Day 7: Tunisia vs Australia | Poland vs Saudi Arabia | France vs Denmark | Argentina vs Mexico

Griezmann's pass isn't that great, no other player on the planet (I'm exagerating) could have received the ball but Mbappé.

So if Griezmann fully took into account Mbappé's pace and placed it there because he and only him could get it, that's superb. But i think it was a bit misplaced.
It was even a bit weak for my liking. A bit further and it's a 1v1 vs the keeper
 
are we allowed to like Portugal's or will the anti-Ronaldo brigade get upset? :devil:
Seriously, I could make it out the other day. Will have to give it another go
I mean you should be cancelled for watching this world cup, although to some liking anything related to Ronaldo is probably worse than not boycotting the world cup.
 
I'm sure Clauss wouldn't have minded and would have deserved it even
He hasnt had a great season and he's more of a right wing back, since Deschamps seem to go with a back 4 he doesnt really fit the system but he could have been brought in just in case, especially since he knows the group, I agree.

Clauss wasn't the answer. There is too many CB specialist, one of them should have been Kalulu and the right side was covered.

True. It would have been an option anyway. Hopefully Kounde/Pavard stay solid
 
Great defending by Denmark. Thought France were going to score there for sure

Ya Kalulu was definitely the one that stood out to me. Clauss doesn't fit what they need at all.
 
This 3-4-3 doesn’t seem to work that well for Denmark. We can’t create anything and our wingbacks are really poor. Black holes on offense. Our striker gets isolated and we just don’t have many options going forward…
 
Cornelius is bobbins. Denmark are not as good as I thought they were. Wouldn't surprise me if Australia sneaked through as runners up.
 
France do miss Pogba's passing in behind quite badly, but him being injured is probably a blessing in disguise as in knockout tournaments you need midfielders with energy.

Deschamps always playing a new CB as a RB does make me laugh though. Not a bad thing as being defensively solid with the attack they have will see them not lose many
 
Great counter by Denmark but they lack this extra inch of pace to be really dangerous.
 
What a ball by Mbappe! Bloody hell he got the power perfect. Would have backed Giroud to score that.
 
Good shout. Completely forgot about him, reminds me of how Tomori was omitted from England too

It's the one thing that we really upset me with the team selection and also the past year. Both Mukiele and Kalulu should have been favored.
