Thats how he plays every game. The only inconsistent one u need to worry about is Pogba

Kanté is the definition of consistent. Very rarely will he ever have a bad game.

Yeah I said my wording was weird. The inconsistency was more to Pogba.

More of making a point if the 2 of them are locked-in for the tourney, France is going all the way

This France squad is stacked to death. They're like the Golden State Warriors of this sh*t

France has not won anything in 18 years.

France has the perfect team to expose Spain’s tiki taka bullshyt. High press,solid midfield and defense. They would Swiss cheese Spain’s backline.

Nah, much as I hate him Ramos is a massive defender and a GOAT level troll. Pique is probably the best long passing defender in Europe, meaning that trash level clearance on the goal we just saw prolly doesn't happen. The midfield wouldn't leave the defense exposed.
Part of what gave Peru the advantage in the first half was their pressure and possession in the first 20 mins or so. Most people forget about the pressure aspect of Tiki-Taka...if there's a team made to BEAT France, its Spain.

It literally would come down to who's midfield triumphs...Busquets, Inesta, Isco, Villa vs Pogba, Kante, Tolliso, Matuidi...

I give that to Spain easily if it wasn't for age.

The points/ranking system in this shyt is always so confusing to me...

How is France basically already kinda locked into the knockout round with only 1.5 games played..or am I hearing wrong

This nikka Farfan only has 83 caps breh been playing for what seems like forever

Kante is an incredible player. To think Leicester bought him for cheap change from France years ago

Football is full of stories like that, he is a late bloomer (wasn't a prodigy like Ben Arfa, abou diaby clairefontaine France's prestigious academy) and his stature was a concern but dude is a relentless worker very humble

4 teams per group, everyone plays eachother once.

win = 3pts
draw = 1pt
loss = zero


So far Peru has lost, if they lose here there is NO way for them to earn enough points to go through even if they win their final match.

Stupid mistakes almost caught up to France right there

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Hell of an attempt...goddamn that was a strike

 

[TrueEpic08]

Juuuuust missed...

 

[Dayco23]

that was almost upper nasty

 

[TheFryingDutchman]

So close Peru

 

[jfkennedy]

Peru is bound to score eventually. France will need at least two goals to win this I believe.
