Inspector Lestrade Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 France seems to be miles ahead of England, fast, skilful, powerful, technically adept, and tactically aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an incredible amount of footballers from around the globe who are able to pledge allegiance to France. Quite interesting really. Giroud was born in Italy Greizmann - Germany Nabil Fekir - Algeria Mbappe - Cameroon In actual fact, they have only 2-3 players in the France squad, who are French. Pavard, Thauvin and Lloris I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA launched a 'root and branch' copying of France, after 1998 - Power & Pace Then we scrapped that, to copy Spain - Small & Technical crabs Then we scrapped that to copy Germany ... No ideas of our own. Thus ensuring we're always a generation behind. EPPP & FFP seem to be serving their purpose though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m living in Africa at moment and lots of pride towards those with African heritage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
