Jules "Deschamps is great for playing boring Football" also Jules "Southgate is the worst coach ever for playing boring Football"

[Redonepunch]

Gab is all over the place. It’s making the podcast hard to listen to.

[bulliboyz]

Gab clearly thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. He’s always out of his comfort zone on extra time when taking on the ex premier league players. Different demeanour

[jngobngo]

Love hearing Gab talk about the US as Italy float into nowhere 😆

[anchorpoint]

Deschamps had no clue...i nearly choked myself drinking ...

[WilliamJones-hcff]

Does Gab Marcotti actually enjoy football? Seems like everything about it just annoys him.

[firas.alhamdani]

France doesn't press and consequently they don't get possession in the opponent's half with its defense being vulnerable so France have to start every attack from their half with the opponent's defense set. This makes them very predictable and nullifies a lot of their attackers strengths.
Pogba and a younger Griezman and Giroud with his head) used to help create chances but this is not availabie anymore.

[ulfanfinneriksen]

Forgive him Jules. He is disoriented after Italy 's embarrasing display.

[KidMo-iypm]

“Ronaldo is scoring goals in Saudi”Will you have a day off?! You trying not to upset him or something?

[Valenciz]

Just what we needed for Monday lunch time

[Marco-birb]

I agree with Jules in saying “so what” in response to criticism France painfully negative way of playing. But how he can have this attitude to France but not England is contradictory.

[Gooniessss]

France haven't been as bad as England with supposedly the best player in the world and 1 goal from open play?

[calvinh.]

Wow Jules is actually knocking back some of Gabs unfounded assumptions

[sol]

Come on you gotta love the fact Juls gets offended wen Dechamps is called Forrest Gump- yet Southgate’s all of that, yet England have been miles better than 🇫🇷- we’ve had teams that sit back. France have had teams come at them ffs 🤦‍♂️.. come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 please show this arrogant Frenchmen

[Wladislav]

I think Gab is wrong about France in the same way many pundits have been at the Euros.
France aren't playing negative football because they want to this time. The issue is that their entire attack is actually dysfunctional.
1) Mbappé has been terrible, even before the broken nose.
2) Giroud gets no minutes, I assume because his legs may be gone.
3) Griezmann, Deschamps' most important player, looks as tired as Kane does for England.
4) Thuram and Kolo Muani haven't been effective. Probably because they aren't true target men like Giroud.
5) Barcola gets no minutes because he's Mbappé's backup.
6) Dembele has been the bright spark of the offence, but has a low football IQ and poor finishing.

[veriteinternational]

Gabs is the oracle - he said France were running on fumes and Spain proved that. You cannot play a defensive game in every round and expect to keep on getting through.

[alaalespaul]

Bielsa makes total sense, Gab you don't have to disagree just to be controversial

[ulfanfinneriksen]

I said the same Jules. Wirtz not starting what? Sane did nothing. Wirtz and Musiala was cooking together. Great chemistry.

[davidbroughton]

The Spain handball is not up for question. His arm was in that position LONG before the shot. How can it be handball?

[bionicle]

I hope the Scaling Spaces sponsorship stays even when the euros end
