You've gotta laugh at the hate for Greizmann here.

He's level with Sanchez in terms of talent and output IMO.

Does saying that he struggles with the style France play football count as hate?

Mirth

Gignac 😆

Gignac not exactly lighting the world on fire.

How have France taken this donkey instead of Lacazette or Gameiro?

Clrnc

Gignac has very clever movements but woeful finishing.

banduan

Gigsnack is a poor man's Giroud.

Gameiro in particular had an outstanding season and would give them something different. Very harsh.

poor man? they are much of the same garbage to me.

I wouldn't swap tbh.

Coman is still really really raw.

Great 2nd half showing from France but would have loved to see 11 v 11 in the 2nd half, think Ireland could have troubled them with their direct style of play. France need to rectify their issues with longs balls or set plays in general if they wanna win the damn thing. I think they really miss Varane's passing from the back. I hope they keep the team they started the 2nd half with in their next match but with Payet central and Coman out wide

Mirth

Not sure why Martial doesn't get a run out.

Clrnc

Ireland made the same mistake as us. Conceded a goal and just lost it. Should have continued to keep it tight and play safe. Instead they made it end to end and that's it.

Good that the hosts went through and all our Arsenal boys. Will they meet England or Iceland now? 😉

Yeah, strange omission.

Why is their commentary team consistently coming out with bizarre shite?

Yeah his decision making/delivery is hit and miss in the final 3rd but he does a lot of good things in other areas. Generally he's a nuisance to play against

Was an important factor this game, stretched Ireland and gave his team more space.
