Deschamps gets way more stick than he deserves mind, he's won a World Cup and was only a penalty shootout away from winning another . Teams literally just sit back every single time they play France which is why they have looked so poor this tournament. 

Until they meet Gareth’s swashbuckling, rapacious England team. Or not.

I’d say this is the worst international tournament I’ve ever seen, squeezing out the South Africa WC

I agree, although I think the vuvuzelas and possibly the jubilani keep it at number 1 for me. Quality-wise this is worse, 2010 Chile and Uruguay had some good matches.

Turkey Austria was immense

Austria v Netherlands was cracking. Admittedly also feel the tournament has been a bit of a dud.

You’re all off your tits it’s been solidly good. Groups stages was quality as have plenty of the knockouts plus:

  • Unfancied teams doing well and living their best lives for a long time
  • Better fancied teams being shit
  • Players announcing themselves 
  • Last minute goals aplenty
  • Atmosphere being consistently absolutely amazing
  • Tense knockout games all over the show

Worse than WC2010 FFS, that was borderline unwatchable. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Agree with the Discman, it's not been the best tournament ever but it's been absolutely fine. The third group games were a bit shit due to the format, and the knockouts have been hit or miss, but it's far from consistently shit. Definitely an element of football fatigue mind

Football fatigue for sure, coupled with England and Scotland games being atrocious. Then a lot of the bigger teams playing shite defensive football. I’ve enjoyed the less fancied teams and their approach

16 out of 24 teams going through is what kills it IMO. Too many meaningless games in the group kills the momentum, and then it doesn't help when the big teams are all shite.

Is there much pressure from the public/press for him to be dropped? Or is he just universally adored? He's quite clearly holding you back

Much like Andy Murray at Wimbledon there’s a few egos that need to be put back in their place. Old legends just taking places and robbing others of them.

What fucking daft cunt decided that 9pm (or 8pm BST) on a Sunday was the best time for the final to kick off? Just have it at 6 pm local time or something

He can't accept he's done at the highest level, it's sad really.

 

He's gonna try and win a World Cup because he's jealous that Messi did, or die in the attempt. 😪

It's mental. 

 

Everyone and their dogs can see how much he's holding them back now.

 

Someone at the Portuguese FA needs to grow a pair and just tell him He's done.
