I love Kante but I hate France. I feel conflicted so I'm out. Enjoy the game

Me too. Really pleased for him but still want the bastards to lose.

Is it me or does there not seem to be any sort of festival atmosphere around this tournament at all? Maybe it's just because Hodgson has destroyed any support I have for England but it seems so flat.

Lots of teams bidding against each other.

They'd be bidding wages, they still wouldn't pay more to us.

At least if he has a brilliant tournament (which we all know he will) we will get much more than his release clause.

Yeah, Arsenal might throw the extra quid in.

but they'd all offer the release clause and then compete with offering better personal terms

Good point - It all seems so unfair. But then again we won the league and they'll never take that away.

 

Come on Romania!

Just the 4 Kanté interceptions so far :blush:

Is it possible that he looks even better for France than he does for us? Doesn't get to show off much of his passing abilities and how brilliant he is at getting out of tight spaces for us

Apart from the obviously brilliant Kante, I've not been overly impressed by France so far, especially considering they were being talked as favourites.

France is still a country somewhat on high alert - something that the hooligans don't appreciate and is no doubt why the French police, who historically can be heavy handed are even more tilted that way.

Why do i find Clive Tyldelsly such a dull commentator and Hoddle might as well not be there. I don't want to watch ITV's half time punditry either

Only one France-based player in that starting XI, Matuidi. So if the 'homesick' thing is true about Kanté then I doubt he'll be getting his head turned that much by the squad to return to France.

If he wants to go anyway though it probably won't make a difference.

The atmosphere is dreadful and the opening ceremony was atrocious. Don't know if the threat of terror has people a bit on edge

Must remember there's also strikes going on AND Paris had a shit load of rain last week, so flooding was a problem.
