That would probably be the largest upset in the history of international sports. Every step you say... "No way". But they have already written a super resume. Won a group with Belgium and Croatia, knocked out Spain and Portugal. They are a fun team to root for, but at some point you will need to score a goal in a short period of time... I don't see how they can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch trash talked the whole time as well... did you not see the overhead videos off the field. It was an emotional, passionate game for them all. I think van Gaal made some comments about Netherlands winning in penalties. I hope you never watch CONMEBOL football.... yeah people acting like Argentinians got heated for no reason are being ridiculous. Both teams were being extremely chippy and talking a ton of ****. There was also a lot of grabbing and shoulder checking in that game. A lot of balls rolling out of bounds included an entirely unnecessary, but allowed, shoulder to shoulder collisions. I haven’t looked into the background of that game, but it seemed evident to me the sides didn’t care for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Can't tell if Fox is hyping up this game or wanting us to root for England. They are talking about how "likable" they are... sure we are also english speaking media... we are in such a different generation between athletes as a whole who are not focussed on their individual teams and don't take the sport so personally.

Barry.Randolphe Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 6 minutes ago, Destino said: What’s with the French and chicken symbols? That's the Gallic rooster. From wiki: Quote the association between the rooster and the Gauls/French was developed by the kings of France for the strong Christian symbol that the rooster represents: prior to being arrested, Jesus predicted that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crowed on the following morning. At the rooster's crowing, Peter remembered Jesus's words. Its crowing at the dawning of each new morning made it a symbol of the daily victory of light over darkness and the triumph of good over evil. It is also an emblem of the Christian's attitude of watchfulness and readiness for the sudden return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment of humankind. That is why, during the Renaissance, the rooster became a symbol of France as a Catholic state and became a popular Christian image on weather vanes, also known as weather****s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 @Barry.Randolphe I think it was a foul, but contact initiated outside of the box. There was one on Saka near the top of the box (outside) not whistled. Ref is letting them play a bit. England had Kane 1v1 on goal and Lloris snuffed it out. We didn't see the corner where the ball was sitting around for a moment as well. Thought those were going to be goals. Better chances than a 25 m outside the box strike. Should have an exciting 2nd half... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Not for nothing, but I'm not sure an equalizer would be enough for England. What little I've seen of Pickford, nothing has stood out about him. I'd rather have the French goalie if this went to penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 What a foolish foul, but France has been playing with fire with challenges around the box. Rabiot should have had a touch on that. But at least he forced the save. Game on!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 England is getting a lot of chances but getting nothing out of it. If they lose they’re definitely going to feel like they let this one slip away. You’ve got to make the most of what chances you get in this sport. France meanwhile scored their lone goal from about a mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I don't like begging for PKs on something like that, but Upamecano looks like he could lose the game for France. ... Giroud is the type of player we need on America. We got another 17 minutes of English pressure. England is right there... the game is not over.
