    I dont think we're ahead of France though.

    Aside from VVD and Frenkie can you name one Oranje player who could start for France??

    Truthfully there is incredible hype around many French players, but currently take a look at their Defense, and even Hugo Lloris in Goal who is certainly on the back end of his career so there are indeed many questions here.
    I would say they have lots of potential but for me other then M’Bappe I don’t worry about any of them.
    I respect their talent and they are legitimate contenders, but quite frankly I’ve seen better French teams and players in the past.
    I really like the talent base that is coming through for Oranje, and let’s see what happens with their development.
    Some comparisons in my opinion I’m taking Memphis over Griezmann or N’ Kunku and I would take most of Oranje defenders over Kimpembe who I don’t rate at all, but I don’t know who Deschamps is going to settle on with a few of his squad.
    It’s quite possible that the Manager himself is probably quite stale and needs to go.
    There are rumors that Zidane wants the job so perhaps that will snap France to another level but as things stand there is nothing to get all that stressed about with France or anyone else in my opinion, and like I have said before I’m watching quite a lot of the bigger international matches so I feel good about Oranje as long as VG gets his squad right.
    That is very concerning to me as he is not evaluating his talent pool properly.

    I admire your conviction, there is no way I wont watch the games.

    Will you at least watch the highlights?

    It seems to me that both changes give an advantage to deeper squads. So this should help Holland in the group stage. Maybe less so in the knockout rounds.

    Agree. For me, its 11am instead of 5am. Much better. And, yes, also an acceptable time for a beer or three.
