Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

They should go 4-3-3 and match up with Spain. Their current formation with nothing on the right and Griezmann floating is weak.

right? Griezman offers no help to the midfield at all.

Wing play on both sides lacking. Don't France have any decent attacking RB/RWB?

We're not used to play a 3 man defense. I'd say Spain hasnt really been dangerous but we are also neutralizing ourselves. Deche should go back to a 4231 IMO.

The last time they used this format for 2014 they created 2 pots based on FIFA rankings and teams in the same pot couldn't face each other. Top 5 highest ranked vs bottom 5.

If they do it the same way we can avoid Algeria and Senegal in the final round...if we make it that far

We’ll make it to final round. The question is who we’ll face…

Ideally you want your best nations to evade themselves in the final round.

I also don’t care for any North African nations outside of Algeria to make the WC. Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt just take space.

Id rather Naija, CIV/Cameroon, Ghana, Algeria and Senegal be the African reps

Maguire about to rush himself back.

If they giving Zidane #2 spot when most of his big accomplishments were in the 90s, might as well up OG Ronaldo a few spots. Dude was dominating world cup in 02.

Player of the tourney in Euro 2000 and WC 2006. Scored the winning goal in the CL 2002. Yeah he didnt have great stats but he was one of the last pure 10 who didnt score much but made an impact when it mattered. Scored or assisted plenty of crucial goals.

If i was french i'd be mad as fukk that there's so many talented players on the team for the manager to play so defensive.

 

[Ukbrotha]

France have a problem in the wide areas in attack.

 

[FukyourFort]

mbappe.....

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

France have a problem in the wide areas in attack.

No wingers or good fullbacks. Everything is so central.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Kounde has had a shocking start to the 2nd half.

Ive stopped talking shyt about Deschamps the day he won us the 2018 WC. Now I'm waiting for Zidane in silence

Did Pavard just get beaten to the ball by Busquets in a foot race?

 

[Ukbrotha]

Spain's possession and closing down though....
