Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 ... Anyone else remember all the abuse the England penalty takers got last Euros? Giroud is still on? Interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 England had this one in the palm of their hands and just couldn’t close their fingers and claim it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 ... Gotta be at least 10 min of stoppage time due to the PKs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Such a horrendous PK by Kane. His form was all messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 .... I think England got hosed on 8 min of extra time and will get hosed with time added for injuries here too ... (their own even). But they have not created many chances here near the end of the game after the PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Fun game to watch. With England out, my allegiance will shift to any country who has never won, so I'll be pulling for a very unlikely Croatia - Morocco final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 England are like the Dallas Cowboys of international soccer. All the expectations every time, always choke it away. Don't see how France don't repeat at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re obviously the favorite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Overall I think England played a better game but at no time did they lead so not sure why everyone is making it seem like it was their game to lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to face our most lethal enemy next game and it's not Morocco (props to their performance so far) it's Arrogance ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) ... Here go our American broadcasters talking about a moral victory in soccer for England. If the French defense can make mistakes they know their offense can overcome. Hakimi vs. Mbappe (teammates at PSG) will be a fantastic match-up to watch. Only Messi still survives (edit: out of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar). Edited December 10, 2022 by Fergasun Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah we had France at 1-1 and Southgate does what he does best when it matters....nothing...should have made attacking substitutions when France were on the back foot. Not at 1-2 down. He has a track record of that in big games. I hope they sack him so that our young attacking talent isn’t wasted. On balance I did still think France were average, but they won’t and nor should they care, they won.

Fergasun Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 This is what makes soccer interesting. The US announcers should have talked about how amazing Griezmann has been for France. Mbappe may score goals but he is their MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a good mid-tier hotel too. It's like $240 or something for two nights, and that includes resort fees taxes and everything. Granted it is a Monday and Tuesday night but still solid deal. Only negative in my mind is the casino doesn't have a poker room. I just walk across the street to the Venetian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Posted up at the Bellagio sportsbook ⚽️ Went under 2 and Croatia to advance. Don't want any goals this first half then Croatia to score late in the second. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
