you are a kid. I didnt see the match, but I can tell you many times I saw all of these words together in the 90s and early 2000s.


a summer off :blessed:
I was about to say. shyt looked like a 90's flashback. Type of shyt that'd really make an American question liking the sport.

Good thing I didn't have that problem down here :mjpls:

how do giroud and konscielny looks solid for arsenal but look like utter shyt for france ?
Giroud is a team player. He looks great for Arsenal because everyone understands their role and not try and be superstars. The French team is the exact opposite and he sticks out. Giroud tries to play people in, then Ribery just dribbles and fukks up the move.

Koscielny usually good for France but was a disaster today. He prone to stupid fouls too.

I read a great suggestion on The Guardian today saying they should take the left out players whose national team didn't make the World Cup and assemble them into one rainbow coalition/UN team to compete to throw some variety in the mix. The wild card team.

Zlatan and Lewandowski up front :ohhh::ohlawd:

Bale cutting in :ohhh:

Rambo the engine in midfield :lawd:

Donovan Ricketts as goalkeeper :sadcam:

I really don't see why people are ruling out a win in France? Ukraine didn't look spectacular at all and if there's anything that France does, its perform when they're under the most pressure. 2-0 really doesn't seem out of the realm of imagination tbh and I actually expect it.

As much as I like Kos, he was awful, and Varane has looked better than him with France. Not sure why he didn't start today.

There should be another tournament, like the NIT or the Europa League, played at home stadiums in July

Come on brehs, Kos was good until the pen. I think he got fed up to be one of the few in the team to go HARD because we got roughed up since the beginning. Look at Abidal : he's the prime example of the physical fight we lost, he got abused all the match and if the ref could have whistled a pen against him because his fault was more obvious than Kos'. Sakho would have bullied some of the Ukrainians. Kos lost it but he was one of the best (with Pogba and maybe Matuidi) on the field until that. And that says it all : our defensive midifielders and one of our defenders were our best players. We can add Giroud but he didn't have too many balls and was consistently bullied because he's too nice. He should have had an assist if Nasri didn't shot that softly on the goal.

And Varane is the future, I like him. But he's not THAT good yet. Above all, lately with his injury he's kinda suspect... Did you see the Juve-Real match a few weeks ago. He was responsible on both goals...

this

might as well have moved Pogba to 10. Dead serious. I saw him create at least 2 chances. And that's with him playing real deep. And have him bully the box.
Nasri's passing :scusthov:
Nah bruh, Pogba is an 8, he can create chances because he's deep and got time, when he's high on the field, he goes for the goal. But he's smart and still improving, so maybe in the future.

The problem is that we always shone with a proper 10. It's stupid but this is our way : Kopa in the late 50's, Platini in the 80's, Zidane in the 90's/2000's. Yesterday, we didn't have a 10 because we simply don't have enough players with intelligence. Nasri could be but he likes to go deep to outnumber the midfield, therefore he slows down the build-up, Valbuena is burned-out after playing every possible games since august, Grenier is too young and isn't shining anymore, Gourcuff is too injury-prone and play on the left these days and so on.

Honestly I hope that we win and qualify on Tuesday but I don't believe it. And if we lose, at least I hope we'll do it guns blazing. Did y'all see the hunger in the Ukrainian team ? These dudes were out there to kill and that was the difference. I hope we go with only one holder in a fukkin 4/3/3, trying to score as many goals as possible with no regard to take some in the process. But Deschamps is a conservative dude, not sure he can do that.
