French is one of the best anthems for me, even if it does seem to be about slaughtering English usurpers
It's a good one but still behind the German and Italian one for me

Giroud has a lot more movement playing for France

Really?! That seems a bit random, considering their long history of war with England.

Edit: Read that as Australians

It's an anthem about fighting tyranny and foreign invaders, not just the English (or British considering that by the time it was written in 1792 the United Kingdom had already existed for 85 years).

France should be nowhere near favourites.

Only Payet looking decent for France, everyone else poor.

Yes, I'm surprised they're still favourites with a lot of the bookies.

Italy at 11/1 could be a good bet.

I'm thinking possibly Germany or Spain for the win though.

Not seeing anything from Martial and Coman as to why they've been chosen over Griezman & Pogba.

Martial looks half a yard off the pace.

Yep, so far the changes have done nothing for the team.

Again a total lack of effective marking from the French at a corner.

Martial must have had the worst 45 minutes of the tournament, looks like an amateur out there

Payet, Giroud and Matuidi are competing with him for the French dud award though

Unsurprisingly, the most picky performance by a ref so far.

albanians causing panic every time they get the ball into the french box...

Uninspiring half from the French. Albania more than holding their own.

Awful first half, particularly from the French.

When I thought the Albanian defence wouldn't be quite as resolute as they were against the Swiss, I assumed the French would attack them with rather more pace and intensity than the Swiss.

Instead we've just seen another instance of possession without purpose - and I don't think the Albanian defenders have been overly troubled.

Very lacklustre half from France. They brought two different starters in to play the wings but neither of them seems to actually want to have a run at their man. Martial has been terrible, certainly worse than Sterling was for England. I'm sure Batdude will be along to castigate his performance to high heavens.
