Didier Deschamps: France have truly had an extraordinary run to the semifinals of the 2024 Euros. The side is yet to score a goal from open play and have reached final four with only three goals to their name (two own goals, one penalty).

There's a lot of criticism for Didier Deschamps' men with former Premier League striker Chris Sutton going to the extent of saying he would 'close the curtains' if they were playing in his back garden while speaking on BBC.

The French head coach has replied to all those who find their style of play boring with a simple suggestion. "If you are bored, watch another game - you don't have to watch us, it's fine. Maybe it's not the same as it was in the past, but we do have the capability to spark emotions and make lots of French men and women happy with our results, especially after a difficult period in our country," said Deschamps to reporters in the pre-game conference.
