Vote your 11 against Australia at the World Cup opener

France will start the World Cup on Tuesday 22 November against Australia. With what composition? Before Didier Deschamps makes his choices, make yours.

You also offer yourself cheap headaches: which cornerstone to deploy for the Blues against Australia? Didier Deschamps has already given some clues, but you don’t need to follow him.

The instructions are simple: from the list of 26 players compiled by Didier Deschamps, first select a goalkeeper, then four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards and you will see your selection for the game against Australia. And if Didier Deschamps’ return to 4 defenders doesn’t suit you, you can select 5 defenders.

You can also try a very bold 3-4-3 although Didier Deschamps’ list of 26 is singularly lacking in full-backs.
