Been wandering around with 'Lavali con fuoco' in my head for a couple of days.

As charming a number as it undoubtedly is, I'm starting to get a little tired of it.

I think he's an improvement over Blanc, I rate him highly. I think he could do well. I saw a few matches, and I'd say France looks a bit more of a team, but it isn't all that yet.

By the way, I watch France's matches by habit, because I used to watch them with my Dad. He wishes the worst on them, and he is amused at how ingrate the French are mostly when they lose (but, even when they win) :D
too early to judge Deschamps on how well he's doing for the French NT, but the signs are promising.

Blanc didn't do too well with France, but lets not forget the work he did at bordeaux, which imo is phenomenal, the French NT has always had a poisonous environment, and its never easy to coach them. I think that should not take away from blanc at all, i personally rate him as a coach and think he'd do well in club football.

Deschamps was inconsistent with Marseille, though all in all he was quite decent for them, however his work at Monaco was amazing, I think he might be a slightly better coach than Blanc, but imo even that is debatable.

Blanc's tactics at the Euros were horrible.

Decent coach, though.
His tactics at Bordeaux were more than decent though, the work he did there is really admirable. He created a very effective and consistent team, and got them to compete against Lyon when they were at their best.

I rate Blanc, I think Deschamps is better however. Blanc's work with Bordeaux was nothing short of amazing, he got them to play at a high level and I liked his tactics. Coaching France might be one of the most difficult task when it comes to coaching national team, but for me, Deschamps is more suited to the role than his counterpart. Not guaranteed he will succeed either.

I think France still lacks a lot when it comes to cohesion, but it's been apparent it's better. They were lethargic with Blanc.

Not being a watcher of Ligue 1, I only really saw Bordeaux when they were in Juve's CL group.

Just recall them being a solid unit who relied of Gourcuff and set-pieces to win games.

I had a halal hotdog yesterday, with garlic sauce. Nørrebro :heart:
Yeah, Nørrebro's nice. Which is why I'm looking into buying an apartment around Indre Nørrebro (Sankt Hans Torv) now that I've sold my old one.

What's that? Sun boiled eggs?
Boiled eggs in a salt brine. It's horrendous.

Are you going to the new Mikkeler Bar when you visit Copenhagen?
