Pretty attacking side from France. To have Cabaye as your DM is odd, unless they just have him act as a DLP.

if benz plays giroud in there...it's a really bad miss by giroud on goal

Works well with Pogba and Matuidi in a three man central midfield. My guess is Sissoko will tuck in a bit.

Interesting game. Switzerland's pretty underrated (well, not by FIFA). Much more interesting team than they used to be.

So Giroud's plan is to jump in the hair and fling himself at any Swiss near him?

Watching at work with no volume, did they say where he got hit? Was it his eye or nose?

Think it was just below his eye



Debuchy should have been booked there.
