News: 26 mars 2015 - Stade de France France / Brésil ,29 mars 2015 France / Danemark

How is Sagna still on the pitch?

 

Still no subs from DD and it's 1-3.

 

This is busllhsit!!!! How many "just above average" players did Deschamps call up?? And the attack is siht!! Why do the players stall out on the wing, giving Brazil's defense time to get back and get set up??

 

Fekir should have started.

 

I know it was just a friendly, but the way France lost today was embarrassing. Pogba's influence in midfield was sorely missed. I was up celebrating when Benzema headed from point-blank range very early on -- he seems so unlucky when playing for Les Blues. I thought Varane took his goal very well. I have to say though that I am very surprised at how quickly Dunga has gotten Brazil to play well again. Let's hope for a better showing versus Denmark on Sunday...

 

Playing well against Denmark won't prepare us to win against the elite.

I was in class, so I just got around to watching the game (although I have a huge headache so I checked the score after Neymar's goal and saw it was 1-3 so I just got up and left it in the background), but it's annoying to see this kind of result. It's just a friendly, and definitely not revenge for winning a world cup final or quarterfinal, but all we have are friendlies so we really should be doing a lot better.

From what I saw up until Neymar's goal, Schneiderlin was pretty impressive. Benzema was a little bit underwhelming, but he's had a long season for Madrid, so I kind of wish Lacazette would have started. No one was really that great though.

The loss doesn't bother me, but seeing that **** Oscar score in Paris (Saint-Denis, but still) really annoyed me. Neymar's goal was very classy though.

 

I have to say that I didn't expect Brazil to play this well. History has taught me that when Brazil have a point to prove, they play very well. All France can do at this point is learn from this game. This team is still growing. It will be alright.

 

The midfield did not look good at all, to be honest. I can't wait for Pogba to return.

It was nice seeing Zidane, Titi, and Vieira. Zidane looked very sleek and handsome in his suit.

Matuidi better be benched against Denmark.

 

Also, no one wants to say this because we all love Varane, but we need to start thinking about experimenting with other talented CBs who actually play club football. Varane is one of my favorite players and he has the biggest potential out of all our CBs (IMO), but being on the bench will not be conducive to a good Euro. Hopefully he either starts playing more or he goes elsewhere.

He was not bad today, this is just something that struck me. Sagna and Sakho though... ugh.

Laporte should have been called up this time.

 

Zizou, Henry, and Vieira all looked like they could still get it done on the pitch.

 

Oh no, they definitely won't be a walk in the park. I'm just saying that we should be able to beat Brazil if we even want to entertain winning the euro.

But yeah, we have a year, so it'll be okay. I have faith!

 

Has Sagna ever had a world class performance for us? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Btw, I thought it was an excellent performance from Thiago Silva.

 

He was the best player for France today.

 

We're asking ourselves the same question about Evra for ten years now, y'know.

 

It's mind-boggling that Evra is even still getting called up let alone playing after considering everything . Sagna had no business getting called up as he barely plays with his club and frankly isn't that good .

Sissoko isn't good enough at this level . A very limited player . Not surprised at the result given that these 3 jokers all started . Line-up was garbage

Well done Deschamps . His subs were utterly pointless aswell . Waiting until the 74th minute to make changes .

 

You were the one who said to trust DD a few pages back when I said Evra should not be called up anymore or at least shouldn't be a starter.

 

Sure seems that way. The question is, what will DD do against Denmark?

 

Valbuena just doesn't seem like the same player since his $tupid move to Dinamo Moscow.

 

Yep. It's not contradictory.

 

I cannot stand him (not even because he used to play for Marseille) and I'll be really frustrated if he's in the starting lineup for Euro 2016.
