They say everytime a presenter farts on espn a el ral comment appears

Dechamps need to take lessons from Ancelotti on tatics

Is Tchoumanie still injured?

Despite some of the wobbles that they’ve had in recent friendlies, I’ve said it many times, I don’t see any country other than France winning the EUROs to be honest. They’re arguably the best team going into this tournament as their starting lineup is better than any team right now. A factor that helps them going into this competition is the fact that they’ve made it to 3 finals in their last 4 major tournaments meaning that they’ve been cooking something up in international football. They struggled at the last EUROs, in between that, they’ve reached 2 consecutive World Cup finals and they actually won the World Cup in 2018 not to mention the Nations League in 2021. BTW before you say it’s a Mickey Mouse competition, it counts as a trophy.

Anyways, France has a world class squad that has a mix of experience and youth and while they have an excellent manager in Didier Deschamps, if they want to win the EUROs, you have to work as a team combined with your reliance on individual brilliance because whenever you get very far in major tournaments, that’s where your superstars have to step up and deliver and this formula has worked out for them on multiple occasions. They have arguably the best footballer in the world in Kylian Mbappe and now that his future has been sorted out, he can play this tournament without dealing with any speculation and we know how good he is at his best when he plays for his country as he’s one EUROs away from a Ballon Dor, Antoine Griezmann has been such an influential player in their recent runs, they’ve always had a plethora of talent in attack and their midfield is better as well with the likes of Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchuoameni combined with N’Golo Kante receiving a surprise recall to the team and the fact that William Saliba isn’t even a starter speaks volumes about the quality that this team has. They have phenomenal defenders su ch as Theo Hernandez and Jules Kounde as well. Assuming Mbappe and Griezmann stay fit, the only thing stopping France from winning the EUROs is if they beat themselves.

Where France got it right is they went directly after all the Black, Biracial, and North African players who’ve immigrated from former French colonies over the past 1-3 generations. They’ve fully embraced the minority segment of their population who not only have the talent but the desire to succeed from immigrant backgrounds.

Final match of the tournament:
France vs Portugal

This is a tough group

As a French man , it’s a must to lift the cup on Germans soil…
Those who know knows..

I think France should Dembele and add a next midfielder.

Stevie, at 6:50 mins, think you were looking for 2 words: Harry Maguire:)
