone care to explain to me how they are in front of Zouma in the pecking order?

I'M MAD AS FUKK!!!

waste of Pogba's performance

i new once Sissoko came on and Switz tied, it was a wrap. that bum brings nothing

when Zidane takes over, I expect him to bring real ballers to the WC like Aouar, Cherki, Tchuoamani, Caquaret, to play along with Pogba and Kante and leave all those other bums

Who gave away the ball for the last Swiss goal?

Pogba is a waste. Man's was trying to lead the team but let the baby of the team take the most high pressure PK. Joke baller.

One of the big criticisms of Zidane is that he isn't really a coach like that.

And with the limited time you get with international players, is he really the best option to implement a style and coach it properly? :jbhmm:

:mjgrin: That title change. I’m with it

Italy is going all the way :blessed:


Wasted a great performance by Benz and Pogba :mjcry:

Mbappe needs to use this as fuel to come back even better
