As a technical player kante is solid but nothing special, his efficient though doesn't f**k about with the ball keeps it ticking quick. It's his defensive side that makes him top notch, can't compare him and xhaka because they would compliment eachother well

Bakayoko is not good. Glad he is going to chelsea

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud became the first player to score a hat-trick for France in 17 years as his side thrashed Paraguay in Rennes.

Nothing game. Real business is the qualifiers.

Brazil owned by messi. Good day

[Angelito]

di Maria was good.

3-4-2-1 (same formation as we used at the end of last season) seems to be the way forward for this team. Good result. Not a great game, but good to see Argentina dominate.

Meanwhile, Otamendi injured Jesus. Pep must be fuming.

Pulisic brace last night. Bring him home to us, we could use some American steel in the team!

[Zenith]

Puli is really, really good. Almost underrated because of his nationality, you could argue.

It's a pity he still has 3 years left on his contract at Dortmund who see him as Reus' successor - I doubt they would accept a £30m bid.

[StLGooner]

Still only 18 as well. He would probably have to demand a transfer for them to let him go, and I don't see that happening at his young age. It would probably be best for him to stay there and get that experience and hone those skills a bit, so he can move to a bigger club within a couple years.
