wc semi 1 :: La bataille des hydres à trois têtes

[Fudge Nuggets 19224]

I love how both these teams go hard after every ball.  None of that sit back on your heels and let it come to you.

[Captain Ron 12921]

Oh Olivier

[HenryJames 66171]

Smart play by Dembele there.

[Spartan52 151]

France have worked out how to slow Hazard down...

Snipers?

[Doc Sam Beckett 5797]

Is Kante considered a little person? He looks to be about 3'11" 

[HenryJames 66171]

Spraying freon on Giroud.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

is that the same as turning an air duster can upside down? magic spray

 

[hayden_horn 11365]

i know soccer players sometimes rightfully take a bad rap for diving and theatrics, but that shit that just happened to giroud fucking hurts

Institute the Stoke approach.

[AUS-97HORN 11823]

huge fucking 1-1 save by the Belgian keeper

There's the medical treatment for him.

[Spartan52 151]

Courtois positions himself well there

[HenryJames 66171]

Wow.

[Trey3216 15356]

What a fucking save 

[Goo Punch 4275]

what a chance.

[Firemans4Horn 18122]

Big miss. 

[SpiralOut 1818]

Courtois still killing it.

[Fudge Nuggets 19224]

God damn, France can’t shoot for shit.

I don't recall who it was that wanted to compare Courtois to Tim Howard, but after this first half can we officially agree that Timmy couldn't carry Courtois' gloves?

Probably some fucktard that only watches MLS and international Football.

[AUS-97HORN 11823]

lol  just drag down the frog

[hayden_horn 11365]

surprised that wasn't accompanied by a yellow card

[Spartan52 151]

Jfc, if Pogba fell over that easy every time he wouldn't make it out of the tunnel to get on to the pitch

[SpiralOut 1818]

Ruh roh.  Close range free kick incoming.

no fear- sideshow bob stopped it

[WBT 20669]

Griezmann needs to get that past the wall at least

[Captain Ron 12921]

Don't aim at Fellaini's fro, no way to score there.

[Spartan52 151]

Ohh, damn boy, put that one away!

Can't recall a Griezmann shot that didn't end up in the stands 

[kingkoopa6 8377]

wow. on a platter

[AUS-97HORN 11823]

half time.....    I still think it could end up being 2-1 Belgium.      belgium has been pushing hard.

[Anastasis 23485]

wowz

[Captain Ron 12921]

There's that WWII French defense.

[Cameltoe 114]

Hey Roberto Martinez, put Mertens in the ball game. K thanks.

[Spartan52 151]

Might be 0-0 score line but a very entertaining half of football

[alincoln 2385]

Fekir for Giroud, move Mbappe to the middle and put Fekir on the right.

Dembele was awful in possession.  Replace him with Mertens and move Fellaini back next to Witsel.

 

[The Maestro 758]

Good half of ball.  Two heavyweights feeling each other out.  Two great keepers keeping their teams in it.

What do ya'll think about over 2.5 goals in regulation (asking for a friend)?

Not a great half for this play.

I like this call about Dembele

He's literally the only reason I'm not rooting for Belgium.  

[Spartan52 151]

Lukakku. Oooooooo

[AUS-97HORN 11823]

belgium back to hitting the ball everywhere but the back of the net

[alincoln 2385]

Just now, Spartan52 said:

He couldn't get on top of it because Varane was on his back.  Cross should have gone to Fellaini

[Spartan52 151]

Nice turn by Giroud

[Spartan52 151]

Goal!
1-0 France
