    Thanks. I must have missed the memo! It doesn't look right though, does it?

    Sruck £5 on Albania here at 11/1. They've threatened a few times, and France will surely throw people forward looking for a goal.

    Well when you think about football when you're a kid, it's everyone up front because that's all anyone wants to do is score a goal. So playing with one up front goes against the nature of the game. In the very early days it was a 2 3 5 formation before they 'inverted the pyramid'. 5 3 2 actually looks more adventurous than 1 up front.

    They've been * poor in both their matches. Fancied them to win the tournament but they're going to have to massively improve.

    It's all about pressing the ball, Albania have looked much more eager, as soon as France press with purpose they look likely to score.

    Giroud should be sticking that away.

    Albania starting to tire now, will be a long 20 mins or so. They've worked so hard but it only takes one person to switch off

    Pogba is so great just behind the strikers, he got closed down too easily there running out of ideas

    Willie Collum, can't seem to have game without making at least one ridiculous mistake.

    he gives fouls when there was no foul, and then when a guy gets halved he tells him to get up.

    Albania passing the ball with nonchalance is a beautiful sight
