I would love to know if you play the game because if you was on my team and had this mentality...I wouldn't trust youWell, yes, football has to keep at least some of its integrity. From the replies that I'm getting in this thread, I can tell that quite a few people here know very little about football, which is a shame.
do you know how disrespectful it is to stop playing your best against someone?
Did you watch the game? France tried to score the entire game.

Actually I know you don't because if you did you'd know even at little kid level teams routinely rape eachother with ridiculous scores like 26-5
No, that would be embarrassing to Iceland as men and demeaning to them as athletesIt really isn't when you're clearly better than the other team. Both teams would appreciate it.

What if Iceland had scored two in 5 minutes because France let up and stopped attacking? And then clawed back into the game to force extra time and maybe win on pens? The whole victory would be cheap as hell, one that nobody wanted
Oh my days you're absolutely clueless its embarassing when a team is styling on you just playing keep ball whilst multiple goals upIt really isn't when you're clearly better than the other team. Both teams would appreciate it.
No, I don't play football professionally but I have people in my intimate circle who do and if they were here then they'd tell you the very same thing. Do you play professional football, per chance?
I understood what you meant from the start, and it's still a well-intentioned but ultimately disrespectful and unsportsmanlike ideaI will say it again, I said that this should only be the case if France were ahead by 5 clear goals.
