France vs Netherlands judgment: Internal troubles

After the defeat to Argentina in the final of the World Cup 2022, the internals of the French national team continued to have troubles that made many fans insecure. The standout can be said to be the controversy between Benzema and coach Deschamps.

Thought everything had calmed down, Les Bleus' dressing room was recently the focus of the press when the coaching staff decided to let Mbappe be the new captain of the Rooster and made many stars like Griezmann or Rabiot unhappy.

Back to the present time, France will have the opening match of Euro 2024 qualifying with a great battle against the Netherlands. According to the assessment, even though they are playing at home, the fans are not too confident that the team from "Wine Country" will win all 3 points.

Contrary to the unstable dressing room of the opponent, the Netherlands is a cohesive group with a common voice. Take the performance at the 2022 World Cup as an example. The Netherlands with a squad without too many stars went all the way to the quarter-finals and only accepted to lose to Argentina - the team then crowned the champion, after a lucky shootout.

- France: Maignan; Kounde, Konate, Upamecano; Coman, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Theo Hernandez; Griezmann, Giroud, Mbappe.

- Netherlands: Cillessen; Timber, Van Dijk, Ake; Dumfries, De Roon, Klaassen, Blind; Gakpo; Weghorst, Depay.
