you do know that Romania had the best defense throughout the qualifiers right? Allowing only 2 goals. They also held Spain and Italy to nil nil draws. What the hell is Spain gonna do with that slow and aging midfield and that nonscoring attack?Germany, Spain would easily put them in the coffin. A clicking Belgium would too.
Even a weakened Italy would outsmart them tactically.
Wouldn't be surprised if Austria and Iceland gave them the work too
France and England are both overrated
A host with a world class midfield doesn't get out-performed by minnows in their tournament opener. Romania didn't sit back and park the bus but actually dominated large parts of the game, better teams wouldn't miss those sitters Romania did. Would love to see France meet teams like Austria/Croatia in the early knock out stage and get further found out.@Van Taak no offence but not sure you get tournament play, you're not gonna see blowouts, minnows sitting back, playing tight is hard to breakdown. When Spain won the Euros they won all but one of the games 1-0 if memory serves me right and they had a all time great squad.
Only thing that matters for everyone concerned is that you pick up your 3 points and get out of your group. France played in 4th gear for the most part and still won, that's a good thing, you never want to peak early. They'll be a factor, as will Spain, Germany & the tournament vets Italy
Better goalienikka said a clicking Belgium
Ultimate fraud squad.
"You don't know anything about soccer"you do know that Romania had the best defense throughout the qualifiers right? Allowing only 2 goals. They also held Spain and Italy to nil nil draws. What the hell is Spain gonna do with that slow and aging midfield and that nonscoring attack?
Germany's defense is fraudulent too. Have you seen Hummels and their fullbacks? Coman and Martial are gonna run trains on them if they both start. Martial already did it last Nov. Not to mention their attack isn't as talented as France. And their best midfielders are injured.
Anyways, no team in this tournament is convincing including France, but I'll say Portugal and Belgium have the ingredient to knock them out before Spain and Ger.
You don't know anything about soccer

Ultimate fraud squad.
did you watch Germany in their qualifiers? they were awful. Spain wasn't convincing either. Speaking of WC 2014 Ger only convincing win was against Brazil and a 10 man Portugal. Every other game was close. Same with Spain and Euro08 and WC10. Do you really expect a favorite to thrash every team?"You don't know anything about soccer"
Call it soccer and expect people to take your opinion serious brehs.
Romania's group qualifier was made up of Greece, N.Ireland, Faroe Islands and a few other dead teams
Use friendly results to determine the quality of a team brehs
Did you start watching football at the 2014 WC?
@ Flukaku leading anything to a championship and they dont have a better midfield than FranceBetter goalie
Better defense
Midfield that can compete
Better strike force
A clicking Belgium would roll over most teams in this tournament including the French frauds.
Albania fans already booing the one who didn't join them
