“When the great national football powers produce excellent teams, each one tends to have its own unique virtues, but when they fail, they tend to follow a national script,” says Kári Tulinius. “For example, Spain keep the ball but never score, Italy bag an early goal and invite pressure until they concede, and France become a collection of individuals, rather than a team, riven by acrimony.
“There were hints of that before the tournament, but based on the performance against Germany, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Perhaps the comparatively milder pressure of playing against Hungary will allow the cracks to show, otherwise the rest of the field should really fear France.”
