2) France start with real intent unlike in previous games
After cautious starts in each of their opening two games, France started this game in fifth gear, much to the excitement of the fans. They kept haring at the Swiss defence, opening up with shots on goal and winning a plethora of corners.
Pogba went closest for the tournament hosts - firing a thunderous shot onto the woodwork. Within the first 25 minutes they eight goal attempts, three of which were on target. 20-year-old Kingsley Coman was a busy figure on either wing, using his pace and dribbling ability to skip past opponents and creating chances.
One reason they may have employed this tactic was because they had already assured themselves of a last 16 spot. Will they be as adventurous as they were on Sunday when they play in the knockout round?
