Hope someone puts Jota in the stand, such a little creep

Worth the prior hour and a half just to see that fucking egotistical man child crying

GTFI what a save fuck off

Doesn't seem to happen around any other club to the extent we get it. I don't see clubs "circling around" for Saka or Odegaard, or "prepared to swoop" for Watkins or Bailey or any of the cartel 6s' best players. Our players get consistently sold in the media and it's gone back decades, not a recent thing.

This is one lingering rumor I really wish would fuck off.

At least there's the prospect of jammy buggers France booting cunt Ronny and his merry band of cheats and twats out in the next round

Right answer. Love Nico W. as well but no longer remotely realistic, Raphinha would be brilliant and transformational

These teams ranked 1 and 2 coming into the tournament, have a day off man

Music after a goal

Kante is by far France's most consistently excellent performer

It was but I honestly don't even have him in my top 10 all time. Just my opinion. He's explosive, has scored a lot in France, just don't think he compares to the greats. Plus he's a diving whiner. I will say that defending in general is a heck of a lot better than it was in the 70s and 80s so that factors in a bit. Just for me, a player who when his speed wanes, so will he.

Good point, is there a standout player at the tournament? Can't think of many, particularly the "big name" players, a couple on Germany. Nico Williams has been brilliant for Spain, favorite player at this thing.

Think it's more the online weirdos think they've gotten one over us and are on their way "back". He's already jumped ship twice, what makes them think he wouldn't do the same to them. Odd thing to celebrate really. Hope he stepped on a garden rake and smashed his own nose in while finishing up his gardening leave. Beyond that, couldn't care less.

Yep, he did that literally 30 seconds after I posted, never fails. Just find the constant slaver over him weird and annoying and, outside of WC 18, way over the top generally.

Maybe I was in the bog and missed it but yet to see Mbappe do anything noteworthy in this tournament

What a ball in that was

Absolute trash refereeing here, fussy as fuck

Always enjoyed the name Barkevious Mingo, think he played for the Jets

Him and Mamar with a new CB, i'd believe anything was possible

Ref doing well, exact opposite to the England one, game is flowing brilliantly

Nico is some boy like, what a player @HaydnNUFC

Looking forward to watching a well-coached, coherent and exciting side in Spain and seeing Khara in action

It'd be nice to think that this mess this can be sorted out and a real plan drawn up to beat the Swiss and actually look decent for once while doing it but all the evidence so far suggests that GS does not learn, continually plays in a way that just doesn't really work, and ignores the fact it's unbalanced and disjointed and boring to watch and we're incredibly lucky to get to the QF. Tournaments are notoriously difficult for changing personnel, tactics and mentality from game to game but if the obvious changes haven't yet been made, hard to see it happening now. Same again for Saturday i'd think.

Anthony Gordon, ya know that pacy skilfull FK-winning winger, would have been pretty handy to stretch things in ET. Why bother with that though, bring on more workhorses and play deep instead.

You just knew Gallagher would come on, wouldn't get a game for Scotland, worthless at DM
