Ireland vs France

Ireland chances to make the Euro 2024 in this group are very slim because in my eyes they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the group, they are clearly better than Gibraltar but Greece is at the same level or even better than them and than Netherlands and France are on a complete another level, so their chances will be very slim even they have a huge support from their fans in their home games who gives a great atmosphere. This is their first game in the group, they played a friendly game where they won 3:2 against Latvia, they were the better team like expected but showed big issues, suffering 2 goals from Latvia is not a good think especially knowing that they will face an tremendous attack today when facing France with Mbappe, Kolo Muano, Coman, Griezmann, Rabiot and Tchouameni for example, trouble ahead for Ireland defensive line for sure here.

France liked expected and like I said in my bet they would beat that Netherlands version and they done it easily, 4:0 win after an amazing first half where they were leading by 3:0 and in the 2nd half they relaxed, I think already focusing on the task for today against Ireland. There is not much to say about France, on paper and player wise they are the most talented team in the World and they are rock solid everywhere and in every position. On defense they have Theo Hernandez, Upamecano, Konate and Kounde what makes a very secure defensive line and their attack is most likely be Mbappe, Kolo Muano, Coman, Griezmann, Rabiot and Tchouameni again what makes them the best attack in the world, even if the Coach makes some chances they have amazing players in the bench to come in and show quality. Overall, France is just overloaded with talent, from the XI starting line-up too deep in the bench.

It's true that it's never easy to play in Ireland because of the great atmosphere and because Ireland plays a very physical game but this Ireland team is a combined team with players 3 players from the Premier League, one from Atletico Madrid and the rest plays in the Championship and they will face a team who every single player plays pratically in a big club or in the biggest clubs in the world, the difference is just too big in my opinion for Ireland somehow to make a surprise here, even I like Ferguson, young talented striker from them but he alone will face that elite defensive line from France, overall, only France can beat themselves here if they play bad or out of focus but if France plays the game they know how to play they should have no issues here to get another win here and start their campaign with 2 wins in 2 games.

Good Luck

爱尔兰在这个小组中进入 2024 年欧洲杯的机会非常渺茫，因为在我看来，他们是小组中排名第三或第四的球队，他们显然比直布罗陀强，但希腊处于同一水平，甚至比他们和荷兰更好和法国完全处于另一个水平，所以他们的机会将非常渺茫，即使他们在主场比赛中得到了球迷的大力支持，气氛也很好。这是他们在小组中的第一场比赛，他们打了一场友谊赛，他们以 3:2 战胜了拉脱维亚，他们是预期中更好的球队，但表现出了很大的问题，遭受拉脱维亚的 2 个进球并不是一个好主意，尤其是知道他们会今天面对拥有 Mbappe、Kolo Muano、Coman、Griezmann、Rabiot 和 Tchouameni 的法国队时会面临巨大的进攻，爱尔兰防线肯定会遇到麻烦。

法国像我说的那样，击败荷兰，他们轻松做到了，在一场惊人的比赛后以 4:0 获胜上半场他们以 3:0 领先，下半场他们放松了，我认为他们已经专注于今天对阵爱尔兰的任务。关于法国没什么可说的，从纸面上和球员的角度来看，他们是世界上最有天赋的球队，而且他们在任何地方和每个位置都坚如磐石。在防守方面，他们有 Theo Hernandez、Upamecano、Konate 和 Kounde，他们的防守线非常安全，他们的进攻很可能是 Mbappe、Kolo Muano、Coman、Griezmann、Rabiot 和 Tchouameni，这使他们成为世界上最好的进攻，甚至如果教练有机会，他们的替补席上会有出色的球员上场并展示实力。总的来说，法国队人才济济，首发阵容太深，替补席太深。

诚然，在爱尔兰踢球从来都不容易，因为那里的气氛很好，而且爱尔兰踢的是一场非常激烈的比赛，但这支爱尔兰队是一支由 3 名英超球员组成的球队，其中一名来自英超联赛。马德里竞技队和其他球队在英冠比赛中，他们将面对一支每名球员都在大俱乐部或世界上最大的俱乐部踢球的球队，在我看来，这种差异太大了，爱尔兰无法以某种方式制造惊喜在这里，即使我喜欢弗格森，他们年轻的天才前锋，但他将独自面对来自法国的精英防守线，总的来说，如果他们表现不佳或注意力不集中，只有法国队可以在这里击败自己，但如果法国队参加比赛，他们知道如何发挥，应该可以取胜取得两连胜开局。

祝好运
