foxoffderby Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Very excited about this France to turn it on Kante to start Looking forward to see who France will start with Don't know much about Romania
AKCJ Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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.
kingcarr21 Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Is Kante going to start? A lot of French fans on facebook don't think he will.
foxoffderby Posted 10 June 2016 Author Posted 10 June 2016 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
AKCJ Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 It seems to be a case of either Diarra or Kante seeing as they both play similarly and are both in great form.
StanSP Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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.
Fox92 Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Very excited. Can't see anything other than a France win.
RowlattsFox Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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!

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. 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.

Finnegan Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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.
Wymsey Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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.
foxoffderby Posted 10 June 2016 Author Posted 10 June 2016 That midfield Giroud A Gruiezman up top Martial and Coman on the bench if things go wrong
kingfox Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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.

bovril Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 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. Especially when hiking in the Carpathians.
kingfox Posted 10 June 2016 Posted 10 June 2016 Haven't Romania got Maxim, have they taken him. They left him out and opted for some guy called Stanciu instead.
