    Seriously think I'd manage a clean sheet against France if they stuck me in goals.

    Absolute terrible in front of goal, some rugby outfit they'd be.

    It's like their saving energy to make sure they've got the legs to get to the final

    France have been the better team by far, but they just lack a cutting edge. An own goal a penalty from nearly 4 games considering the players they have is an absolute disgrace.

    Belgium employed the football version of rope a dope for this game

    France have been garbage. The Spanish and the Germans look leagues above from an attacking POV.

    It doesn’t say much for a game (as a neutral) that you are glad of a last gasp goal….

    … purely so you don’t have to sit through another 30 minutes of the *.

    Add in a deflected cross to the sublime goals.

    That goal has been given as on O.G. It looked on target to me. It shouldn't be an O.G

    France are stinking the gaff out but they are incredibly well organised.

    He never noticed his Klub was deid…. so missing a few deflections is nothing.

    France team looked old 2 years ago, it was going to catch up on them eventually.

    Yeah, I’ve only caught the odd bit here and there, but I feel like ever since they last won the World Cup I keep expecting them come to these tournaments and put on a bit of a show - but it never seems to happen.

    Like you said, from a neutral’s perspective they don’t make for a great watch.
