World Cup 2026

Yamalist? Lol not my team  nor my player. I do think he's good though. Wouldn't be the first young player to fizzle out, i just don't see it at the moment. 

He was injured until recently.

Ouch

[Zoupa]

yikes. I guess that's it for us. 

[HVC]

Was a pretty, if disallowed,  goal.

[Zoupa]

We haven't come close to the level of passing and movement in the final third that we had in previous games. And I think mentally that 1st goal just screwed us up. Sad ending to a great team 

[crazy canuck]

Off side, but I guess the kid is a lot more flash than pan.

Repeat of euro 2024 possible? Spain england final.

I approve of kicking a man when he's down in this case.

I really thought France had more in them. They were my bet on winning from the beginning. Even before the penalty they weren't meshing like normal.
Nerves I guess.

Maybe nerves, maybe we haven't come up against a team set up like Spain. Defense wins tournaments, they always say. We set up like them in 2018 and 2022 and went all the way, and I was bitching the whole time about how Deschamps is the worst kind of catenaccio boring coach.

Well, I can't bitch now

That, or stronger opposition than B-Norway.

Your flashy pan with a red card challenge on Mbappe. Carry on.

That's part, sure,  but even the passing is off lots of offsides and miscues

*edit a lot by French standards.
