Wissam Ben Yedder got snubbed
No doubt that midfield is highly suspect. Not a lot of experience there. I don't see France faring too well in this tournament. Obviously they will get out of their group but after that its uncertain.
Rabiot and vertout as a holding midfield pairing will do a better all round job for France than Pogba and kante , why ? Because they can both attack and defend , and can get goals , THE REAL PROBLEM IS DESCHAMP is a coward who does not like number 10s like zidane in his team , because, kilyan , benzema dembele
And adli or nodombele PLAYING BEHIND THEM AS A NUMBER 10 ,can win the world cup for France with assistance from kingley coman, I bet the French public can't wait till his out and zidane takes over .
I think Saliba starts over Varane, and Nkunku or Dembele over Griezmann…🤷🏻♂️
That French 11 ain’t winning a World Cup.
Griezman 🤙🏻
Midfield is talented young players but there's no experience players
Can France Lift their Second World Cup in a Row!
"I'm not only saying that because, Dani Alves is not really player".😂😂🤣
Pogba is a different gravy when he plays for France alongside Kanté. Even without Pogba and Kanté, the French team is still insane. The concern of them missing is valid though
no Mendy???? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Delemble should be starting he is playing better than most of the other players .
Looks like an African team from the names.
No experience at all in the mid field
He is overrated. Jonathan Clauss is better than him and he should become the call up to national team
I don’t see why Varane should start over Saliba. Varane has been very very poor this season.
My starting 11
GK:Lloris
CB:Varane
CB:Kimpembe
CB:Konate
LM:hernandez
CM:Camavinga
CM:Tchouameni
RM:Koundé
LW:mbappé
ST:Benzema
RW:Dembélé
Fekir would’ve been nice cam
Midfield and the defence is looking quite thin. Not sure Varane and Hernandez can be solid at centre back and the midfield lacks experience without Kante and Pogba
Dembele is a strikers dream partner, does all the work then sets u up. He’s done it with Auba and Lewandowski, Him and Benzema would be so dangerous plus Mbappe. Then again griezmann does very well whenever he plays for France
If I were deschams, I would go with 3-4-2-1
Canavinga and Aurelien will destroy other midfields.
Theo deserved this over Mendy every day of the week
They not winning without Umtiti
That line-up is very weak. Those wings will be exposed. Plus mbappe hates playing striker so he’ll be annoyed with his big ego
This is going to be easy for France.
Is the team really very french though?
Rabiot is playing really well at the moment strong pace and he can score
The midfield only part lacking. They’re good but they need 1 more creative person like pogba. Even Kante would be great
What happened to Mike Maignan ?
Is he injured ?
Nkunku should start over Griezman right be behind Benzema and Mbappe. Or they can go front 3 with Mbappe, Ben 10 and Demba upfront
In France there is absolutely no doubt that he will.
Did Craig said Dani Alves is not a player but a passenger?? 😂😂😂😂
That midfield is looking so poor apart from Tchouameni
I look forward to seeing Mbappe and Benzema play together
France has given up its favorite status with this lineup, quarter fina with luck…..
No Mendy? What a joke 😂😂😂
Where is milan goalkeeper? Mandanda really? Lloris is a wack goalie
That lineup looks awful, should be back 5 off pavard Hernandez konate/upamencano/varane with midfield of camavinga/Tchouameni and front three of benzema mbappe dembele
This is team is weak,it’s just full of favouritism and ego, how is Griezeman still playing for France, hope they get out early and bring in Zidane for a rebuild.
I used to see France as the big favorites, but the ludicrous amount of injuries and poor recent form has changed my mind. They still have great chances, but now I see Brazil, Argentina and England ahead.
why tf would they start Lucas Hernandez over mounds, upemecano, and konate
Giroud? Seriously? 😭
