  • Griezmann i can understand, he was poor in the first game and Martial is a pretty capable replacement, but i'm very surprised he's dropped Pogba.

    Griezmann and Pogba dropped. Pressure on DD tonight.

    Looking forward to this now - pretty attacking line up from Deschamps and he'll get a lot of flack if it doesn't come off.
    They're playing Albania... If they dont win he'll get a lot of flack regardless of the line-up
    Played them twice leading up to this and drew 1 lost 1.
    Yep, I think the French see them as a bogey team so are looking to a big win in this match.

    The atmosphere at the Velodrome is something else

    Are ITV broadcasting from a toilet or something? Sound is awful.

    I think it's just Glenn Hoddle's voice.

    Oh it was, didn't have a second to comment on it during the game it was that good.

    Tbh The second half was ok. Just difficult to get exicited about either team.

    Never realised how many decent top flight players (Italy, France, Germany) Albania had. No pushovers.

    Missed the start of this. Why is Pogba not playing? Thought he played really well in first game.

    Rooney syndrome. Everyone in France thinks he plays in second gear when he's in a French shirt, simply because they expect him to perform miracles.

    Albania looking solid, determined and the better tram imo at half time.

    France look off the pace, not forcing themselves to match the levels of Albania's competitiveness. Giroud dropping too deep says alot.

    That pitch looks really poor aswell.

    Noticed that pitch too. Cutting up in places and looks a bit bare on some bits when they go to the overhead cam.

    Unlike England though, France have never been scared to drop a big name player for perceived poor performance.
