Don't count them out yet. Austria is a hard nut to crack.
It's not how you start it's how you finish, this squad has depth and quality, they certainly defend better than any other team in this competition
The way they were set up was pretty underwhelming. You could have all the talent in the world but if it's not used right then it doesn't matter. Still match 1 though.

Also if Mbappe's gone now then that's a huge problem.

I've seen Italy play worse in the group stages of a tournament and still won the whole thing.

I thought France looked comfortable tonight.

France never win convincingly.

They win with the minimum effort required.

What France lacked offensively thought as match went on team played well defensively disposing of many instances Austria appeared ready to get shots on goal. Their speed/athleticism showed where they got to balls one step ahead of the Austrian players.

How is it that the Austrian team can run so hard so long! We should check their fitness routine.

Kante :heart:
