In general, both France and Belgium easily beat the Netherlands and Sweden, as if they played not with the top teams, but with Malta or Luxembourg.
this is true
expected much more from Netherlands, although Gakpo was not there, and that looked as it would be an easier win for France
Belgium had Lukaku last night, and he smashed Sweden with three goals, didn't expect that as well
but all in all, Sweden and Netherlands looked more like Malta, than France/Belgium as top teams
I think it is more about how good France become, they found a golden generation and almost in every position they have star level of players, the roster they have could be one of the most expensive ever assembled in history, of course this is mainly due to inflation since Brazil also had some pretty great teams back in the day, but this is one of those times when there is a huge generation that should win a lot during their time and then they will retire one after the other.
We are lucky that it's early days of it, they are young now, we should be seeing at least 2 more world cups with this squad and they will be doing great in euro in between those periods as well.
