The way France defend they don't NEED anyone going forward. The frogs are giving away free headers 5 yards out on set pieces.
Think that game will sum up the large majority of the opening games. Tight and nervy. Decent game for the first of the tournament.
Just finished watching the game on DVR. Knew the French back four, especially Rami would be suspect and have no idea why he's starting, let alone in the squad... Diego Poyet. What a player he is. France deserved to win I thought, but unlucky Romania couldn't get a draw. Thought they played to the best of their ability and maybe should've won based on the quality of their chances.
Oh God I've done it again Yes, Dimitri. Glad we didn't really pursue Diego. Haven't heard a thing about him in a year.
Granit and Taulant Xhaka are playing for opposing teams in this Switzerland v Albania game. Brothers on opposing national teams isn't new. I had that during Euro 2000 - Gary Neville was with England while Phil played for Romania.— Galactic Keegan (@GalacticKeegan) June 11, 2016
Switzerland blew so many chances with Albania being a man down, but still hold out. Can't see Albania getting out of the group with so many players on yellow cards and their captain suspended for their second match.
Skrtel elbows Vaughan in the face in the box, while trying to close him out for a goal kick. Very, very lucky that wasn't a pen and a sending off.
I can see Poland doing well. They, like Croatia, can cause the big teams problems and can beat most of the rest of the teams.
The fashion of the German staff has now come to matching grey t-shirts and black slacks. Quite comfortable actually.
Germany kills it off with a goal from Schweinsteiger. If any of them had to score then I'm glad it's him. Good person.
