France manager Didier Deschamps truly has a problem when he has to decide which players will start the first match on June 10th at the Euros where his country will host. This Monday against Cameroon, many young players shined and gave a master class of speed, precision and good aim during a very difficult match. The French national team scored the first goal of the night before the 20th minute after Blaise Matuidi received a cross by Coman from the left and got a turn around strike.
But on the 22nd minute, Aboubakar equalized the score line after a cross from the right flank during a counter attack. But France got ahead once more five minutes before half time through Paul Pogba, who sent a beautiful cross from the right that Olivier Giroud connected and sent to the back of the net. The match went to half time after this, but there were some more goals to come in the second half.
Those goals came near the end, Choupo got the equalizer on the 88th minute but it was going to be Dimitri Payet the player of the match with a beautiful free-kick that got into the far top corner. Didier Deschamps doesn't look like he needs Karim Benzema, but it would be nice to see him in this already over powered team at the Euros. Good performances by youngsters Kingsley Coman, Paul Pogba, N'Golo Kante and Adil Rami.
