I am somebody who doesn't name drop who I know on the net to people I will never meet.
Good night.
This is very interesting. During both world wars, ''tirailleurs sénégalais'' those african soldiers came and saved the french ass before being completely ignored by history. I would ask the coli to google them. Their grand sons could do the same in the pitch... Senegalese Tirailleurs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Go ahead, tell me about samba and feijoada and Pelé, we get it
This isn't about cultures outside of athletic culture. Nobody wants to be treated with kid gloves
I guarantee a goal by Griezmann.
Iceland was more than tough enough to handle it, even though I know what you mean.
Easy. Being top scorer, and tournament goals in general, pays.
Giroud can get a lot of brehs off his back if he Golden Boots here. Retain his leading role at Arsenal even.
Gignac, Payet, Martial playing for moves to big clubs. Goals matter.
Greizmann playing for GOAT status. Title gets past around these days like the IBF belt so he's in the running.
This will be the last time that I post on the matter as we've derailed this thread for long enough.
I didn't name drop anyone. That poster- can't remember their name- asked me if I played football (professionally, I assumed) as if that would somehow validate my comments. I then said that although I didn't, I knew of people who did and who would agree with me, in order to give him the validation that he sought. He then assumed that I was just putting that out there to brag or something, which I wasn't. I apologise as I should have made it clear in my response to them but I was too focused on something else they said.
Hence why I said "if", when they were 4-0 up.
I don't understand this comment, I would ask you to expatiate but I don't want to derail the thread any further.
When I mentioned your cultural upbringing, I was purely talking about football btw. Not every country's football culture is the same and I respect that. As for the bolded, I completely agree with this but there is a reason why many teams resort to damage limitation when they're behind by 5+ goals and most simply will not care if they're being handled with 'kid gloves' or not- their pride is already gone (in that particular match). Like I said before, football is a results game and not only does a 10-0 win in the latter stages of a tournament absolutely humiliate the losing team, it also degrades the competition in a way. It's funny, out of all the posters who've replied to me recently, you're the only one who's actually concerned about the losing team, I actually commend you for that.
That is true, I'd never really considered that before.
As for the bolded, lol but would a club seriously confirm their interest in a player just because he scores say... the 6th, 7th or 8th goal of the match? I can't see that making much of a difference- maybe if he's on a hat trick, I suppose but for anything else, I'm not sure. I still maintain that clubs generally have an unwritten code of conduct that they abide by, for this and many other reasons.
This is not directed at you per se but it's kind of related to your post. I don't believe that this 'rule', if you will, was created to prevent the losing team's feelings from getting hurt- I can understand why you would think that that was implied in my posts but it's not what I meant at all. It's more to do with keeping the integrity of the tournament via 'respecting' the clubs participating in it, which is why I was only referring to big international/intercontinental/cross-continent tournaments.
Edit: This is the last time that I'll post on the matter. Goodness!
Hummels, Gomez, Khedira out, Schweinsteiger questionable... Löw now has his biggest tactical challenge ever. Will he go with a defensive type flow (höwedes, mustafi, boateng in a 3:5:2 formation) or is he risking it all with more offensive (Özil at the six with Kroos and Draxler, Götze, Sane and Mueller also on the pitch).
