I sure hope so. Right now watching them play is a great sleep aid.

Yep

Has France ever been super exciting? I mean they're not Italy level, but I don't ever recall being thrilled.

Yes? Usually? I mean I found them super exciting in the 2022 World Cup. I have to go back about 20 years to find them this dull.

Not really. It's been the rule under Deschamps; see Denmark-France in 2018 for instance.  :P
As for les Bleus being exciting, that's for the old ones so 1958 :D, 1982 to 1986 I would say.

Well yeah, France already won the first two games. They were just trying not to lose against Denmark

As for the 1980s, I have been entertained plenty by Platini's corruption controversies I don't need to watch him play.

I'd rather watch him play football than have him ruining the game at UEFA level (Europe-wide tournament; 16 to 24 etc.), not just by corruption with his buddy Blatter a.k.a the greedy gnome of Zurich.  :D

Nice goal. Although should have waited until second day half since now Italy might wake up and not play for a tie  :ph34r:

Italy are weak at the moment. Switzerland on the other hand are in a bit of a golden (well. Silver at least) generation.

Completely irrelevant but I thought the bbc presenters were in a studio with computer graphics to make it look like they were on top of the Brandenburg Gate.
Turns out somehow they're there for real.
