    Seems mad that Deschamps has alienated him to this extent. France have good alternatives but no country in the world should be ignoring Laporte.

    They do have great depth in that area but it is still amazing. I assumed he had been cap tied by them.

    Must be a personal issue. Lenglet and Zouma are not better centre backs than him, but both involved.

    Look a bit light on goalscorers in that squad.

    Also Mangala has had 5 caps whilst Laporte remained available for France! Mental that they neglected him.

    Of the other home nations. Wales won't get out of their group. Scotland might pick up 3 points

    I'd forgotten about him. I assume most Man City fans wish they could.

    He’s only been playing in England for three years. Also not really a fan of recruiting players that way so would be weird if we did in my opinion.

    Varane looks shaky. Lenglet is decent. Hes better than umtiti. They have kounde upemecano zagadou

    Laporte and varane would of been a brilliant pairing

    he’s done a Diego Costa

    Turkey could be a dark horse. They have some excellent players. Alot of young players too. Their main striker is leading lille to the French title

    Kimpembe's a good player too, and Fofana looks like he's going to be class. Not sure I'd pick either one ahead of Laporte though.

    Kimpembe always looks a disaster waiting to happen. Fofana looks good. They have alot of class defenders

    Maybe I’ve just not seen enough of him but everytime I’ve seen Upemecano, I’ve never been totally convinced as yet despite the hype.

    Me neither. Rashford ripped him to peices. Sancho haaland did the same

    Not really a scary squad. Nowhere near as good as 2 to 4 years ago

    Not sure about that. Hazard is defnitely not at the level he was in 2018 and the spine of the team is aging. But Lukaku and KDB are definitely to be fully respected and they have quality players in most positions.
