@koziol.mutant Yes, 2 shots on goal more than Albania so deserved win, no ? Besides, France was better in any aspect of the game the second half, so I don`tsee your point. If you play towards one goal for 45 minutes and finally score twice it is deserved, well deserved...
@Castle This starting XI wasn`t widely expected since it didn`t give them the late victory against Romania ! Deschamps send a totally different team on the pitch with a different strategie and different player types ( Martial, Coman = Dribbler- Pogba, Griezmann = ZM plus counter attack player ).
What do you mean ?
@neumi17 Deschamps brought Martial and Coman in against Romania and switched to 4-2-3-1 which provided them winning goal as Payet had even more freedom. After that it was largely speculated France should go with 4-2-3-1 which they did. It didn't work though and now they might return to 4-3-3 and possibly bring Griezmann back to starting XI.
Albania surprisingly the better team at half time because they are brave. France totally static in their approach and fearful. Reflects in the stats, Albania with more shots, more dribbles, mor corners and more determination.
@neumi17 Albania are very physical team an they have lots of running power. They can get ball quickly in attacking third and then even keep it there with nice oassing combinations. And Albania was quite good against Swisses. It's not huge surprise they can stand their ground against France at least for a while.
Martial and Payet to star here, as for score every handicaps made by bookies seem to point out for 2-0, but I think it will be rout and 5-0. Lorik Cana is very big miss for Albania. Also Marseille is great place for Deschamp. And young stars like Martial or Coman should shine and former Marseille Payet. Also it can be late goals as Martian and Coman should make ALbanian players tired and then likes of Griezmann can go in and finish this match lively.
i hope we see goal this match!! maybe 3-0!? Payet hattrick...how awesome is gona be :) but albania have nothing to loss, so they coming for force...
Damn if Pogba dont play...why god why!!?!?
@jyke.makinen calm down my Finnish comrade. I love Payet too but a good performance and maybe a goal or assist would be good for him. He provides a lot and can beat his man easily but he isn't sort of player who scores hattricks, he scores when it matters ;)
We are a bit unlucky .
@marinoJuve Bring in a drone, that's the only way you can get the result that you want.
Wow payet is on fire!
Results silence the critics. Well done France. Well done Whoscored! A correct result and a perfect score.
really suspicious this 2-0, bookies made it most possible and it happened, how not to believe in conspiracy :P
At the end a deserved win for France but congratulations for bravely fighting Albanians. Two times "le bleu" won in the 90th minute .
@neumi17 deserved? 0 shots on goal and 2 shots on goal and 2 goals

Finally France has woken up ...
really takes a garbage coach to start experimenting with the lineup during the competition.
@Lechiffre10 What are you talking about? This starting XI was widely expected since it gave them late victory against Romania.

@Castle I'm talking about the lineup he started with. Without Griezmann and pogba
@Lechiffre10 It's not experimenting if they allready tried it. It's called flexibility, didn't work though.

And I thought France were gonna win the EURO. Awful football so far in these two games.
Martial is such a clumsy player. He tries difficult things all the time but doesn`t have the skill set for that nor the mobility.
After 25 min Albania better than france ...

@Castle As one of the teams favored to win the tournament France should still be able to show more quality to find soutions for that...
@neumi17 In the end they did! The best teams grind out results and don't settle for a draw. They keep working to the very last second of the game.
