Preview


So, Group A, this group looks pretty straight forward on paper and i think it will be. France should be comfortable 3 from 3 here especially with how their fixtures fell. Switzerland should be able to beat Albania but maybe Romania could spring a surprise on them and take a point off them but i still have them in second position. Romania should be more than enough over Albania and take 3rd spot. That leaves Albania finishing 4th really struggling here.

And today it starts. I predict France vs Romania to end in a 1-1 draw. No hype for this group yet. :D

Opening games are usually rather dull, but maybe the larger margin for error in this tournament will make it more entertaining. I expect France to take this comfortably.

Romania allowed 2 goals in 10 matches in the qualifiers and France will be motivated to attack constantly. 0-1 with a goal from a counter.

I watched the first 20 minutes. I am not impressed either. Romania are doing well, but look very limited going forward. At most 3 passes, and the ball is back in french possession. It will be a disappointment for France if they dont win this, atm it looks like it might very well happen.

Ref advantage for France as host nation is already through the roof imho. Meh.

Interesting game though, Romania is certainly making it a close one so far. France clearly better but they lack in offense, some good ideas up until the penalty zone but then it's pretty lackluster right now.

How is it ref advantage? lol
I didnt see replay from griessman chance but it should have been either a penalty or a corner... I dont know what the Romanian hit, his leg or the ball

Because there is absolutely no reason Benzema was left out, no no. Just the stupid coach ignoring him.

France is a bit disappointing, it must not be easy to relax and play simple when there's so much expectation... Against this kind of team, they can pay the lack of risks the coach took, I mean, who plays with 2 DM these days? France has 2.5... Also they play with no wing backs since Evra and Sagna are kinda useless. I'm hoping for some Coman action in the 2nd half!

First half twitchy and nervous, as expected.

Pitch looks horrible, another con to opening ceremonies.

Hm well as always in these threads, we can't link particular scenes to talk about. I don't know what chance you're talking about but I didn't see any possible France penalties - but there was definitely a possible penalty for Romania in there. That and a lot of 'little' decisions going in their favor, cards and such. There was one non-offside that was called as such, however, against France.

Nothing shocking, just a penalty that wasn't given and some questionable calls in the midfield mostly. Just general bias that always seems to be there to support the hosting nation tbh. Not deciding the game quite yet, obviously.

How is Evra a starter for France? I'd rather have Ribery as left back than Evra -.-

Koscielny's foul was definitely outside the box no? Or what penalty do you mean?

France is a bit disappointing, it must not be easy to relax and play simple when there's so much expectation... Against this kind of team, they can pay the lack of risks the coach took, I mean, who plays with 2 DM these days? France has 2.5... Also they play with no wing backs since Evra and Sagna are kinda useless. I'm hoping for some Coman action in the 2nd half!


How is Evra a starter for France? I'd rather have Ribery as left back than Evra -.-

He's Deschamps' right arm. Most French people actually despise him. He's arrogant, led the crash in 2010, can't defend for shit, can't even help forward but still plays xD France doesn't have any decent left back to put him on the bench unfortunately. Clichy would be better but has never satisfied in the national team, Kurzawa (PSG) has no experience, Digne (Roma) has nothing special and Mathieu is injured (and somehow not appreciated in France).

Interesting game though, Romania is certainly making it a close one so far. France clearly better but they lack in offense, some good ideas up until the penalty zone but then it's pretty lackluster right now.


How is it ref advantage? lol
I didnt see replay from griessman chance but it should have been either a penalty or a corner... I dont know what the Romanian hit, his leg or the ball


Hm well as always in these threads, we can't link particular scenes to talk about. I don't know what chance you're talking about but I didn't see any possible France penalties - but there was definitely a possible penalty for Romania in there. That and a lot of 'little' decisions going in their favor, cards and such. There was one non-offside that was called as such, however, against France.

EDIT:

Nothing shocking, just a penalty that wasn't given and some questionable calls in the midfield mostly. Just general bias that always seems to be there to support the hosting nation tbh. Not deciding the game quite yet, obviously.


Koscielny's foul was definitely outside the box no? Or what penalty do you mean?

Also, I meant the second Griessman chance


Haha that's what I mean, would be epic to have the same images for us to talk about. I don't remember the chances by their number unfortunately. Either way, I wasn't trying to say that this game is dominated by the ref or anything. France is clearly better and deserves the win right now. This is not nearly as bad as BRA-CRO in the world cup 2014 opener as far as ref advantage goes IIRC.

Yeah sure...

And stupid federation. The two main reasons.

Nobody in France wanted to see him play so I don't know what you are arguing about x) It's not like he's ever been good with France. France plays better without him. And yes, he's far superior to Giroud, everyone not blind knows that.

Sorry you see Benzema with your Real fan's eyes, but in France he's not liked. There were surveys and 80%+ didn't want to see him play for France after that sex tape scandal. If you had followed France's games in the past 5 years, you would know that he played maybe 2-3 good games in total, not a single one against a big team. But you probably didn't see many games x)

Well, Giroud definitely used his elbow quite a bit there against the keeper in the 5-meter safe zone tbh. But at large I think the goal would usually be given by most refs so it should count. Deserved for sure.

That was outside the six yard box tho and he does have a right to the ball, I'm not sure that has to be called a foul.

I think it was just outside the 5 metre zone.
To be fair to the ref, there is no way he can make decision were nobody will complain here.

I guess I was wrong, I thought it was inside. They're not showing a replay right now unfortunately. That would be a big difference. But yeah, I agree, definitely needs to be a goal if it's outside. Not giving it would be very strict and pretty ridiculous.

Yep, good call, have to revise my opinion about the ref. Clear penalty, incredibly unnecessary, the ball was long gone at that point I'd say. Keeping it tense, tho, which I like! Pretty cool game that is developing.

Nice find. Yeah, very close. Ultimately, you have to make a decision as ref and I still think it was the right one. The other option would've been more controversial honestly. Happens.

While im not saying he has played very very well surely you take Matuidi off cuz u want to be more attacking to get a goal. Coman for Greizman doesn't even make sense too, that is France best player.

A french commentator said something that made sense. With 4 forwards, keeping the 2 most defensive midfielders is better for balance. Imo it's good that Deschamps isn't afraid to sub the stars out if they underperform. And he's not famous for being a risk taker...

Good shot, not convincing by FRA so far whatsoever but a win is a win. Sad for ROM but really, they didn't create enough chances. There was very little flow from the midfield forward to the offsense. A penalty and then hoping for a draw wasn't enough.

Bad game from France but this kind of win can be a huge boost for the rest of the tournament. Especially considering the easy bracket they'd have finishing first.

Good news for France to start with a win with all the drama already going on in the country. Would be fun for Romania if they had kept the draw but Payet played such a sick game and that goal, just wow

Looking forward to watching more Romanian teamwork, I love seeing a cohesive defense that isn't just "park the bus". If only they could get their firecrackers lit.

Maybe France will perk up later? The potential is there.

Well the CL this season proved us that anything can happen in a tournament like that. It's not always the best team that wins. France has an easy bracket, and winning 2-3 big games at home isn't unrealistic.

Meh. That's not false, but there's only so much you can do during the span of a tournament. And my bet is that France will steamroll Albania and Switzerland without breaking a sweat because they're really weak, and thus won't build anything because they won't face difficulty. And then, they'll get shredded by the first good team they meet.

Performances like this make me think that this tournament is wide open.

France looked incredibly poor for most of the game. Against stronger opposition, they may crumble. Then again, this may be a morale booster. The overall point though is that if the rest of matchday 1 goes according to plan, France in no way looks like a clear favorite over the likes of Germany/Spain. They look to have quite a few weaknesses as well.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

a quarter would be good, a semi would be excellent (one of these result would be a success imo)

i think that's the real deal will be WC2018 (at least for me)

To you maybe, that doesnt make it true for everybody.

On the favorite topic, I don't see france the strongest team of the tournament, but they have enough to take it. They deserve to be called one of the favorite

I think people are being too negative about France's performance here. Romania didn't do all that much and it's not easy to break them apart. France didn't get a lot of space in the opposing half so they needed to combine well. And yes, they didn't show a form that will make the finals, but as a tournament start, I think it's fine.

Uh yeah, haitke, exactly that: 0-1 and then 1-0 x 6 or something. I surely hope it won't be that Spain again.

Nope, 10 albanian players were born or raised in switzerland. The 6 swiss players with albanian roots is correct through.

Also of the albanian starting11 3 play in the swiss league. In the swiss starting11 none plays there.

Back when there were all the struggles in the 90s around Albania, Switzerland allowed all the refugees to come in, while the EU did not. So in that time half of todays Albania moved to Switzerland.

This second half by Switzerland is so dissappointing. Gosh, even a draw would not be out of this world right now. And this vs 10 "Albanians"

Great game from Albanian side. Shame they couldnt score at least 1 from all those chances.

Swiss midfield is a mess. Only thing they have going for them is their full backs. Possibly the best pair in the tournament.

Well at least when you start with a team of super talented individuals you can build a team during the tournament

Meh. That's not false, but there's only so much you can do during the span of a tournament. And my bet is that France will steamroll Albania and Switzerland without breaking a sweat because they're really weak, and thus won't build anything because they won't face difficulty. And then, they'll get shredded by the first good team they meet.

a quarter would be good, a semi would be excellent (one of these result would be a success imo)

i think that's the real deal will be WC2018 (at least for me)


You are playing second biggest tournament in football at home. Anything other than a win is disappointing...

I agree.

Unfortunately our backline is awful, they stop all the momentum going forward because they can't do a proper pass, all our actions came from a midfielder retrieving the ball. Let's also not forget that Romania took only 2 goals in their last 10 games, our players were also super stressed. Deschamps coaching was good too imo, not afraid to get rid of a midfielder and bringing a 4th forward. I'm sure this team can turn into champions during the span of the competition and Deschamps is exactly the right man for it. There are no juggernauts at this competition and being the home team is such a big advantage, I already found the referee a bit weird but that's always the case with those referees usually working in smaller championships.

Matchday 2



Preview
A win for Switzerland here will see them qualify having already beaten Albania. Romania will be on the brink of going home with a loss here with only a potential 3rd place spot open to them if they win their last fixture and 3 points is enough for a best 3rd place finish.

So does each yellow card come with a pack of Panini stickers? Romanians are collecting those for no reason, again and again. Same in their first game.

That has too much to do with inconsistent refereeing than with romania actually playing more agressive.

Matchday 2



Preview
France can secure qualification with 3 points tonight after Switzerland were held to a 1-1 draw with Romania. The hosts will be in high spirits knowing that the 3 points takes them into the knockout stages and should take a lot of pressure off of them. Albania have to avoid defeat to keep their dreams of qualification going, automatically at least, if not a draw and a win in deciding game vs Romania could see them pinch 2nd.

Pogba and Greizman dropped, i would rather change the system a bit than put those two players on the bench.

Martial
Greizman Payet Coman
Kante Pogba

Matuidi should not play instead of Pogba that is shocking!

If I come late for work I don't get instantly disciplined. I simply work a little longer and it's fine.

i could have understand against romania as the pressure was huge in the first game, but right now it looks like there is no cohesion and the most dangerous team has been albania wtf

if it continues they're gonna score first on the second half

Nearly everything in life revolves around teams. Being late and wearing slippers isn't being a diva lol it happens all the time. I could see your point when they're late for training or whatever but this looks incredibly silly to me.

At least they're trying, it took only one hour. Now they have to find a way to play together in the remaining time.

There have been a ton of rule changes before this EURO, including:
- kickoffs can now be played backwards
- more rules about bad throwins, both hands need to be beside the ball, one hand supporting is not allowed anymore
- freekicks after offside now from a different position
- underwear has to match kit colors
- triple punishment - no red, only yellow if you go for the ball but accidentally foul the opponent in the box as last defender
- cards can be given before kickoff
- playing without shoe does not cause a freekick anymore, but is allowed until the next break
- GK moving off the line before the ball is touched on a pen get yellow, pen is repeated, if it fails
- when a player taking a pen stops down, he is awarded a yellow (that was the same) but the pen is forfeited (old rule: it was repeated)
- treatement of injured players on the field is allowed, if the foul causing it was awarded a card

There have been a lot more, but I forgot most of them But basically it is a major patch, almost an expansion.

e) ah sneirac posted some summary. But those are actually still missing a lot of changes.

They are not a favorite but it is not impossible. They are a very solid team on paper and their first game looked quite good.

We only know ugly wins anyway !

Still, I'm impressed by Giroud's performance so far ; he used to suck at every match (for the national team) and now he is doing pretty good.

Typical frenchies bashing their own team, it's really annoying. Ok they didn't play well but be happy with the result, it was not an easy match, Albania played well defensively.
I'm glad we won

Even though Albania didn't look too terrible, they are probably the worst team still. France didn't look very good most of the time, but I guess in the end only goals count. Spain also sucked at times last Euro.

A French fan and a Belgian fan were stabbed with a knife while watching France - Albania in one of the UEFA fanzones. The two offenders got away. Fanzones require access through metal detectors so it's unclear how they smuggled two knives in.

Bit embarrassing for UEFA. They've started an investigation.

Maybe by having ceramic knives with not much metal in them? (or alternatively, and much more likely, the job at metal detectors was badly done - anyone who entered in a museum in Paris in 2016 can attest that it's often the case)

Predictions:

Romania 1-0 Albania
France 1-1 Switzerland

Romania should be a bit stronger and I think they'll pull through. Switzerland is decently good and should be able to put up a fight against France and I haven't been impressed by France yet. A draw should be manageable for the Swiss.

Matchday 3



Preview
Final games to be played in Group A. Romania taking on Albania and France against Switzerland. Only ranking positions at stake in this group after Albania lost to France and Switzerland. If France avoid defeat they will top the group and take the 1st seed in Group A. Switzerland need to avoid defeat to put their mark on the 2nd seed, whilst Romania are hoping for a favor from France so they can sneak the 2nd seed and not wait for a best placed 3rd team. However it looks like France might be resting a few players so anything can happen!

Actually it's a great strategy to wear a jersey like that. Pulling the jersey is ineffective and leaves lots of evidence. Too bad the referee doesn't appreciate it

Shitty goods produced in poor countries because it cost less. The french jersey cost 85 euros and the workers gain 65 cent per jersey.

French jersey is nike I believe. Everybody is doing the same anyway, it's the reason of the world.

Clear penalty at the end... No wonder the swiss shirts are falling apart. The french players are holding like their life depends on it.
Also, the pitch was so bad, that the organizers actually painted it green before the match... Not kidding. they actually did it.

Depends on how you see it. I would say they avoided Italy until the semifinals. More importantly, I think France are likely to have the weakest quarterfinal opponent.
Also, Italy will probably have to beat croatia and germany/poland first, so it is by no means guaranteed that we willl see Italy vs France.

The options for Germany right now if the rest goes as expected:

1st: Ro8 Italy
2nd: Ro8 Spain
3rd: Ro16 France

Not really a boring path in there

Edit: England is actually the least likely option, France the most for 3rd place

Uhm, imho Germany is most likely to place 2nd in their group.
Poland will just murder Ukraine, while Germany will just try to efficiency win a 1-0 vs N. Ireland. And plop... Germany 2nd.

Can't believe people are complaining about the jersey quality. Isn't the holding the real problem? I've often thought that this is the way it should be, shitty materials that break if you hold. Easy way to cut down on what clearly is a foul

I was thinking about that WC 2014 qualifier game vs Ukraine, this tournament was actually ok for me. Probably the best refereeing on big events so far.

Yeah, everyone is saying that... And it's partially true. There are no big mistakes, or at least lots of them. But small mistakes, you can see left and right. And also the occasional big mistakes, that of course nobody talks about, especially if they are in favor of a big team.
