Deschamps is a very stubborn coach......He left in form defenders like Konate, Upacamno, Theo Hernandez and Larporte out in favour of his 2018 WC Defenders.

Plus Benzema should have played longer

People will blame the players for their poor first half, but it was all Deschamps fault. He changed the formation to 3-5-2, a system they are just not comfortable with.
And when 3-1 up, he didnt make key changes to shield his midfield.

I feel for Mbampe. He had a bad tournament, but he was always dangerous. He is young and he will learn from this experience, but he needs to also learn to stop forcing the issue and trust his teammates.

Exactly what Mbappe needed. Star you maybe, but stars supernova, get your head down and graft. All the potential to be the next Plutonian, but what’s potential?

Today was amazing. Two great games. I feel for Mbappe. Kid tried to force too many things. He's not Neymar. Made some bad decisions when a simple pass would have opened things up. Deschamps is going bye bye.. Time for Zizou to take over.

If Coman, Dembele were fit, it would have been a different ending.

I don't get Griezmann. Dude makes some odd decisions in offense. Trying little flicks and tricks. Also how come France no bring Upemechano, Aoar, etc...

The most bizarre decision of lot was Mbappe opting to go with left foot when even a mermaid would’ve gone with the right. Incredible.

Had Sissoko or Mbappe down for a missed pen. Having left it till the last, as a striker, says a lot. Confidence gone.

Neither would’ve started.

The decision to play Pogba in a two-man midfield was beyond bonkers. It has never worked no matter the country. Deschamps took too long to adjust, but even then, managed to wrestle back passage into the next round. The second and third goal were ridiculous. Granted the defending was poor, but if Pogba doesn’t lose the ball in midfield, France go through.

Truly a Rohring decision.That was a Gernot Rohr™ midfield.

It has never and will never work. Put far too much on Ngolo’s shoulder, to the point he resembled an Orwellian Boxer on Animal Farm. Doc Hollywood can’t play in anything other than a three, the legs and lethargy don’t allow it. Huge scalp for the Swiss. Have they played their final?

The stars are aligning for England...First the Germans, then the Japs and lastly the Itals! Bish, bash, bosh!

I thought CE experts said good team don’t let slip on 2 goals lead. If this had happened to SE all the CE experts would have told us how useless the team is.

The same Italy flogged into defection in ‘45 (circa 43)? Bring them all on. Biggles and the bomb squad are back in town.

It wouldn’t have happened to the SE, they would’ve lost outright. :rotf:

France lost! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
I hate to say it but….,,.
I told you so!

I didn’t rate that team. Maybe now people will learn to look at the footie on the green grass instead of skin color or listening to “expert” pundits. :lol: :rotf:

The French 'team 'is not a 'GOOD TEAM' . That's exactly why they are going home! Stars don't necessarily make a good team.

Watch how the Swiss team BATTLED!

Correct and they were playing 'big man' football. Names don't win matches. They were too lethargic. Their defending was atrocious.

Belgium is the only one that I have loved their set up. Compact at the back and dangerous going forward. Against Portugal you will see like 9 players behind the ball when defending.

France gave out free headers like hampers today

Come on now, OK we know they lost on penalties and everyone will now come with hindsight comments, but this same team was good enough to win World Cup not too long ago.

They were a good team then and are still a good team now.

Credit to the Swiss.
