[O Fenomeno]

England are out

Sweden are a good tournament side

Ukraine can beat England on their day

And France WILL beat England

[Benicio del Toney]

Thing is its not far fetched to think that by the time Messi has played 74 CL games, he would have scored 56 goals

Not far fetched, but he needs 13 goals in the next 12 games.

A big ask.

Not really because he is capable banging braces/hat tricks/even four a game(as shown before)

He ain't doing that latter stages of Champs League.

[Benicio del Toney]

In our lifetime

Where did it say "in my lifetime"

It clearly says "probably the best goal getter the game has seen"

SNM

Probably means it's debatable.

And it is, guy's a monster.

By the same logic France should be out. i think England and Sweden will make it out of the group. My nigga Zlatan will get it done.

Rami >>>> Kons

And Evra is past it been getting bukkaked down the left for the last 18 months now

Remy is too overrated as well

I rate Rami very high, but surely defending in EPL is more difficult than La Liga.

Opinions but Koscielny has been better than Rami this year, Diaby is VERY highly rated by Blanc and will undoubtedly start. Remy is overrated but his pace means he will get opportunities.

[O Fenomeno]

I don't want Nasri/Remy/Diaby anywhere near the first eleven but the first two will be.

As for Kos being better than Rami this season? I don't know because Rami has been quality until he runs into Messi.

[O Fenomeno]

As for scarface unless he is looking to play from the right he should be a sub

[Guest whowantswhat]

As for scarface unless he is looking to play from the right he should be a sub

sh*t forgot about Ribery. On paper France are strong.

[O Fenomeno]

Blanc this will do thank you

GK: Lloris/Mandanda/Carrasso

RB. Sagna/Debuchy

LB Abidal/Evra

CB Rami/Mexes/Kosicelny/Sakho

DM: M'Vila/Toulalan

CM: Cabaye/Valbuena/Martin/Nasri

RM: Menez/Remy

CF: Giroud/Hoarau

LM: Benzema/Ribery

[O Fenomeno]

Is Valbuena capable of playing CM?

He should be able because he floats around in the Marseille team.

Playing him in a three with M'Vila/Cabaye is perfect

We have three players with the jack of all trades(holding/box to box/creative force)

[O Fenomeno]

Two ball playing CB's (one right footed and the other left footed) is excellent.

Martin is too deep line, Nasri doesn't have the heart or courage of Valbuena

Remy is one for the last 25 mins (these type of players never work as a starter for the NT see Henry,Cisse,Gouvou)
