France lineup
Les Blues coach Didier Deschamps made nine substitutions to his starting XI against Tunisia after an injury-plagued first half of the competition. Aside from when some of those big names came in, the reserves didn’t exactly impress, and Deschamps probably wouldn’t have given any of them a shot at the starting lineup.
France startingXI:
Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud.
Poland lineup
Poland boss Czeslaw Michniewicz should have his whole squad available to him. In spite of their defeat to Argentina, Poland is still a formidable foe in knockout football because to the likes of Wojciech Szczesny in goal and Robert Lewandowski up forward.
Poland starting XI:
Szczesny; Bereszynski, Glik, Kiwior; Cash, Krychowiak, S. Szymanski, P. Frankowski;Zielinski, Kaminski; Lewandowski.
