Speed of thought is definitely one that sticks out watching him. I get the point TCD is making about not having great passing ability in terms of distance, or accuracy over a distance of sliding players in etc, but what he does seemingly have is a really impressive short pass under pressure. Like Joe and Bruno tbf he looks like a high turnover player with the ability to put himself in trouble and play a quick, smart, simple pass out. Looks like he often looks to receive it after too and look forward. Im excited.

Have France ever had a poor generation of players? Even the one's that hadn't achieved the heights, had some crazy talent, even our own super talented Ben Arfa was nothing but a fringe player. I remember they didn't qualify for USA 1994, but even then, they had Ginola, Cantona, etc

No not recently cause they probably have the biggest pool of players with their African/french WW2 history.

C.82 was the first really good French side.  Prior to that they weren’t much cop.

Did Bruno not do his medical here? Genuinely can't remember

Nah it was a bit of a big story that we sent a medical team to Brazil to do it.

You know when you watch Modric or Pirlo it was always like "this fucker is playing his own game here", everything becomes calm and simple. That's what he's looked like to me in this game.

 

Doesn't seem to fuck about with extra touches, just smooth and controlled.
