    ITV

    Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Roy Keane on ITV:

    "The one thing you need in football is enthusiasm. They don't look like they've got an appetite for the game. They're not playing as a team. For all the quality they have, two lads in midfield are all over the place, the strikers are just hanging on to their quality that that will be enough. That's not enough at this level.

    "I could play for Switzerland tonight. If you gave me time on the ball, I'd still be playing. They're in huge trouble."

  6. 'It was a disaster'published at 20:59 British Summer Time 28 June 2021

    HT: France 0-1 Switzerland

    ITV

    Former France midfielder Patrick Vieira on ITV:

    "It was a disaster this first half. We were expecting them to play with energy, with more determination and it was completely the opposite. I didn't recognise some of the players. We can talk about the organisation and the new system, but when you are on the field, there is a positive attitude to have and they didn't have it in the first half.

    "There is still a long way to go. I believe that Didier Deschamps will get on their back in the dressing room because he will want more from those players."

    Ashley Tezoo: One touch passing and movement from Switzerland has been a joy to watch. The French wing backs can’t go forwards because they are being dragged from side to side!

    Charlie: France look lethargic, lacking ideas, sulking, and generally feeling sorry for themselves. Work for Deschamps to do at half time.

    Ben: France are being Suisse Rolled atm.

    Switzerland have absolutely been the better team, the Swiss have really impressed.

    Terrific header from Seferovic to give them the lead but Switzerland have controlled the first half. There hasn't been that French connection so far.

    They will have to liven themselves up for the second half, its a massive half time team talk for Didier Deschamps.

    Take the lead ✅

    Keep France's star men quiet ✅

    Have something to hold onto heading into the second half ✅

    Switzerland are doing a number on world champions France at the moment.

    Karim Benzema shot. Blocked.

    Then there is a nasty clash of heads between Adrien Rabiot and Breel Embolo, leaving the Switzerland striker worse off.

    Rachel T: Fully expect the Swiss to park the Alps

    Willem Mevius: If you wouldn't know better you would think the guys in white are the world champions. A very good and confident performance from the Swiss so far.

    In this first half there has been a couple exquisite touches from Griezmann. Just there he takes a touch with his left foot, a little back flick.

    Mbappe gets away from Freuler just outside the box, and then he leans back and the ball goes a long, long way over the bar.

    Cheers mate.

    This are good signs for Switzerland, very good signs,

    Kylian Mbappe looks off his game today, he tries to do it all himself but a wild shot from outside the area is blazed over.

    France yet to work Yann Sommer, zero shots on target, and we're two minutes from half time.

    The vicious left boot of Ricardo Rodriguez swings in another tasty delivery which Manuel Akanji meets but the defender cannot get it on target.

    Was a decent opening that.

    Erik: I've never been too impressed by this French side, and Switzerland's lead is well deserved so far. What Griezmann brings to the team I don't know. He plays football as if he was a ballet dancer
