Olise a great shout for the Ballon Dor if France go well. Watched him again against the North the other night. He plays the game at his own rhythm. Unbelievable technique and eye for a pass. My only worry for him and France is they have TOO many big stars. Potential there for bruised egos to upset the apple-cart. We've seen it previously with French squads,

If Germany have a striker of note, they could win the Ballon D'Or in their game against Caracao alone if all things fall right for them. Might not have to score another goal in the competition to win the prize! PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2139 - 11/06/2026 13:21:27 2678983 Link 0 |

The question is who will do the grunt work for them. A lot of talent no doubt, but the teams who win tournaments are generally well balanced. Their central defence is also questionable. Hard to believe that Konate gets picked ahead of Saliba. Spain outplayed them in the last Euros, and they were put out of the previous one by Switzerland. They were absolutely awful in the last World Cup final, until a penalty out of nowhere woke them up and gave them some momentum. They have the ability to go all the way for sure, but often don't perform to their potential. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2883 - 11/06/2026 13:24:26 2678984 Link 0 |
