BEST TEAM

FRANCE — and they have the squad to get a lot better, too. Their midfield is jam-packed with talent, and it’s up to Didier Deschamps to keep everyone happy and still get the best out of Paul Pogba, Dimitri Payet, Blaise Matuidi, N’Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann. Belgium’s poor start should serve as a warning — you can have great players but if you don’t play as a team you won’t achieve anything. Saying that, France are a lot closer to piecing the puzzle together than Belgium.
