  1. Disagree. It’s PSG. Since Rai, PSG only has one level of drama - high.
  2. The current generation of France is like a dynamic version of what Germany used to be.
  3. After cooling off and avoiding thread and post game analysis The two most frustrating for me were not protecting your midfield either with formation or tactics. Gregg already showed we don’t have to play 4-3-3. We don’t have a 9 and our midfield was on complete fumes at min 70 against Iran. My wife, whose understanding of soccer consists of watching our kids and two seasons of Ted Lasso, would have come off looking like Nate Shelley yesterday. and the personnel decisions. This obviously includes the initial selection, but Christian needed to come off at half. I understand giving him a go, but he was so obviously not fit. I’ll even give Gregg a pass on grasping at straws with Jesus and then going back to Haji. But the fact that Jordan Morris played in game of any consequence of the World Cup where we were within 8 goals of taking or giving up the lead - should have resulted in immediate dismissal following the whistle. If Luca is too hurt, I would have rather brought on CCV and parked Zimmerman in the box to knock down balls and maybe challenge VanDijk. Of course, besides tactics and personnel decisions - I’m not sure what other responsibilities fall under the managers purview.
  4. Poland making Giroud look quick right there. Unless Poland can get one back early in the second, I think this France may get another four spot. And Lloris immediately on a walkabout trying to keep ratings up.
  5. I hate how so many teams have shied away from the three color uniforms by fucking around with the short/sock color. France should be blue/white/red. Brazil should be yellow/blue/white. Mexico should be green/white/red. Poland with a present on this free kick and Tchouameni with an unlucky card. Wow. Much better from Poland. No idea how two of those stayed out.
  6. Poland providing marginally more resistance today than 1939. Assuming chalk wins today, they may drub England by 4.
  7. He at least provides some entertainment or moments of brilliance. He’s on the short list of course. I would add Vinnie Jones (before he started acting) Pepe Joey Barton And he really isn’t even the worst Uruguayan footballer. I’m pretty sure their proctology practices against Scotland in 86 have to count for some cuntiness points.
  8. The one thing that never gets brought up in the Suarez/Ghana 2010 discusiĂłn is the absolute Superman dive the Ghanaian player took to set up the set piece the play came from. It should have ended up in penalties anyway with Suarez available against the Netherlands. Uruguay is the one who should be pissed. Also, fuck the Ghanaian national team.
  9. Not sure. Considering no facts or laws are on his side, he should be banging the table - but its almost like he is arguing facts. Why would we trust goal line technology to tell us if a ball is scored and not if the ball crosses the same line outside some posts?
  10. Yeah i figured someone would have tapped her on the shoulder. Someone got to her. Warren Barton seems to think a 6 goal GD is easy to overcome in extra time.
  11. While I am rooting for your scenario, I’m not sure the players can hear them.
  12. I’m pretty sure we all thought that 30 mins through the Japan game.
  13. At this point, one goal from Japan would put them back in second with GD and GF equal.
  14. Canada can’t break down teams that defend and counter (Wales/Iran). They also wouldn’t have survived an onslaught from the Brits. They would have maybe have gotten a point for a scoreless draw against Iran (assuming Iran only needed a point and England beat Wales 3-0).
  15. The Germans like to continue the conspiracy theory that Hurst’s second in 1966 never crossed the line. When the Soviet linesman was asked by the German captain how he could rule it in, he replied, “Stalingrad.”
  16. Huh? Who besides Musiala would count as young? Schlotterbeck? They just played a team with two teenage midfielders and their top forward is 22.
  17. Draw seems about right. Spain needed to stay on the front foot. Germany really needs bench Mueller and Gnabry to make sure and start fast against Costa Rica.
