France taking too many long shots but their build up looks nice when they give it a try.


Platini will make sure none of Sakho & Giroud will be suspended...

Any chance Giroud and/or Sakho get suspended? They definitely deserve it, especially Sakho.

Pogba with a nice run there. France lacking the finishing touch.

Been throwing elbows a lot- no big deal since the defender was doing similar, but at one point Giroud just turned around and shoved his face lol

I really like Enner Valencia, he's had a really good tournament.

France has looked really average here. But they were pretty much settled for the draw though, surprised the Ecuador coach didn't try to go for the win until the 88th minute when they needed 2 goals.

I'd like to see France play Lacazette up front as their alternative to Benz instead of Giroud.

No team has been convincing in every game, aside from the young Colombian side- we'll see how they fare later in the competition. Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, and France all have their weaknesses.

I so **** can't stand this or any French team for that matter. Even as a Madridista, I find it (kind of) hard to root for Benzema. Varane is the exception to the rule in this current French NT, I love that guy. <3

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

E + F are the flop groups. Even Argentina did not look good to me.
