Goalie should have done better.

Wasn't that good tbh lol.

French fans are a disgrace...Fekir coming on for Valbuena and whole stadium is booing him for having algerian roots. Should face punishment, racist pricks.

Belgium thrashing France?!

[Polo7 3,496]

I wonder if this will push Belgium to become one of the greats of this generation. They have a really good squad. Not sure about the manager. Seems like our Roy!

Both teams look like they can do special things.

[Jase 43,479]

The thrashing just became a narrow win.

Impressed with Denayer, can see City keeping him for the season

[Rapkun 668]

Ntep should be getting a place over Lacazette easily. They dont't have an explosive player like him in the squad. He would fit like a glove in the EPL too.

[Liquidator 5,176]

bitch please. We drew with Ireland

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Good game. Lots of goals, some nice saves. Nainggolan and Payet with superb goals too.

Never saw Denayer before (actualy if I remember correctly I saw him when he was playing for Celtic vs Maribor in CL qualifications), but he was far more impressive today. With Vermaelen turning into complete invalid, Belgium has replacement already lined up in Denayer.

Once Fekir and Lacazette settle in, France will benefit big time. Giroud was bang shit.

I can see Fekir overtaking Valbuena's spot for Euro2016 if keeps improving. but it's very unlikely that Lacazette will ever get a run at the striker role over Benzema. There are better players ahead of him on the wings as well. Also, depending on his Martial's evolution next season, he could potentially lose his place in the NT. The monaco player is a real gem.

Lacazette plays much much better for Lyon than France. Right now, Benzema will probably be first choice for Deschamps, but eventualy it should be Lacazette. Giroud has one oddly good game and 5 poor ones.

One big advantage Lacazette has is if Fekir and him stay in lyon for at least another year, they could develop realy good relationship on pitch. They played just one full season together and match each other perfectly. Lacazette downside is that sometimes if he doesnt score, he goes completely missing in game. But he is far from being poacher or whatever. His skills are quite amazing for striker.

Martial is also big prospect indeed. Another from lyon academy. They realy benefited in recent years. Fekir, Lacazette, Martial, Tolisso, Ferri, Umtiti, Lopes etc.
