Tommy 5,623 Posted May 17, 2018 That's a long-ass standby list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mel81x 2,321 Posted May 17, 2018 That attack lineup is very very good and at the same time has a lot of youthfulness about it as well. I hope they do well at the WC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero 3,973 Posted May 17, 2018 Rabiot as standby. What a pisstake. Griezmann Dembele---------------Mbappe Pogba---Kante Nzonzi Mendy---Umtiti---Varane---Sidibe Lloris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chaaay AFC 339 Posted May 17, 2018 Very strong squad, surprised Rabiot didn't make the final cut though. Overall should be definitely be competing for the trophy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 11,581 Posted May 17, 2018 Should have Rabiot in for Pogba. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6666 859 Posted May 17, 2018 Their standby list would walk into our squad. No Lacazette is a surprise especially as he's been in good form at the perfect time going into the tounament and also because they only have one proper striker in there with the rest being second strikers and wingers. Adil Rami making it in is ridiculous though, obviously wouldn't have made it in if Koscielny was fit but even then Sakho, Zouma & Laporte are all better than him.

SirBalon 2,607 Posted May 17, 2018 For me France's attack is the best in this year's World Cup but their midfield is run of the mill at best. I also think their defence looks rather suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Palace Fan 2,020 Posted May 18, 2018 The depth they have makes me feel sick. If they don't win something now they never will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny 1,310 Posted May 18, 2018 That side looks class, Mbappe, Griezemann, Dembele, Fekir, Lamar....N'Zonzi and Kante is a defensive pairing England could only dream of...if Pogba is at his best they will be a real threat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirBalon 2,607 Posted June 3, 2018 Front page of L'Équipe Ousmane Dembélé's stellar performance against Italy has had French sports journalists talking and writing ever since. Dembélé picked up his form dramatically in the last few games of the season for FC Barcelona (after returning from multiple injuries this season) and it seems to have been carried forward by the young player to the France national side in preparation for the World Cup. There were rumours that Barça may have been contemplating loaning him out with some even being so bold as to say they could sell him. But after his massive improvement right at the end of his first season at Barcelona and the performance for France, the Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu stated that under no circumstances has the club ever or will ever contemplate letting such a talent move away from the club. @El Profesor @The Rebel CRS 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
