Austria came to play.

They never felt all that threatening, despite their chances. I think the French goal / lead was inevitable.

even though it was an own goal that was a nice little run by Mbappe

Agree, but they did not bunker down like I expected. Now they are wide open to France's counter.

Motherfucking client just set meetings for 2PM CDT for the next two days. Why? Oh yeah, he is a damn Kiwi and cares about Rugby sevens. Never call him during that tournament.

Gotta figure out how to be on mute for most of it, so long briefing to build tonight and he can give it.

Again, my productivity collapses every two years about this time. Do not call me during the world cup. Just don't.

Did he lose a bet? 

[Jive Turkey 12594]

that should be a yellow.

[PittsburghTiger 6175]

Tough goal to give for Austria. They need some help from their fans.

It probably involved him needing to make PKs.

[NorthLoop 14181]

Holy fuck you gotta chip that over the GK

[InkaUtexas 25859]

Just a bit off the mark.

[Captain Ron 12866]

Kylian Lukaku

either that or go near post.  the last camera angle showed that the goalie did a nice job coming out to cut down the angle to the far post.

You talking about Mbappe's chance or the one before it?

Mbappe's.  i must have missed a chance before that.

Can't remember who it was but they were open in space and the GK had cheated out too far. He had about 2 touches that he could've used for a chip before the GK turned around and ran back. Decided to pull up instead. 

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

 France should have like four goals by now. Instead, Austria had to score one for them.

Similar kit to the Mets except that they have a massive Winnie-The-Pooh inspired yellow Coq over their hearts.

Young Dempsey would say “Nice move.”

Next level cockiness.

[Captain Ron 12866]

He got the balls allright.

Yellow? That looks like a no wall either way. Keepers ball. Maybe a foul once he had it.

[Napoleon 8660]

That yellow card had better be rescinded upon appeal.

This ref sucks.

Este.

 

BTW _ he's from Spain

[InkaUtexas 25859]

Ugly free kick.

[elfenix 34223]

hammering your own head into someone else's shoulder seems like a good punishment for diving the play beforehand.

[Napoleon 8660]

I think that Mbappe’a nose moved a centimeter or two to his left. 

[NorthLoop 14181]

wtf is he thinking?

This game ends when Belgium scores.

I’m likely to be going for Spanish citizenship at some point in the coming years so I can’t be too critical, but what a shitball.

Mbappe will be wearing a Gvardiol mask by next game.

PS- At least the Spanish ref understood that Mbappe should receive a yellow. 

PPS- Mbappe’s broken nose could change everything in this tournament. The swelling could affect his breathing, his vision, and his willingness to “get stuck in”.

Austria’s close control and short passing has let them down

[AbeFroman 2154]

And you call yourself a professional

[Braff Zacklin 13552]

 Don't let Derka see that Giroud flub.

[sidis 9823]

france with the rare kit miss. those are awful. the homes aren't much better. they should honestly codify the 2014 world cup threads as their forever and ever kits.

 

mbappe has lost his damned mind. that miss on the 1v1 with the goalie was not just uncharacteristic, it was awful.

[Derka 6149]

“austria won’t be disappointed if they lose by one.”

spoken like a true loser landon. 

[Derka 6149]

giroud needs to give mbappe some finishing lessons.

LMAO..... Worst defeat for Belgium since 1940.

SloVARkia imo

[Derka 6149]

you cannot be handing out soft yellow cards when the suspension rules are so severe. a player who gets a yellow card in game one could conceivably gets his second yellow in the 90th minute if his fourth match of the tourney, and this have to miss the semifinals because of two yellow cards in 360+ minutes. just asinine.

[Derka 6149]

what a shame that nobody gets to watch n’golo kante play club football. he’s still amazing.
