This game is way better than I thought it would be. Quite entertaining.

Pogba won't be happy :lol:

Griezmann had a great first half but disappeared in the second. He may come on as sub if needed.

Albania have been as dangerous as France in the first half. Payet non existant. Attack playing like England. Play a 2 Giroud and Griezmann. Not that I care as long as Kanté isn't injured and plays well.

Albania outplayed France in the first half. Better defensive strategy and better plays/passing on offense

Cantona was right on the money about Deschamps.

Pogba is a selfish idiot.

Deschamps is a joke. No idea what he's doing.

Yeah, Deschamp is definitely drunk. There was no reason to take Coman out of the game.

He's called him all sorts over the years. I think he recently called him a muppet or something after a row about leaving out Benzema and Ben Arfa.

I feel for Albania here.

Second win, but this team is trash.

I don't feel as bad about England having watched all of the other so-called 'top teams', Germany and Italy aside.

Even Germany doesn't look like Germany from 2 years ago.

A lot of players retired from NT or are injured tbh. No surprise we dont look as good as in 2014.

They really shouldn't have expanded the tournament, tons of boring games by crap teams like turkey and Iceland. They're clearly outmatched and don't deserve to be anywhere near the Euros.

With the amount of talent France has they should be steam rolling everyone in there group. Deschamps is an idiot from the couple of games I've seen him and his subs make no sense.

He subbed in the win with Griezmann didnt he?

Maybe International football is becoming more like the EPL. The difference between players and teams is not what it used to be.

How anyone can say Iceland don't deserve to be there if Portugal do is the surprising thing.

What we need are rules changes to make the games more interesting. I'd bring in post match video to suspend some of the cheats who roll around looking dead when they weren't even touched (I'd bring in an in-match video ref but that'd be too much for some football supporters). Perhaps bigger goals to give us more goals or temporary sin bins for a number or severity of fouls.

Certainly teams trying to hold onto a 0-0 scoreline is not so interesting for supporters and more so for children and occasional football watchers.
