Episode 32: Are France World Cup favourites?

from The French Football Show · host Matt Spiro

Didier Deschamps’ team flexed their attacking muscle by swatting aside Brazil and Colombia in the US with two completely different starting elevens. Should the rest of the world be worried? Are Les Bleus ready to clinch their third star this summer? Matt Spiro welcomes Tom Williams and Andy Scott onto the pod to discuss. Part 2 focuses on the coach who is preparing for his final tournament – Deschamps makes way to Zinedine Zidane this summer. Does he need a big tournament (and maybe even some free-flowing attacking football!) to secure his legacy as France’s greatest ever coach? Finally, there’s a ‘World Cup Watch’ feature on Strasbourg’s brilliant Argentine midfielder Valentin Barco.Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefrenchfootballshow
