France should walk this tournament. They're something else.

Not if they're gonna be asleep for most of the game. They'll get picked apart by better teams.

How cruel is football. 

Why hasn't Shaqiri taken that penalty, he's got a rocket of a shot. 

Didn't the commentator also say that Rodriquez had missed his last 2 penalties as well or something? You know that Shaqiri would have more than likely buried the penalty into the net, had he taken it.

Deschamps did well in changing things up at half time. Was a tactical blunder by him.

Yeah, bringing on Coman for the hapless Lenglet and reverting to a back 4 was a smart, or should I say a logical move.

Just a shame Pogba has to come back to playing with Fred and McTominay.

Can’t blame it solely on them. Do they make Pogba misplace passes all the time or play with zero intensity? 
 

Pogba needs matured players to succeed. This allows him to feel comfortable.

Yeah, you can't deny the difference in application between Pogba playing for France and Pogba playing for Manchester United. Maybe he's like Bale where he's always up for it with the national team. Maybe playing with the confidence that he's alongside some of the best midfielders in the world bring something else out of him.

But there's definitely a bit of a mental roadblock with Pogba at United compared to how he plays for France or how he played at Juve before him. I don't think it's fair to just blame McTominay and Fred...

Every Benfica fan I know hates Seferovic, despite the fact he´s had a great season for them. xD

You wouldn't believe the kind of chance he misses. He has his moments though. Definitely strong in the air.

Could be a hot take but Ronaldinho wouldn't do better in current Man United. They're similar type of players in the freedom they need.

He can be frustrating no doubt, but the movement around him is crap. Our players are often static which results in him hogging the ball longer then he needs to. But he does tend to take extra touches which he doesn't need to do.

To be fair to him last season. We had 2 really good winning runs, both were when he was in the side. When he was injured we instantly went on a bad losing streak yet went on a winning run each time he returned from injury.

Rodriguez missed a penalty in a friendly against USA just before the Euros. But he's generally a pretty reliable penalty taker.

Shaqiri never really takes penalties, I think? Probably afraid to shoot them well over with that rocket foot of his 😂
