Mbappe will play with a mask on. Like a real Ninja Turtle 😎

Can we start a GoFundMe for a second microphone? 😆 Great to see the Adam’s combine forces! ❤

The French memes about Rabiot and Kante. Showing Shaq and Kobe highlights. France seems way more positive about their national team compared to the English. I swear all they do is complain constantly I hate it

And I'm sure if this "smacks a bit of Ronaldo at the 2002 world cup", then France will be laughing, as Ronaldo scored 8 goals and lifted the trophy. Some of us do remember getting up to watch that tournament.

13:48 If England lost Bellingham they could play Palmer as 10 or Foden. If Bellinghams playing as a 8 they could move Rice to 8 and play Mainoo or Wharton as a 6. England as more cover for Bellingham than Kane.

Can't wait for pickers to knock his block off in the semis going to punch the ball off a corner

its a bad injury, people thinking he can play after one week are mad. if he plays, he'll be playing injured. 6 week injury. all the opposition have to do is get physical with him and he can be in some serious trouble with that injury.

I really enjoyed this one. The others are good too, but your interactions make this more alive. You have become my substitute of Tifo, since they let Joe Devine go and it just became like old guys in a pub talking statistics with no emotion. You two are fresh and if you keep this up, with your ideas and knowledge, you'll get a lot of subs!

Quick answer… maybe, if Dembele stops wasting chances & looking more like Daniel James. He was seen as Barcas next Neymar but is nothing but a glorified French version of Daniel James or any of these regular wingers.

as a Bayern fan commenting on upamecano, yeah he kinda is that bad. Don't get me wrong he's got fantastic qualities especially on ball (which is why I believe Deschamps is playing him) He is by far the best long passer and most progressively minded CB in the France squad, and perhaps one of the more offensively minded CB in the euros, however he is everything that both Konate, and Saliba are just worse when it comes to actually defending. He is incredibly strong, he can muscle guys off the ball no problem just like both above ^ but he is much more sluggish, and does not have an ounce of agility in his body. He is prone to error more than the others. but my god can he play a 30-40 yard pass better than most.

All that kit, but only one mic?

i remember similar situation with czech national team in world 2006. jan koller was our striker, 2 m, on his day unplayable target man, all was build about him and second balls. he got injured in 40 minute of the first game. we got another big guy nowhere near his quality and it was the end for us. with rosicky and nedved in mid and jankulovski on lb, mind you.

Quality content, as always!

Thanks for this. I can now comfortably gamble on Dutch players in fantasy football xoxo

I really liked this (lack of) format!

Mbappe is not completely ruled out for a surgery but he does not need it in the IMMEDIATE future at least according to the French FA

Barcola, Dembele, Muani, Coman are all people who can replace Mbappe on the wings and even though they obviously aren't to his level, they can certainly still win games with them because they're top players 🙄 just stick the experienced head of Giroud in Striker. I'd even argue Griezman is harder to replace than Mbappe, cause he is the only person who I see as a capable CAM in that team , and besides that, he is their playmaker.

Upamecano I believe has 9 clean sheets in his last 10 starts. His lowlights are played so much but he’s honestly a good player w some shocking mistakes

Forget everything about what made you think France weren't up to it. Kante in that form can win a tournament by himself.

Have a feeling Upamecano is starting over Konaté due to his reputation (poor evidence of it the last couple of years) for being better on the ball. Back when they played at RBL together he was seen as the smoother ball playing CB alongside the more physical aggressive Konaté. Possibly Deschamps trying to bring more line breaking creativity into the deeper part of the team now they have a more prosaic Rabiot alongside Kante instead of Pogba a few years ago.

They've got enough depth, depends if Deschamps knows how to adapt under pressure until the end of the group stage. Kylian will come back with a ninja turtle mask, and retake control

Respectfully, I think you're dead wrong about France having no plan B for playing without Mbape. Sure, it's a huge blow to France's attacking abilities, but Camavinga, Tchouaméni and Giroud are no ornaments, they're on the squad for a reason. and that reason is that Dechamps can fall back on a more traditional buildup with Giroud playing #9, Griezmann behind him and probably Kolo Muani or Dembele and Thuram on the wing, Camavinga and Chouaméni holding midfield, and a solid defensive line in Theo Hernandez, Pavard, Kanté etc., and that's without mentioning the insanely deep bench the current France side has in just about every position. True, Mbape is irreplaceable, but no plan B? come on...

If England lose Kane that will be the BEST thing for England he is hindering the progress. Southgate feels he has to play hik and start him in every game because hes the captain, but hes a waste of space. Everyone else has to do all the work

13:05 What was that, Adam?

The answer is simple: they can't

Tchoumeni is injured that's why deschamps isn't playing him

Nobody knows how bad the nose break is, and you can get hit on the nose pretty hard and be fine the next day.

More Adam Clearly pub chats please

This man looks so much like Arda Güler

TwoAdams podcast? 👀

At least he'll save some time pickin' his nose and cleaning his left ear at the same time. He'll get a whole new sensory experience as the first footballer to smell the sounds on the pitch. He will need to wear nose plugs though, he wouldn't want to take an errant finger in the nostril and poke out his left eye. Instead of having his ears lowered to celebrate the tournament, he elected to have his nose raised. He's always had a nose for goals; now they'll all be in the top left corner of the net. He already had the look of a ninja turtle, all he was missing was a little width on the snout. That could have been an epic header had he had a little better sniff at the ball. Etc...etc...

I will say I absolutely can’t stand watching Mbappe play up front.

Probably do just fine. Mbappe gets man to man marked out of way to many big games anyway.

Not a big fan of the thumbnail, lads

Why would they play without him?

England don't have no team brother France will replace Mbappe so easy it's ridiculous this is the worst 442 video ever

Come on, people. Best player in the world is Messi. Wasn't that established just a few months ago? 😄😄 Jokes aside, I really don't know that it is justified tailoring a system this much around one player, at least not when said player isn't quite an alien in terms of production. Peak Messi, yes. Peak Ronaldo, yes. People like Bellingham and Mbappe? Eh. It's okay if they have a reasonably good game but there will be a fair few times when the oppo shut them down and then what? Then you've made everybody else rubbish for the sake of one guy who isn't even performing. And just throwing it in here, but I don't think losing Mbappe is that bad if the Frenchies adapt to it. They've got all the quality they need, assuming they can change their mindset and step up. Giroud can do a tank forward, Thuram can do a reasonable number 9, Griezmann can do a false 9. They have the quality all around to play "regular" football, assuming they can come together and actually work as a team. But that part has been such a struggle for France so many times, with all the profiles wanting to hog the glory, making the play rather stale relative to what it could be.

These two together is actually real good

Have you ever seen Ngolo Kante and Eni Eluko in the same room? 🤔

shit talk france has aboundant attacking talent than englad with mbape they will still beat england

gambling sponsor is a L

Your nose has no bones

Saliba was their worst player. He was terrible.

Kante looking back to his best means France absolutely are favourites. If he is able to play like he did the rest of Europe may as well give up.

You guys are so British

They cant cope without butter how they gonna cope without Mbappe?

I think they can be better without Mbappe. Kante holds them together

Who gives a duck
