African talent, physique and genes+European facilities, organization=football monsters

I'm very sure Evra's shouted gbese when he held his d*ck

Can somebody conduct drug test on Kante? The guy has a typical Kenyan strength

[quote author=Xcellency007 post=46460131][/quote]Lolz...

But he does deliver for them.
You must be an Arsenal fan, i am too and i agree with you Giroud could be really frustrating sometimes in the colours of Arsenal with most of his performances uninspiring and lackluster.. But he does come good for France believe me.

They could, they have a good squad, one of the best at this tourney plus they'll have the crowd behind them whenever they play.

BUHARI!!!!!!!!

How many of the black Africans, who make up the majority of the French team, are only there because they’ve got their French citizenship? Next time France should play in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Dimitri Payet's spectacular late winner gave hosts France victory over Romania in the opening match of Euro 2016 amid a huge security operation at the Stade de France.

On an emotional evening at the same venue where suicide bombers struck in the November attacks that killed 130 people across the city, Payet ensured the game ended on a high note with a sensational 30-yard strike.

France, who triumphed in their last two major tournaments on home soil - Euro '84 and the 1998 World Cup - are favourites to win this time too.
But after hitting the post early on through an Antoine Griezmann header, they struggled to find any fluency against a resolute Romania side, who also created good chances.

Relive France's opening game win over Romania
Les Bleus' star-studded attack had to wait until the 58th minute to make the breakthrough, when Olivier Giroud headed home Payet's cross.

Romania responded within seven minutes, with Bogdan Stancu scoring from the spot after Patrice Evra clipped Nicolae Stanciu inside the area.
A draw looked the most likely outcome until Payet capped a brilliant individual display with his wonder goal in the 89th minute.

The West Ham star apart, the hosts' performance was unconvincing but, for the whole of the France, the result mattered far more.

The perfect start for France:

A win was the perfect start to a month of football which, it is hoped, can help to bring together a fractured country that will remain under a state of emergency for the duration of the competition.
The scale of the police presence outside the Stade de France on Friday was obvious, with two separate checkpoints where fans were searched and tickets checked, but the day passed without any serious security incidents in Paris.

Inside the stadium, the mood was set by a colourful opening ceremony followed by a stirring rendition of 'La Marseillaise' before kick-off but the game itself was far less entertaining.

Payet proves he is a star performer:

Paul Pogba was billed as the star of this France team but it was Payet who was the outstanding performer against Romania.

This game will be remembered for his winning goal but he was also behind almost all of Frances's best moments going forward.

Before setting up Giroud's goal, he put chances on a plate for the Arsenal striker and Griezmann but both missed the target.

He made no such mistake himself but was overwhelmed with emotion soon afterwards, and was substituted in tears.

"At the start of the season, a lot of people would have found it hard to believe I would be here," said Payet after the game.

"I have got here by working hard. When I saw the stadium tonight I knew I was going to have fun."

Why did France's other players fail to shine?

Credit must go to Romania, who showed why they had the best defensive record in qualifying, but some France players were worryingly flat.

Pogba had a volley well saved by Ciprian Tatarusanu but failed to get his foot on the ball in midfield - and his side lacked a player who could dictate play from deep.

N'Golo Kante put in the kind of all-action display we are used to seeing from him for Leicester but, one swinging crossfield ball apart, did not open Romania up.

On top of the lack of balance in midfield, France were worryingly open at the back.

Their makeshift central defensive partnership of Adil Rami and Laurent Koscielny has played only two games together before this tournament and it showed.

Hugo Lloris rescued them with a brilliant early save from Stancu but better sides than Romania will be more ruthless in front of goal.

Man of the match - Dimitri Payet (France)

France manager Didier Deschamps said recently that "every time he touches the ball, something happens" and the West Ham star proved him right.

He was behind all of Les Bleus' best moments and looked like the only player capable of opening up Romania.

What they said:

Former France striker Thierry Henry on BBC Radio 5 live: "Dimitri Payet thought he was going to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He was involved in every qualifying game but they took that away from him.
"Tonight you saw a man who was hurt. He was saying with that performance 'you didn't take me to the World Cup and I am going to show you'. He wanted every single ball. You can't win a game by yourself. but that strike... oh my gosh.

"No one is going to take what is happening to him now away from him. He showed tremendous desire. He was the one that drove the team forward."

The stats you need to know:

Romania have never won their opening game at a European Championship finals tournament (D3 L2).
Romania conceded the same number of goals in this match (2) as they did in their entire Euro 2016 qualification campaign (2).

Olivier Giroud has now scored eight goals in his last six starts for France.

There has now been a penalty given in three of the last four European Championship finals opening games (2004, 2012 & 2016), with all of them coming against the host nation.

Kingsley Coman became the youngest player to play for France in a major international tournament (aged 19 years 362 days).

If those guys stayed in Africa, their talent will be under developed.

Talent + Enabling environment = Success

We lack those two here in Africa

StarTimes show the match and it was an interesting match.

Romania is a team without a standout individual talent
France not yet a team but full of fantastic individual talents
I give the match to Romania for their compact challenging and untiring style of play though they lost to an individual fantastic display of talent

Realhommie:
I'm thinking maybe, just maybe France could go all the way to lift the Euros trophy... No doubt they're one of the tournament's favourites.

Any of France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium could be celebrating at the end, my take.

Why not Turkey? You should count Turkey too. I hope and pray that Turkey will lift the trophy this time.

Lolz.

Are you a Turk or a Nigerian resident in Turkey?

This is football and anything's possible, the Turkish team could go all the way but unfortunately they're not amongst the favorite.

However, i wish you luck... Would be happy for you if ur team wins at the end of the day.

EURO 2016 STADIUMS.
All I can say France has upped their game, today they're on par with the EPL. Actually I must say TURKEY, GERMANY, FRANCE and RUSSIA have better STADIUMS than ENGLAND.

As usual am sure ENGLAND will crash out before the semis, their league is over hyped. Am glad the new foreign coaches are bringing NEW FOOTBALL CULTURE IN ENGLAND. The Anglo-Saxons of England believe in physical strength, whereas Southern Europeans/Latin Europe(France, Spain,Italy and Portugal) believe in natural brilliance and teamwork. In football I stick with the CHILDREN OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE like their ancestors who brought CIVILIZATION they're SMART upstairs. While the Nordic race/Germanics were dubbed by Romans as SAVAGES who rely on strength. Lukily today their modern English are a mixture of Celts,Romans and Germanics their stupidity sometimes sticks out thanks to their Germanic genes.

ALL IN ALL THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP IS A LEAGUE OF COWS. They attract COWS from Mali, Senegal who took Newcastle to the Championship. The likes of Papis Cisse are COWS rely on physical strength NO BRAINS.
