Looking forward to seeing Kante's smile. 

 

It feels like it's been ages. He's worth the admission fee purely because of the way he plays the game.

 

Yes he's bloody good, but he plays it in the right spirit. Not many defensive-minded midfielders can say that.

Is Kante going to start? A lot of French fans on facebook don't think he will.

 

He started the last few and scored. According to the Racing Post this morning he will the holding role with Pogba Payet and Matudi in front

It seems to be a case of either Diarra or Kante seeing as they both play similarly and are both in great form.

Diarra's injured ain't he?

 

Got a feeling Kante will score if he starts.

 

Romania aren't to be underestimated but France will definitely be too good for them tonight.

Anyone see a repeat of the France v Senegal opening game in 2002? A shock 1-0 win.

 

I don't think I could name a single Romanian player without looking but they had a good qualiyfing campaign, albeit in a weak group. Can't see France sliiping up though.

I was only talking about the game yesterday. France were holders then of course, I don't even think they got out of the group.

Chiriches & Pantilimon & Bogdan Stancu are the only ones I know. 

 

The first 2 cos of their Premier League times and Stancu because of Football Manager legend status.

 

And Razvan Rat just from previous tournaments but that's it!

Costel Pantillimon, Razvan Rat and Vlad Chireces  are three I can think of.

Of course, know the ones that have played in England but they don't immediately come to mind. I miss Hagi and co from the 90s.

i hope they've done something different again like when they all dyed their hair blonde.

If France score early I can see it being messy.

The Romanians can be dogged, though, if they can keep it tense for the first half hour or so you can see the nerves setting in for les Bleus.

Think it'll be a great initial spectacle, like the previous Euros and World Cups.

 

The country deserves success and joy, and shouldn't worry about some extremist idiot trying to target the competition.

 

Can see it being emotional.

Hopefully Kante starts, can see France adopting a 4-3-3 with Kante holding and Matuidi & Pogba in front.

As for Romania it's good to see Razvan Rat is still going strong. Pantilimon, Chiriches & Stancu are the only other players I've heard of.

2-0 France - Griezmann & Martial with the goals.

Especially when hiking in the Carpathians.

Haven't Romania got Maxim, have they taken him.

They left him out and opted for some guy called Stanciu instead.
