Stan 8,597 Posted August 25, 2017 Thursday 31st August, 2017: Bulgaria vs Sweden France vs Netherlands Luxembourg vs Belarus Sunday 3rd September, 2017: Belarus vs Sweden Netherlands vs Bulgaria France vs Luxembourg Current Standings Great chance for Sweden to gain some ground on France and/or Netherlands with them both playing each other in the first round. Sweden should be getting 6 points. Also fancy France to get 6 so they and Sweden might both pull away from 3rd spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 8,597 Posted August 31, 2017 Griezmann scores finishing off a well-worked France move. I don't think he meant to nutmeg the keeper's legs though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirBalon 69 848 Posted August 31, 2017 Was poor play all around from Holland, the keeper didnt do anything just stayed on his line, defence was static as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicero 3,434 Posted August 31, 2017 You can't help but feel Griezmann would be ten times better if he were on a side that played free flowing football. Reckon at Barca or even Liverpool, he'd be twice the player he is now. Just oozes class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was minimal, ever so little contact on Griezmann. I think ref has seen Griezmann's theatrical fall out the corner of his eye and thought it was a worse foul than it actually was.

ASF 244 Posted August 31, 2017 It's a shame to see Holland in the state they currently are. They were always one of my favourite national teams to watch. This current side is just full of shite, bar a couple of players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 8,597 Posted September 3, 2017 sensational result in more than one sense for both teams. France, with all their talent, must be wondering how they've not got 3 points. Luxembourg will be over the moon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luxembourg will be over the moon. Luxembourg are very under estimated they do not get hammered alot anymore. But If Holland had a sensible plan and the right formation against France I feel that could of been a draw as France are not as good as what they should be, so many problem players with arrogance.

SirBalon 2,607 Posted September 3, 2017 In all seriousness though... What about the options that France have. How they didn't beat a side like Luxembourg is absolutely ridiculous. Once Deschamps manages to click the right notes on the amount of players he has to choose from few will be able to stop them. One thing's for sure, Giroud is the odd one out in all of that.
