We'll see but the potential is through the roof, best we've had in years. Pogba and Kante are unbelievable together, and the depth of skill players in front of them is unreal.

Ya and Griezman. He was awesome in the euro

It's unbelievable team - the only negative for the WC might be that they are very young squad. Some good experience in tough competitions though.
He was but he is kind of losing speed since then. I hope he'll get back on track during the season. He and Giroud weren't good against LUX but when they're both on they're a terrific duo.
Yeah but I wouldn't worry too much about that. We've had our fair share of idiots and pricks in this team before Deschamps came and decided to clean it all up. The guys we have now are not only uber talented but that's a group that's pretty close and there's not a Benzema or Ben Arfa who are good players but can kill your locker room because they're just pricky thugs. And they have the good mentality to succeed. The youth problem is legit but we have some veterans (Koscielny, Lorris) and some emerging leaders (Pogba, Griezmann) to make up for that.

Wow, beat Koln in Germany! They suck (last in Bundes Liga), they hit the post 3 times but it's still a win vs German team away.
Now fun starts, Arsenal going to Belgrade next round and I'm scared.

They just sacked Ancelotti
Yeah I saw, didn't know he was the problem...

He probably wasn't but that's the coaches life
I pity him on this one though, the group he had this year is bad, really not on the same level as the one Pep or Rumenige had.

It's not that bad, really - Celtic and Anderlecht aren't much to write home about.

Wow, $1b development budget and this?

Everyone not named pullisic on this roster is ass so they weren't getting past the group stage unless they had some super easy group. Can we please for the love of god finally stop hauling garbage ass Alitidore out on the field after this. Hopefully playing Tim Howard's corpse is finally over.

Yeah, not sure how they’ve regressed so far from 2006/10. The program seemed on the upswing 10years ago but the roster has been void of talent for sometime. Hard to figure.

Part of the problem is they're absolutely terrible at developing young talent and they keep playing guys way past their prime physically.
Wow, just a massive fail

Next week my boys are hosting Arsenal in EL. I am officially shitting my pants.
