That's Deschamps for you, he again stressed how much he values previous NT experience, even though Zouma has precious little. He will keep playing scrubs like Rami over Laporte for that reason

Golden Generation of Golden Generations.

It's crazy that they have potentially World Class talent in EVERY single position.

Yet that moron of coach doesn't take the best in the squad. with Deschamps i'm sure we won't beat Netherlands.

They don't need Benzema. In fact Madrid are lining up Mbappe and will kick out your hero.

Get ready to support Arsenal or something from next summer.

Tonight was the best 11 in action with the caveat that Giroud played over Lacazette (who I fear Deschamps will bench in the WC)

Lloris : good, won't improve
Mendy : very good, potential is world class
Umtiti: very good, potential is world class
Varane: good, potential very good
(Koscielny): good, won't improve
Sidibe: good, potential very good
Kante: very good, potential excellent
Pogba: good, potential excellent
(Rabiot): good, potential very good
Lemar: very good, potential world class
Mbappe: world class, very little room for improvement
Dembele: excellent, potential world class
(Griezmann): excellent, won't improve much
(Lacazette): excellent, won't improve much
Giroud: Giroud, potential Giroud

Giroud, potential Giroud

Mbappe will surely improve though, too young not to.

same jokes every year, still funny tho. Mbappé will never take benz's spot. And one defeat vs Netherlands its over. Deschamps likes to play with fire, he will put the same team that played vs Sweden.

 

[KingMessi]

Not even when Benzema retires?

 

[Benzema10]

the only players that could improve in this team are Dembele, Lemar, Umtiti and Mbappe a little.

lol bro madrid would toss benzema into a shredder if it meant signing mbappe...talk about deluded fanboyism

 

[Benzema10]

Many are thinking NT is over for benz, he'll be back after the world cup. There is still a small chance for him to make it for the WC 2018. Example, France finishes 2nd and plays vs either portugal, italy, Spain, croatia, Ukraine, Deschamps will then think of getting back Benz. Also there is still 10 months left for the final list.

They are my favourites to win the world cup next year. Huge talent pool.

For the first time ever I agree with you.
