ESPNFC: #FRA team vs. #HON: Lloris, Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra, Pogba, Cabaye, Matuidi, Griezmann, Benzema, Valbuena.


Koscielny and Mangala are both better than Sakho.

not in dechamps head. Sakho is his vice captain too , so he's probably the first centreback on the list for him lool

Tbh real I woulda started Kos. Always does well against poor teams. Save Sakho for the giant nations. Kos always conceding 5 and 6 at a time.

I would have started Mangala, but Koscielny is better than Sakho.

Varane & Mangala is going to be a beastly duo in a few yrs.

For the last time, it was offside. Go to page 17.

I don't think what you are trying to tell me here is correct. In all examples it seems like for Xhaka to interfere with an opponent he would have to be in an offside position but he was onside. And otherwise please show me where you get that the interference of Xhaka counts as an actual pass.
The closest to this situation would be page 25, only that in case of Switzerland Drmic was onside when Rodriguez played the ball.

Anyway, the offside rules are very shady and not very well communicated. There's a million scenarios that could happen and the FIFA doesn't really give many examples.

kos shut down messi and the GOAT barca team at home with dgorou as his partner. Cmon bro lol , arsenal as a unit shipped in those goals , He was at fault for some of those goals but most of it was team shape ...and he left like 2/3 at half

saving sakho for big nations is a bad idea , there's going to be better attackers than dwight gayle you know? looool

That goal was legit. It wasn't offside. The ball was coming from Ecuador player.

Varane looking lively early on. Good stuff. Evra looks like he got rocked.

You're right. The rule i quoted doesn't apply here because Xhaka himself wasn't offside. I completely looked over that fact. Sorry to waste your time.
