Kept thinking that the Germans would eventually pick their way through the French defence to allow a shot at goal but they could have played all night and never find one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that with possibly three teams qualifying from most groups there is little jeopardy in the group games so the better teams will take it easy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, Germany only needs to beat Hungary to qualify and I'd be amazed if they don't. For most of these top sides the tournament only starts after the group stage. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,351 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 There are calls for Rudiger to get retrospectively banned. Lads nibbling on each other and everyone wants blood. Game's gone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,580 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Wish they'd retrospectively punish players for theatrical diving. Just seems to be accepted across the board these days. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really should be a 5th official whose only job is to rush on to the field and bludgeon these actors with a 5 iron. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th of foot 5,827 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I was impressed with the French last evening. A first half of 45 minutes with two minutes added on, followed by a second 45 minutes with six minutes added on. The Referee actually played just in excess of 8 minutes. One hundred minutes of holding out against Teutonic aggression, that's twenty minutes longer than they achieved in 1940. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
