:russ: Slow your roll bro. France is going to finish on top of their group. Face Croatia in the round 16 and win. The only issue is can they beat a granite and tough Portugal in the Quarters. I think they can but Portugal got a squad. Ronaldo finally has help. That match up could get ugly fast for France.

We'll see G.

Peru aint no slouch and Denmark could get snatch and grab, the remind me of Netherlands from 2014. Not star studded but with a key/capable player in each part of the field and with good team cohesion. You best believe Australia gonna copy the US' blueprint.

As for Croatia, nah, Nigeria and Argentina to come out of that group.

wuts wrong with yall? since the days of Platini its like it just doesn't work out for some reason even when you have the superior team.

They been to 2 WC and 2 EC finals since Platini retired.

They temperamental as phuck, you truly never know what you are going to get with the French, it is a very French thing, could be a mentality thing, that it all comes so easy. One moment they are nonchalant, next min they have a brain fart and do something very stupid and often they tend to give up easily if things dont go their way.

But it isnt just in Football, its in all of their sports, especially in rugby. When they are ON, they are a delightful team to watch, the flair, artistry, the elegance of when everything is firing, theyre pretty hard team to beat. But when things are bad, theyre horrible to watch, they look like a very 2nd rate team. Even in individual sports, performances vary from day to night, you never know whcih one you going to get.
