Fordy62 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 On the contrary. I thought Germany were always in that game. Just lack of quality at the top. We’ve got enough fire power to trouble France. But we also have Mings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 So, we've now seen every team. Very early doors, but for me France just shade it from Italy with England in third. German old boys to struggle. Long way to go of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Enjoyed that, both sides willing to have a go. No matter what the commentator says, there was enough quality shown out there by both teams to terrify me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 So many sloppy misplaced passes from the Germans going forwards, France haven't dominated play but have shown much higher quality in moments. To be honest I thought Germany would win the group with home advantage but I was counting on people underestimating them which doesnt look to be the case. The disallowed Mbappe goal was superb, watching this group with interest as I can see England getting the 2nd placed team in last 16, based on what I've seen today I'm just thinking please not France.

Perhaps something less dangerous next time guys? Football has to distance itself form politics!

Alex_BCFC Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 France looked pretty good. Don't think Germany are up to much these days but it was a comfortable display by France who you always felt had more to give if needed. Can't see anyone beating them really.

maxjak Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I can't see France winning it, I thought they were decidedly average tonight. They will probably improve as the tournament progresses, but i can definitely see a side beating them. I was really looking forward to this game, but was disappointed, and I thought for two heavy weights, there were too many misplaced passes and a lack of ideas. But i guess any side with Kante and Mbappe always has more than a chance? But i will be backing either Italy or Belgium to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 France’s defence near perfect tonight. Made it look easy to keep Germany out. An underrated skill that goes unnoticed a lot. France could have won 3-0 but for 2 narrow offsides and then those who say they were just okay would be saying how superb they played. As someone who wants Germany to do well, once again Low got it wrong. Kimmich needs to play in central midfield and Werner has to start. Wanted him out 4 years ago so looking forward to when he finally leaves them next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Dutch"........is The Netherlands, 'Holland' is a region in the west of the Netherlands - like for example Wales is a part of the UK - I worked in the Netherlands for a few years and referring to the country as 'Holland' winds them up. I think that was what RedorDeadBCFC was meaning in his post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 It's so early still, no team wants to fly out the traps yet. You want to peak later, so we won't see the best for another 2 weeks or so. That said France looked comfortable, good in possession, defensively sound and had 2 goals ruled out by small margins. Early signs of better things.

Good for them and as others have said their defence was very solid. Always build from the back as Nigel reminded us all yesterday. Thought they may have qualified for a tournament back in the 50's or maybe early 60's. Your post did prompt me to check, but yep sure first game and first win- first goal and clean sheet too. Built from back and took their chance when it came- very solid like you say and now have a realistic chance IMO of progressing into the last 16.
