Tolisso is a target box for boxing midfielder; Able to bump up and finish, with legs or head.
He scored 6 goals in 26 Bundesliga matches for Bayern in 17/18. NB: 17 starts / 5 goals. In addition 3 goals / 8 CL matches (3 goals / 6 starts).
He got the chance from the start of the test matches against Ireland and Italy and played well in both. Highly scoring France netted 2 and 3.
Tolisso is expected to start against probably defensive-compact Australia, rather than normal starting Matuidi. With creative Pogba as a partner.
France starts enough without Giroud in front; with Griezmann (as Australia has a big focus) + Dribblers Dembélé and Mbappé. Should give a post.
Australia changed coach after qualification, and the question is whether the organization is in place.
Australians play on a much lower level daily than the French who should be able to get on the game.
Socceroos can have a problem in the main game (where Tolisso is sharp despite 1.81): Goalkeeper Ryan is 1.84, middle defenders Sainsbury 1.83 and Milligan 1.78.
Tolisso is only registered for 9 international matches (7 starts), and the 23-year-old may be mentally hampered in his World Cup debut (I doubt, however).
He has not yet scored on the national team (had one end against Ireland, one against Italy).
It may be Tolisso starting out. Or that he was replaced (however, he did not know either Ireland or Italy).
France (Tolisso in 58 minutes) only scored 1-1 against the United States in the final test match.
There are others who can score on the French team, especially top scorer Griezmann, but also the wings Mbappé and Dembélé are happy to enter and finish.
With Van Marwijk at the coach rails, Australia will probably be compact and cautious. And possibly destructive (but it may give rise to French death bouts).
After 1-4 loss in Norway in March, Australia is 2-1-0 (6-1). Including 4-0 victory over the Czech Republic (which provided some reserves).
Australia can put on pretty defensive Mooy and Luongo at the defensive midfield; alternatively heavy, but routine, Jedinak.
France plays World Cup without the routine center defender Koscielny. The two backs Sidibé and Mendy are questionable and start hardly. Australia has a damn injury about first-time Juric – he starts enough on the bench.
