  1. Benz was the first to come to mind. Cantona was also left off Euro 96 and subsequently the 98 team. He ended up being replaced by some rapidly balding young dude whose career was pretty uneventful.
  2. Some days you just can buy a goal. Well done Morocco, but it wasn’t meant to be. Hopefully the Final will be as awesome as we hope
  3. All were too afraid to get stuck there Jesus Macron - your countrymen just scored to ensure the go to the final. You can look more enthusiastic/less awkward than that.
  4. John Strong is the fucking worst
  5. Thuram is looking to draw the foul every time he touches it. The Moroccan defenders have to wide up on these.
  6. Bit of a reversal from 2018. If it ends up being France on the other side, wouldn’t mind seeing a reversal again in the Final.
  7. My personal policy regarding PKs Avoid them at all costs against a team whose players have lived through/fought in war.
  8. You just described the English national team for its entire existence when playing a team with the semblance of a pulse.
  9. Need a side by side of delBosque and Ronaldo doing the horse lip
  10. Wouldn’t they need to beat England in the Semis for that? Assuming France doesn’t roll them first.
  11. Why get cute and try to chip? Take it around the keeper at pace and slot it home. The keeper is running at you full blast. Okay- if the last Portuguese attack is a missed header by both Ronaldo and Pepe - this would be the perfect game.
  12. Based on his face, I think that was a handball. Either way, why go with the diving header on that one. Stay on your feet.
  13. No sure if it’s maturity or just that all his energy is being spent on the actual game at his age, but the lack of bullshit from Pepe has been a little refreshing. Nice save from the Moroccan keep, followed by a pretty nervy punch.
  14. Damn. That would have been a vicious counter. They need more of this because Morocco are starting to look more and more unorganized/tired at the back.
  15. That would have been a spectacular goal from Portugal Caught the bar - right?
  16. I’m going to give the on air talent a break as I think some of them may have been good friends with Grant. I wouldn’t want to do a show in the middle of the night doing a work friend/colleague eulogy either. The online fox sports has it. I’ll wait to see how it’s handled pregame for the next match. Maybe I’m just being naïve or hoping for the best - but I think this may just coincidence. And I really hope I’m right.
  17. Well, if Argentina advance - I can guarantee you will care about a team in the finals.
  18. There wasn’t shithousery, but Neymar got the ever living shit kicked out of him all game and nobody got sent off. There were 9 cautions though. The only possible crew would be an Uruguayan one.
  19. Even if Collina came back from retirement, he couldn’t control that match. It would make a Pep/Mourinho + Figo pig head Classico look like a tea party.
  20. So I think you are right, but looking at an absolute scale and not relative one. Both of those should be red cards. But when you don’t caution things that should be cautioned, the definition for send offs get fucked up.
  21. Lahoz should be taken to task, but he is a known commodity. Anybody that watches La Liga, knows the match will be like a telenovela - and most of the players from both sides have experience with him. The fact that he didn’t control the game from the get go is the problem. Call a tight game at the beginning, throw a card or two when things start to go - players adapt. When you let shit get too far, you end up with what you get today. Messi deserved a yellow for the handball in the first half. But like Napoleon said, he won’t be telling the ref he shits in his mothers milk at 9+ mins into second half stoppage. As a general rule, any ref should hand Otamendi a caution around minute 25 for good measure. Paredes deserved two yellows for his bull shit. At least 4 Dutch subs should have been sent off for going onto the field. None of that happens and this is what you get. That being said, players just want consistency even if it’s shit. The result is the same and the players decided the game. I get pissed off at children acting like shitbags in public, but they aren’t the problem. They act how they are allowed to act. Any resulting karma coming to the Argentines would be deserved, of course. The are Argentines.
