France ADVANCE past Belgium 🇫🇷 But did they deserve the win? | ESPN FC

[@NYs9thwonder]

Theo Hernandez, pulled a Maldini there with his tackle.

[@TheDYNAMITE001]

The biggest strength of France is that nothing goes through them into their net

[@nyaakewebo]

Well, if they didn't deserve the win, then sure, Belgium didn't deserve it either. Someone has to win. The person who won deserves it.

[@fm_CLS]

France vs Portugal is going to be suspenseful and thrilling. Both incredible teams with immense talent and game changers. France have looked a shadow of themselves this tournament. 1 penalty and 2 own goals is what they have been able to produce. While Portugal have not been convincing themselves, they have more offensive danger and avenues to score. Slovenia was a brutal match for them as Slovenia parked the bus and waited for select moments to counterattack. I expect it to be more open against France, and maybe that provide the quality we expect of both of those heavyweight teams.

Our Africans are better than your Africans in this Euro 2024 tie

[@robertjansson7968]

Thrilling? I doubt it. Lineker once said that soccer is a game with 22 players and after 90 min germany wins. Now you can say that soccer is a slow, defensive game and after 90 min France win 1-0.

[@juliendunand6409]

Yes we deserved to win. We're horrible and ugly but extremely hard to play against. That's the whole point of Deschamps' tactics.

[@escape2nirvana]

Deschamps is just international terrorist ball

And classless, I noticed what mbappe did, not that I am surprised, French and class doesn’t go together

So it’s ok for France to scrape their way through but it’s not ok for England? Got it 👍

[@teebs90]

Thing is France may scrape through, but they win tournaments or make finals... unlike England. You are right though, media is having a field day with England this euro, and its a bit much honestly.

[@anuph.3806]

@@teebs90 nah, hard disagree, France don't need to prove anything to anyone, England is singing its coming home months before the tournaments starts, they have the most expensive squad in the world and produces the most boring, tedious to watch performances, if you are going to have that attitude, with nothing to show for, you deserve to be critiqued, as a German, France don't need to prove anything at this very point.

[@conolade3290]

France still control games, England don't! They are much better than England at pressing high up the pitch and defending as a team, as well putting passes together,. As boring as France have been so far England hasn't played half as well. Big difference!

Griezmann and Rabiot want to play riding a Rascal for the next game. Standing on their feet, even more so running, is too much for them.

is France the most boring team ever?

[@robertjansson7968]

This tournament is so incredibly boring. Hardly any team that wants to score a goal. France with the best players in the world are playing 10 players on defense!? I sure hope spain or germany wins it because they are the only teams playing offense.

100% agree

Copa America is more entertaining.
