Gyökeres being smashed in the nose should at the very least be a stop in play.

While I am not going to moan about VAR, the referees are too easily swayed in a lot of games.

I see no way back for Sweden, sadly. Unlike the Swedish poster here, I would like the neighbours to do well. But, yeah, France will win this World Cup. On the back of wealth from the Persian Gulf.  :cry:

Although quite looking forward to them against Paraguay.

And assuming they go through that - and I love Canada and our Canadians - but a Morocco-France quarter final would be good :ph34r:

Valiant effort.

I would very much enjoy an upset against Morocco, but it would be a massive upset.

Both GK will be Montreal born in that game. That's probably a first.
Getting ready to make IEDs against American Occupation Forces.

On to Paraguay



One of the few countries France has never waged war with...either as an ally or enemy.

Edit: Oh it looks like Paraguay declared war on the Axis in 1945. So there is that.

Although in same ways Paraguay is the France of Latin America. The first leader of Paraguay was deeply inspired by the Rousseau, Robespierre and Napoleon becoming first the Consul and then the Supreme and Perpetual Dictator of Paraguay (I'm fairly sure there's a Vargas Llosa novel about him). And Paraguay, its military led by the Marshals of Paraguay, later decided to declare on most of its neighbours: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay at once (which was absolutely devastating).

Even aside from the underdog element I've weirdly actually been to Paraguay for a very few short days so have a bit of a soft spot for them (although France is better as a tourist destination :lol:).

France looks unstoppable
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

While I like you personally , trumps America cannot see victory, sorry. May you feel sorrow that exceeds Italy's.

Apart from like 2 half occasions from Sweden, this was a walk in the park. If Gyokeres and Isak are worth 100 million (lol), Barcola, Doué, Mbappé, Olise etc are worth trillions then.

Weren't all the independence movements in South America inspired by the French Revolution to some degree? :P
