#5 How far can France go at the Euros?

France must work on being more ruthless when it comes to finishing off moves

If they can dig out results like these in the dying moments of games, then the hosts can be considered among the favourites to make it all the way to the Final next month. But once again, a lack of conviction in the attacking third would have worried Didier Deschamps on the sidelines.

With the attacking options they possess, France must work on killing teams off earlier, so that they don’t have to rush things in the final stages. With the pressure of the home fans to add to it, it won’t be all that smooth for France, but the winning mentality is definitely there and France must work on being more ruthless when it comes to finishing off moves.

Olivier Giroud was yet again wasteful, and it remains to be seen whether he retains his place for the final group game against the Swiss.
