We shudder to think of what this French squad would do to the Republic of Ireland defence.
Belgium tore the likes of Stephen Ward and Ciaran Clark apart on the break on Saturday, and Romelu Lukaku isn’t exactly the quickest player in the world.
So we reckon France would be able to do even more counter-attacking damage to Irish legs as they’ve got explosive speed in abundance.
Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and Moussa Sissoko are all full of pace, but it’s another France international who has officially clocked the top speed at this summer’s tournament thus far.
Fastest player so far?

Bayern Munich talent Kingsley Coman, on-loan from Juventus, is the holder of that particular honour after he registered an almost unbelievable 32.8 km/h against Switzerland on Sunday night.
That translates to an incredible 20.4 mph which goes some way to explaining why the 20-year-old is being backed for such a huge future.
Not only that but Coman is also easily the owner of the best dress sense at the tournament.
