  1. I believe Deschamps wont change a thing, Kante and Matuidi doing the heavy workload clogging the middle (Modric and Perisic), Varane on Mandzukic.

    Respect the opponent, no arrogance please !, remember Euro 2016 final.

    He needs to bench Giroud.

     

    French medias asking for it too. I remember we won the WC in 1998 with a scoreless striker : Guivarc'h

    Deschamps uses him to make spaces a vailable for others to attract attention from the opposing team. The bad thing is that he misses great scoring opportunities.

    England shall prevail vs a croatian team which might not have much gas left in the tank

     

    Edit: Hazard claiming Belgium was the better team, what a joke ! and that "he'd rather lose with Belgium rather than win with France. We have the most entertaining game and the best style of play".

    Learn some sportsmanship from the country you're playing in sir, get over your disapointment.

    Belgium possession, 64% shots on goal 9, 3 on target, France 15,  5 on target. You had only one good scoring opportunity we had many, thanks to Giroud we didn't score more.

    He, Courtois and Kompany complained that we played defensively what a joke !, what did you do vs Brazil ? you just parked the bus !

    Last but not least he said : "It would be nice if France could get a second star" Much more classy !

    Congrats @FrFan

     

    I don’t have a clue how you’re in the final under that antwacky bellend Deschamps. But yers are so congrats and all the best Sunday.

     

    Hail.

    Deschamps is known over here for his luck (draw, opponents), today he coached well he got all the pieces to shutdown Belgium. Kanté and Matuidi on Hazard and DeBruyne, Varane playing like I never seen him before taking care of Lukaku. You know no one yet can stop Mbappé, and Giroud oh Lord ! how many scoring opportunities did he miss ?

    Now one more step left and also the harder. The arrogants sports medias already claiming this thing is ours ! It seems they have a very short memory and don't remember the last Euro. It's Deschamps job to make sure that doesn't happen again.

    Props to Gregory Dupont fitness and conditioning trainer who's been doing a fantastic job, but doesn't get the credit

    A respectable journo on twitter (can't remember which one of the ones I follow, some Guardian one probably) pointed out that in the beginning "it's coming home" was said with a joking tone. But now, it's like "oh ****, It's coming home!"

    ;)

    I'm of half French (my Dad is French) and I can tell you, you have no idea how big this France Belgium game is going to be.

    The French Belgium relationship is very much like the US Canada one in many ways: very similar peoples, very similar cultures, but

    one of them (Blegium) lives in the perpetual shadow of the other (France). When I was kid going to a French school in Paris (which I did

    for 8 years), I remember all the jokes the French kids would make at the expense of the Belgians -- that the Belgians were simple, that they're

    idea of haute cuisine was a plate of French Fries, that their navy was a joke because they tried to fit their submarines with screen doors -- and so on.

    So this is a big game for the Belgians, I'm sure: to come out the shadow of their more famous and more prominent rival.  

    True, les histoires belges, we don't do them as we did, I guess it's a thing of the past. These stories were kind of derogatory depicting them as dummies. 

    Belgian joke about us: do you know why the French chose the rooster as their national emblem? Because it's the only bird that can sing feet deep in the **** !:D

    Actually one of my best buddy (fitness coach) is from Belgium, they do share (Wallons only) the same life style as the people from northern France.

    C'est l'histoire d'un belge qui est puceau, ses amis pour son anniversaire décident de lui payer une prostituée chez madame Claude à Paris. Le Belge arrive chez Madame Claude, se présente c'est moi le Belge, Mme Claude lui demande de choisir une fille et de monter.

    Une fois dans la chambre la prostituée lui demande qu'est ce qu'il veut faire, le Belge répond je sais pas c'est la première fois, le fille lui propose un 69.

    Elle se met sur lui commence le 69 et au bout d'un môment lui pète dessus. Le Belge dit Oh non alors ! si c'est encore 68 fois comme ça !

    Host nations shouldn't get automatic bids.

    I believe it's a business thing, more people in the stadiums, more medias coverage, more money for MaFifa ;)

    Anyone give me a quick fill in since the yellow card to Meunier?  ESPN updating has shut down.

    He will miss the semi which is not a good thing for us

    That was the turning point of the game, HUGO BOSS LLoris back to his old self when it mattered the most.

    Props to the youngsters who didn't show any sign of arrogance, but focus and unity. It looks like Deschamps is building something.

    France’s defense looks incredible, but they seem a bit careless in some of their passing, possibly more of a testament to Uruguay’s pressure right now though.

    Quite surprising since Varane and Umtiti were the weak links before this tournament. I got to confess that they both improved individually and as a central duo
