It's tea time for the redcoats, they got slav-ed out big time. Would love nothing more than to see France get the same treatment but also everything I've heard paints them as a huge favorite.

Twitter is interesting at the moment...

#lovren has just had the whole #england #ENGCRO team in his arse pocket. Made up for him after all the shite he took from all the cockney loving Kane adoring bellends! Gutted for England but happy for Lovren.

Saw this over at a Raider board but thought it was worth sharing.

As long as Baseball, Football, and Basketball pay better the best athletes will gravitate towards those sports. Tennis and Golf pay very well if you are great at them as well.

I was thinking the same thing. England has literally never beaten us outside of the international friendlies. They would have to actually win a match that mattered before it was considered a “rivalry”

Soccer has 3 of the top 5 richest athletes. The other 2 are fighters. Followed by mostly basketball players. Basically anyone who can market themselves. If Pulisic can continue his rise and make a transfer to the Premier League he’ll likely become one of the richest American athletes. He’s already the face of US soccer at 19.

Dammit Croatia. C'mon, don't lose to the "France" team.

Well now we know both teams came to play. Now to see who has the stamina.

Croatia dominating, and down 2-1. France has no business being up in the game.

Eventually you have to stop giving the more talented team free goals.

Close call, at speed appeared inadvertent, but clearly brought hand down into the flight of the ball. Further, inadvertent or not, it interfered with the path of the ball towards goal.

Bad luck, bad bounce, but not necessarily a bad call. Kind of like our shittiest CB bopping a shitty pass right into the hands of the opposition's best receiver for a TD instead of an INC [or INT].

eDave 07-15-2018 09:45 AM
Well look at that; A Frenchman acting like a vag.

Not even close to a bad call. Dude shook hands with the ball. Have to know where you are on the pitch and know where your hands are(easier said than done, but still). Croatia is writing the handbook on how to lose as a scrappy underdog. Dominating possession and dictating pace but shitting themselves in big moments.

Simply Red 07-15-2018 10:02 AM
France is notorious for being cozy with the refs.

The British announcers I'm listening to disagree with you.

On the hand ball? Did you see it? I’d be shocked and concerned if anybody with eyes thinks that’s a bad call

eDave 07-15-2018 10:18 AM
Looked like they stopped play, then the goal.

Chiefspants 07-15-2018 10:18 AM
Croatia is dominating almost every aspect of this game, but they just can't counter France's forwards and what I want to call fast breaks - and it may be the difference.

Why Not? 07-15-2018 10:19 AM
That’s game. **** France but they took advantage of a team that sure looked like they had stage fright to me.

Baby Lee 07-15-2018 10:19 AM
And there's the fatigue leading to disarray.

jd1020 07-15-2018 10:20 AM
Haven't watched any matches since the group stages since Germany got knocked out but I'm getting flashbacks watching this match.

Croatia just dominating the game but every time France finally breaks out on a counter its butt clenching time for Croatia.

Simply Red 07-15-2018 10:21 AM
well that was a fun run - they certainly didn't get curb stomped - they had to stop teams for France to get two of their three goals. No shame Croatia. Croatian has dominated the regular play

The BBC crew were focused on the 'intentional' aspect, saying it happened too quickly.

Like I said earlier, it's in the gray area, but the degree with which the hand extended to make sole contact, and the fact that it altered the path of the ball on goal made the inference reasonable, even if not a given or absolutely unambiguous.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Yeah didn’t seem intentional but def hand ball.

Let the rout begin.

Croatia going full blown Brazil from 4 years ago now.

What makes MBappe so amazing, particularly at his age, is not only is he among the fastest on the pitch, but handling the ball doesn't slow him down.

EDIT: And the rout is on.

Why Not? 07-15-2018 10:25 AM
I turned to my family after 3-1 and said “this is headed for a 5-1 final”. I may have been to nice. Croatia gonna mail it in. Don’t blame them, they’re exhausted and disappointed.

Dual citizenship. Then once you play an OFFICIAL world match, not including friendlies, you are locked to that nation for your career.

USA has a couple Germans playing on their team, or at least in 2014. I dont follow the USA soccer because its so bad.

It makes for poor television. I cover most of the games off Facebook Live due to the lack of home games and it lacks luster. However, it is exciting to watch live.

Baby Lee 07-15-2018 10:49 AM
A lot of the 'cosmopolitan' nature of the French squad comes from their training academies.

Kids come from all over to French soccer academies to learn at the highest level and decide they like it so much they pledge to the national team.
