France should drop giroud, and go with dembele, Griezman and mbappe up front, and just ping the ball around, and run around quite fast. I understand the theory behind picking a big target man in that formation, but giroud is not Harry Kane, or Didier Drogba.
I find myself uncomfortable with the tendency of a lot of pundits, to blame France not dominating games, pretty much entirely on the character of their players rather than on them not really having a coherent plan. which after 6 years in the job is on Deschamps. Peru would seem on the face of it to be a much better coached team than France. it's a pity that they are out, because Peru are definitely in the top 16 teams at the tournament.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 21-06-2018, 17:04.

Listen, I agree with you - and I agree with those critical of Deschamps's side thus far - but the reality is that he's qualified them for the knockouts in two matches.
With all the talent at his disposal, I'd like to see far more from France. Maybe this will happen when we hit the business rounds.

Peru going home, after a two page thread, what a let-down.
They survive the interminable South American qualifying, the interventions of lawyers and points deductions, then the intercontinental play-offs, the "will he won't he" Guerrero saga, and finally ... it's over within a week. After 36 years. Ouch.

Didn't watch it, was swimming. Forgot to record it too. Very sad for my Incas boys, I'm sure they deserved more than going out like that after 36 yrs of absence.
Was it Titicaca versus Pipi Caca (= was it shit?) or was it a pleasant game?

My wife has recently started to learn French properly (with a view to take French citizenship in a few yrs' time, there's a language exam now), she is not really into languages so she finds it hard to motivate herself but she loves music (plays a few instruments) and wants to improve her French that way (via culture, music etc.) so as part of her learning activities, to engage her a bit more I'm making her listen to various things and study the lyrics, one of them being MC Solaar's Bouge de là, his big hit (1991) with Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo. She loves it and listens to it in the car all the time now while trying to sing along. The words are easy to understand and the tune is catchy so she doesn't mind. Although we're not sure the exam will feature words/phrases and verlan such as "fatma chelou", "charclo" or "seins". You probably know that song:
