They were pretty boring.

They tend to raise game vs bigger teams and take foot off gas in other matches.

It is a fast transition team that likes to sit back. Against lower opposition, they need to actually play against their nature.

It helps they have Pobga to launch perfect balls for their forwards.

Germany is Bayern in a large part, not surprising.

I would have liked a Kant? and an Hernandez at PSG though.

Bayern is much better than Germany. I like Hernandez too. Bayern actually has 4 French NT players (Hernandez, Pavard, Tolisso and Coman).

That German attack was awful. Germany has fallen off a cliff.

France is by far the best team on paper in this competition though. Just world class through and through,

Bayern is better ofc. They supplement the poor position in their national team with players like Hernandez or Lewandowski, not even a debate. Still, the skeleton of German national team is Bayern.

About Hernandez : he was unlucky witj injuries in previous year but he is THE player i have dreamt for PSG since 2018. The guy is solid both at CB and LB. Lucky Bayern...

What's fun to watch about parking the bus a la Atletico Madrid for most of the match? WC champion France, team with most talented squad in the tournament. Deschamps is a sorry escuse of a manager for serving this steaming pile of shite.

mate, are you eve sure you like football? There were some really, really fun counters by France during the match.

I wonder how VAR can miss that... And what about the penalty on Mbapp? ? Useless VAR...

The man was rubbing Pogba's chest as well. All that was left was to hit Pogba with that finger in the ass like Jara did for Cavani.

They played counter attacking and quite conservative football in the world cup as well, seems to work well for them.

Fun counters? A billion euros worth of players and all they could come up is fun counters? Sorry mate, just not my cup of tea.

Not denying that. It's that I despise big teams, that have the resources and play like that. And most modern day football is played like this. All men behind the ball to get the result.

I agree with that sentiment in club football, especially when teams like Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid or PSG do it, after having outspent most opponents using "un-natural" money.

In international tournaments I think all countries are entitled to play however they want, both because they can't do "anything" about their player pool and because they also have very little time to develop a good style and should probably be best to use what is easiest to play for the players they have at hand.
