Yorkie Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It wasn't a classic performance from either there but I think it's clear that France are still very much the real deal. Varane, Kate, both so solid, Mbappe terrifying on the break. That was 3-0 really, which is a lot more emphatic and would've had the rest of us quaking.

Doctor Zaius Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Would fancy us to do Germany based on tonight. Lacking a bit of quality. France terrify me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye as soon as we meet France its owa so hopefully avoid them last 16 to keep the fun going for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Germany have been a bit of a spent force for a while now. Should've dropped Lowe after 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know the manager left him out a few times but surely Germany still don't need to be playing Muller, especially leaving him on for the whole game. Albeit I haven't watched him much in the Bundesliga recently Think he's the worst good player I've ever seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Pogba was unreal today. Disappointed for him as much as I am Mbappe and Benzema for having the goals disallowed. He started them. Edited June 15, 2021 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante with either Rabiot or Tolisso gives him so much freedom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Germany looked a bit ordinary last night, France look powerful tho. France has so much depth, i dont think anyone can match them for squad strength. The crunch game in this group will be Portugal v Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Funnily enough, thought Pogba was a bit too clumsy for that offisde goal. But, in the main, he did have a good game. France should be going far this tournament, was a good performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I spent the game watching Mueller for the most part. Absolutely facinating watching him just drift around, looking for space. Obviously he didnt have the best of games but I'm sure he'll come good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Confused by whatever that system was by Germany but I guess anyone would struggle when France have Kante and Pogba in that form. I mean Pogba in that mood is unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sense that he just drifts around hes almost a luxury player, but his end product as @Disco pointed out is excellent so hes anything but. Under rated i feel.

Read so many articles about trying to understand his game. If you look at his physical skillset and ability on the ball, it is not that great. There is this great line about him in a guardian article "Müller can’t beat you with his close ball control, he can’t beat you with his pace, and he can’t beat you with his dribbling skills. He just beats you." Two really good articles about him if you are interested: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/feb/23/thomas-muller-modest-assassin-bayern-munich-germany#:~:text=In%20other%20words%2C%20M%C3%BCller%20can,a%20legendary%20namesake%2C%20Gerd%20M%C3%BCller. https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/03/31/thomas-muller-the-first-and-possible-last-ramdeuter/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
