(Round of 16) - France 3-3(p) Switzerland - Monday 28th June, 2021

[Inverted]

Deschamps' system has done well here, poor little France are still very much in this at 1-0 down. 

[Beelzebub]

Those 50 minutes against Portugal was only time France looked like they want to play at this event

[Dr. Gonzo]

I think aside from France playing pretty poorly, the Swiss are playing really well.

[Machado]

My boy Seferovic 

France can't defend but they're brilliant to watch. Griezmann and Mbappe work well together.

France doing my head in. So much quality going forward but it's restricted by a coach that has no clue on how to get the best out of them. Annoyingly so. 

He's been their manager for 9 years now, you would think that he would have found the right formula for the team by now. Having a back 3 for them is a waste for a side like them with so much offensive talent. Also Rabiot out of position had a poor half. Deschamps really needs to change things for the 2nd half.

What was Lenglet doing for Seferovic's goal? He defended like a dunce. 

[Carnivore Chris]

France may have won the last World Cup but could have done even more. They should probably have won the last euros and have easily got the most talented squad in the world in this tournament, although they aren't showing it at all thus far. 

This has been a great tournament so far though and showing why I've always preferred it over the world cup, which is largely underwhelming these days.

[Michael]

Kingsley Coman is on for Lenglet, a good positive move for the French. Coman should cause some havoc for the Swiss defence in this 2nd half.

[Stan]

France don't even look like scoring. No pressure on the Swiss goal.

They've been shite to watch for years. I was surprised people were excited to watch them play at this tournament. 

Yeah they definitely a dull watch. 

 

[Michael]

Zuber has been excellent for Switzerland at these Euros, he could have had a penalty there.

[Stan]

Looked a penalty on Zubar

[Stan]

On the replays it looked outside. 

[Michael]

Penalty to Switzerland!!

[Carnivore Chris]

The way the ref signalled a pen then  

[Stan]

Love the Mike Dean impression from the ref. 

[Machado]

Switzerland bottled it. France will end up winning now 

[Stan]

Superb save. Decent penalty too. 

[Michael]

Super save by Lloris!! A vital penalty save!

[Carnivore Chris]

Saved!

That could well have been game over then if Lloris didn't save that.

[Chaaay AFC]

What a save by Lloris, Rodriguez never looked convincing. 

[Stan]

Don't agree the commentators saying there was no conviction. It was a really, really good save from Lloris. 

[Michael]

Goal !! Benzema equalises!!!

[Stan]

Benzemaaaaa! That penalty save has changed the game. 

[Spike]

Mbrappe wide open and misses to the surprise of no one.
