owlinexile Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 There's been a real divide in this world cup between the European sides and the 'Rest of the World' when it comes to setting out to niggle and foul and just be generally unpleasant. Teams line Colombia and Uruguay have enough quality to be above all that but they haven't been. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Surprised how flat Uruguay seemed but can't help but be impressed by France, even though that seemed surprisingly comfortable for them. The Semi Final against Brazil or Belgium should be a cracker but I give up expecting or predicting anything with this tournament, just end up looking daft, much like with Championship predictions.

Ethel The Tree Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Uruguay 0-2 France ... First half was okay - but if the French were a bit lucky to go in 1-0 up then their second goal but the cap on it Needed Uruguay to score to make it a game but all we got was handbags and then nothing much at all Are France really going to stumble through to the final thanks to a series of lucky breaks? Well according to ITV's commentator they've 'powered' their way through to the semis He was kidding, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree why they do it is beyond me, it also seems to be counter productive and they end up having a siege mentality against the referee. Shame really as they undoubtedly have the ability to play at a very high. More fool them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you formatted it I think France have been effective without being spectacular but they showed their attacking abilities in the game against Argentina. Brazil or Belgium should be a much more of a test. But who knows with this tournament but I'd be mindful of teams that grow into the team or progress in a effective manner like that.

We know it’s going to be close , we could easily lose , it’s the England / Wednesday way !! . We're in a perfect position to follow the National team. We have a history of winning major trophies, but we no longer have the best players in the world. It must be difficult for the Manchester team fans to watch England. However, we know on our day we can beat anyone. We know we can throw it away against anyone too. COME ON ENGLAND!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 To say it was a game that won't live long in the memory is a bit of an understatement I expected a lot more from two 'top' teams playing for a place in a semi final of the World Cup too Let's see ... there was the second French goal, courtesy of a goalie error that was almost Robert Green-esque and Mbappe went down poleaxed shortly afterwards - Why? mm ... don't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
