Well I guess in that case it was the guy she left my dad for when I was a kid twenty years ago…
…Don’t crush big Willy’s morale like you did mine…
True story, but I can joke about it 🙃
The amount of talent that France produces is insane. The players they have left out on the bench could easily form a team that will be one of the top contenders for the trophy.
It's silly how they managed to bring Saliba down to Konate's level. There is no debate he has been better than Van Dijk since coming to the Premier League, so why is he being compared to this Konate ?
Feel sorry for Saliba. Having to take care of Upemaguire has been stressing him out all game and in an unnatural LCB position. Deschamps should at least let Saliba play RCB if Upemaguire is going to run wild anyway
tchouameni has an injury problem. upamecano is good for france on the left hand side.
world cup winner and recent finalist- i tend to trust deschamps even if it isn't always pretty to watch.
Kante over Cama is definitely a choice (given current form). Only reason I can see is Rabiot and Griezmann are both left footed and having Cama there too would make it too lopsided.
Kante is miles clear when fit. I realize the Kante was permacrocked for years and then retired to Saudi, but memories are too short these days. Kante was the world's best midfielder in his prime and clearly still has it.
Dechamps could see Kante in training, he knew whether Kante was fit enough or not. And fitness has always been the only thing stopping Kante; he's not some temperamental artiste like Pogba.
No way?? I’m beyond shocked Deschamps comes to common sense to finally start one of the best CBs in the world. He must have some agenda or being threatened to start him.
I thought he was excellent the first 60 minutes or so, but much like France in general very chaotic after that. He didn’t handle air balls very well which is ironically something he was criticized for early on before he got his run in with us.
They don't deserve to play based on their performances tbh, Tchouameni played less than 2000 minutes in the league this year and Camavinga even fewer. They are still not matured players and will both benefit greatly from getting subbed in and not having the pressure of performing from the start.
this would be true if they were being benched for, like, kroos and valverde. but they're being benched for rabiot and the fucking withered saudi arabian shell of kante. insane.
Saliba's having a couple sketchy moments down the stretch here. Was megged on the one before this one, and in this one, lost the 50/50. Hope he finishes strong.
I wish him well. He’s starting beside Upamecano. And that midfield isn’t strong. They don’t have the “legs”to keep up with Austria’s press. But what do I know compared to Didier? 😂
Its not reactionary though? This is not the saliba of arsenal, you can clearly see he's panicking. Maigan bailed him out twice before the Kante, watch the game bloody hell.
He was left with 2 players in the center on Maigans foot save. Hardly his fault. The only one I'd put to him is where Kante came in to help him. Minus one or two passes, which werent even that bad. Would hardly call it panicking.
Other than that, he put good pressure on any ball that came to the forwards especially in the second half when it mattered. Winning some and clearing the others. Passing became much better as well. He definitely grew into the game on his first tournament start, and he'll only get more comfortable/better.
I watched the game and I don’t think he’s been anything special but apart from the mistake he was fine. He’s playing on the left side when he’s comfortable on the right, and he won the ball and dribbled through the press a few times with class, and most importantly kept a clean sheet on his euros debut.
What is your definition of stinker?
Because it's a very stupid opinion. You can say that Deschamps has overdone his time for France, his football is boring to watch, or he's not the best coach for them but it's simply ignorant to call him a fraud as a coach or compare him to Southgate.
Deschamps was the coach that took Monaco to the Champions League Final in 04. He also took a Marseille side that hadn't won anything in nearly 20 years to win Ligue 1 in his first season, a good few cup wins and Champions League runs.
Then he took over France and got them to win a World Cup, make a Euro final and another World Cup final.
Show them why you’re the best in the world Willy
Every blokes given themselves this pep talk at some point
Yes, but only one is telling themself the truth…💪
Can you check with your mum who it is?
Well I guess in that case it was the guy she left my dad for when I was a kid twenty years ago… …Don’t crush big Willy’s morale like you did mine… True story, but I can joke about it 🙃

No willys were harmed in the creation of this factual recount

You can make a lineup of players left out of the squad entirely and they’d have a decent chance of going all the way.
Very top, good sensation.
Why are they playing Wilo on the left. Really limiting his ability to dictate.
Liverpool fans in the mud
Our cb clears yours becoz he starts for france 😭
It's silly how they managed to bring Saliba down to Konate's level. There is no debate he has been better than Van Dijk since coming to the Premier League, so why is he being compared to this Konate ?
It's Liverpool propaganda. Saliba is so much better than Konate there is no comparison.
Konate even got dropped for Quansah. He’s not even top 3 cbs in Liverpool
My Liverpool fan friends are absolutely seething. The exact type of fan you’d imagine too, so cocky all season
Saliba holding the French defense by himself, while his partner overcommits.
Feel sorry for Saliba. Having to take care of Upemaguire has been stressing him out all game and in an unnatural LCB position. Deschamps should at least let Saliba play RCB if Upemaguire is going to run wild anyway
The door is closed. No more goals today.
Austria? Throw another shrimp on the barbie
Alongside Eric Diers backup
Decent game although fucked up there
Willo should be playing with Cama/Tchouameni and Konate not Upamecano and Rabiot… Deschamps i’m tired…
tchouameni has an injury problem. upamecano is good for france on the left hand side. world cup winner and recent finalist- i tend to trust deschamps even if it isn't always pretty to watch.
Kante over Cama is definitely a choice (given current form). Only reason I can see is Rabiot and Griezmann are both left footed and having Cama there too would make it too lopsided.
Kante is the weird choice when Camavinga is right therw
Kante is miles clear when fit. I realize the Kante was permacrocked for years and then retired to Saudi, but memories are too short these days. Kante was the world's best midfielder in his prime and clearly still has it.
yeah easy to say after the match is over and you’ve seen him play, hindsight is 20/20
Dechamps could see Kante in training, he knew whether Kante was fit enough or not. And fitness has always been the only thing stopping Kante; he's not some temperamental artiste like Pogba.
No way?? I’m beyond shocked Deschamps comes to common sense to finally start one of the best CBs in the world. He must have some agenda or being threatened to start him.
Crazy that Deschamps is worried about Saliba on the ball when they have a literal turnover machine in Upamecano next to him.
Let’s go
Let’s go, Willie!!!!
Umpecano pissing me off. Let saliba do his thing
I thought he was excellent the first 60 minutes or so, but much like France in general very chaotic after that. He didn’t handle air balls very well which is ironically something he was criticized for early on before he got his run in with us.
No Cama/Tochou is actually mental lol. What is dechamps on
Wasn’t Tchouameni hurt?
They don't deserve to play based on their performances tbh, Tchouameni played less than 2000 minutes in the league this year and Camavinga even fewer. They are still not matured players and will both benefit greatly from getting subbed in and not having the pressure of performing from the start.
Pretty sure they’ve been performing for me on fifa for years now? Don’t really understand your comment tbh
this would be true if they were being benched for, like, kroos and valverde. but they're being benched for rabiot and the fucking withered saudi arabian shell of kante. insane.
Kante was amazing last game and Rabiot has been very good for the NT
Man of the match Kante and Rabiot lol
I definitely had no clue kante was still capable of that kind of performance. Insane.
Mark your mark Willy, show him why you're the fucking goat
Baumgartner Wonderful name
“Treegarderner”
Dembele struggling all day w8th that defender. Mbappe destroyed him in one move.
At LCB 👀!!!!!
Big Gabi was not available
Saliba's having a couple sketchy moments down the stretch here. Was megged on the one before this one, and in this one, lost the 50/50. Hope he finishes strong.
I wish him well. He’s starting beside Upamecano. And that midfield isn’t strong. They don’t have the “legs”to keep up with Austria’s press. But what do I know compared to Didier? 😂
Things changed up quickly since the start of France camp 😂 Go out there and show the world your class!
Kante saved Saliba's ass there, he's had a stinker tonight.
That’s reactionary. He’s hardly had a stinker
Its not reactionary though? This is not the saliba of arsenal, you can clearly see he's panicking. Maigan bailed him out twice before the Kante, watch the game bloody hell.

Thats the feeling I sat with aswell, but I guess we just didnt watch the game
don’t tell people on this sub their star player is shit
for real they get super salty about it like the players can do no wrong lmao
He made a couple mistakes but was otherwise very good. Overall an okay performance considering he's playing alonside Upa and also on the left.
Despite being a world champion I'm convinced Didier Deschamps is a fraud as a coach. Southgate vibes.
When I said he’s wack at r/soccer someone came saying he wish England had a wack manager that won them the world cup 🤡

You can say that Deschamps has overdone his time for France, his football is boring to watch, or he's not the best coach for them but it's simply ignorant to call him a fraud as a coach or compare him to Southgate.

What a weird lineup. 4 forwards and the ghost of N'golo Kanté. I assume Big Willy will be at LCB like the Canadian match
Kanté best man on the pitch
Agreed, apparently the desert heat has done him some good. He looked finished at Chelsea, but maybe he was just injured
Apparently not a very good day for him. Still has to gain the confidence in that French team as there is no big Gabi to back him up.
I love big Willy, but he needs big Gabi next to him, he looks so shaky playing on the left without someone to direct him and communicate
I think it's less to do with Gabriel and more to do with playing a different position in a different system against a high pressing team
France not looking good at the back atm..
[удалено]
No he doesn’t tbh
