We should force Atlético's hand, throw unreasonable money at them for Griezmann. He'd be a perfect fit for all of Giroud Özil and Alexis

Only problem is he's not that good on the flanks. He excels in a free role behind the striker, but where does that leave Ozil?

Wouldn't you say the same of Payet?

France would have had little trouble beating England.
They are a much better team than they've been given credit for on here.

Wenger gives most of his players free roles anyway, unless the players themselves have a narrow definition of their role like Walcott used to or Coquelin most of our players pop up wherever they feel like it anyway (Özil, Alexis, Ramsey etc)

Griezmann also has a very good work rate, I don't mind if he roams a bit as he always tracks back even when he plays up front in a 4-4-2

FFs what's Giggs doing on my telly

Not being fair for France.

This is the norm. A big team beating a smaller team easily. It's not a surprise.

England v Iceland game was more of 50-50 between 2 evenly matched also-rans

England going out definitely didn't deprive us of anything.

Giroud has had a great game, all the Arsenal boys turning up.

Lols. Happy to see France liven up. They'll murder Germany if they play with such freedom. Although Iceland have barely disembarked from their bus

Don't know about murdering them but I too think France are favourites, mostly because Germany will miss Gomez and Khedira. Hummels too but that's a blessing in itself, Mustafi is a much better defender

Ooo, nice goal from Iceland.

Well theyve pulled one back...

Good finish.

They have scored in every match and it continues here. Very neatly worked goal

Sigurdsson one back. The comeback's on!!

Giroud again.

Giroud! he's had a really good game

That's not really a yellow card. Poor Bjanarson, going to be hard to play against Germany now that he misses the next match

G-g-g-g-giroud

That's the first time I've ever heard a French crowd boo as Olly is subbed oFF
He's winning them over
