A tier below Germany and Spain, but better than Argentina. Bit better than France as well.


I think France would blast them

On paper they are a more well rounded team.

They both of inconsistency in common, so who knows which team shows up.


France has one major issue

They aren't a team and don't seem to ever play like one. That falls directly on Deschamps, IMO.


He gets roasted by the French media.

and still using Giroud as a pair to Griezmann. The way they lined up yesterday, 433 with Martial/Mbapbe/Dembele and Pogba as an 8, not a 6 is probably their best bet.

But he'll pigeon hole to a 442 with Giroud in there still and Pogba playing in a double pivot.
