While people were still bigging up France, i announced yesterday that Lenglet would be playing with Kimpembe deported to the left wing as a left back.
It would take a miracle for France to win this competition.
I know but they can do that when they have iron clad defence. Kimpembe is already not the best CB out there but put him as LB and it can become funny. They will need to play to score with such liabilities.
France best chance is to score now. They lost Hernandez, the most Atletico defender and prolly the best defender of this team.
France might play Lenglet/Varane as CB and Kimpembe as LB.
France have many injuries. 6 injuries, has any other team got so much injuries ? No left back left. When you see the mare Kound? had against Portugal, it can be really abused by a decent side.
Big heart from Belgium defending and big heart from Portugal pushing.
Not quite what we expected with Portugal used to defensive masterclass and scrapping through and Belgium attacking prowess.
