Brad Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Happy that Colombia made it through. There are many Colombianos in our area and I’m sure they are celebrating. I think they will have a tough time with either Belgium or England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Belgian coach put out their 2nd squad for today’s match. Doesn’t he want to win against England for this first time in almost 100 years?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uli Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 that 2nd squad looks pretty good to me. i give them a 50% chance to beat England, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Based on today’s lineups, it may be difficult to draw any conclusions from the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Belgian 2nd squad is making fools out of England’s center backs. If I were Colombia, I’d pray to play England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 But it won't be those centre backs in the next round unless there's a raft of injuries or Southgate loses his mind This has all the intensity of a friendly. No injury time at the end of the half says it all really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 thank heavens that was our second string. No invention or penetration and no midfielder who could pass. Apart from that they were good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Didn’t make for good viewing by a neutral. Fortunately dull games have been a relatively rare occurrence in this year’s competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I will be rooting for Argentina today even though this may cost me a CD. One thing France has that no other country has is the best national anthem. Nothing compares to it, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Don’t cry for me Argentina Notwithstanding the three goals by Argentina, this was not a great Argentina team. France was impressive and with a little better defense, they could could have won more comfortably. They vault up in my estimation but if they face Uruguay, I’m not sure I see them winning Get my cd ready Dmitry Edited June 30, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitry Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Argentine coach is a fucking moron. Argentinian defense was shit, wasn’t it. God damn amateurs lost them the match. Messi is a genius. Mbappe is a genius in the making. He made France’s match, single-handed. Barcelona or Real must have him at any cost. Brad, pick what you want from Amazon.

brownie Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 It was nice to see the French team come back from nowhere and Mbappe prove his talent to the world at large.Will watch more of their games in the next few days. Sad to witness Messi in defeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Dmitry, will let you know. The final score could have been worse had France cashed in that confusion between the keeper and the defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Well played France. Impressive throughout the side. Argentina were poor and looked old not experienced. Why no Aguero from the start - crazy selection. Some great goals. A joy for a neutral. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of this French side, especially Mbappe. Hopefully all the way to the final where they lose to England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting ready for the second match, garnacha is flowing fast and plentiful here on Calle Santa Maria. Btw...btw, not a single VAR stop in the A-F match, have you noticed?

Brad Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 This is a very unusual match. All the stats heavily favor Portugal. They should be winning but are not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
