LOL at stadium booing everyone.

France needs 2 or 3 players banned by video review

Who do they play next? Theyre done. Worse than Greece

 

[jett]

You mean by France right?

It was a b-team, so I'll give 'em a break. Ecuador needed a win desperately and played a defensive game the entire time.

Those French misses were hilarious though. They sure love to shoot straight at the goalie.

 

[Road]

This night, UEFA won.

Ecuador and Honduras out. The disgrace of the Americas. =P

This thread :lol

France win

"DARK HORSES"

France draw with no incentive

"THIS IS THE TEAM EVERYONE HYPED LOL"

You short termists

This. All the French players are trying to do is not injure themselves or tire themselves out, they're all thinking about the next game. No reason to put in any more effort than the strict minimum. Don't know why anyone was expecting any different.

Can't believe Ecuador couldn't just get one goal here to advance.

They needed two.

 

[Regulus Tera]

You have failed Latin America, Ecuador and Honduras.

 

[pulga]

It's roasting in Brazil and because FIFA doesn't allow drinks breaks below a certain temperature, the players are drenched in sweat.

As such, it's no surprise that elbows are accidentally colliding into faces like we can see in the Giroud GIF.

(because they are slippery).

Damn you should work for Uruguay/Liverpool PR

Spoiler

come back to the thread

 

[Baleoce]

Fair enough result. Neither side deserved to win. France because they couldn't finish for shit, and Ecuador because they only brought their center forward on in the 89th minute, even though they needed 2 goals, and that was after bringing off a forward for a defender 10 minutes before. 10 men sure, but you have to go all out in that situation.

Before Hondura's second match I remember you predicting Honduras wouldn't win any of their games. You even thought they might rescue a point and went as far as betting Pulga.

What was that bet? 'Cause I think you won!

Glorious UEFA

 

[figadapaura]

These pair of games have resulted in the least traffic and posts on GAF's WC thread up to this point. I dont remember another game that made this so slow.

Japan - Greece

fucking awful

 

[oni_saru]

I should have just kept watching the SUI/HON game on my TV then switch it to the crappy FRA/ECU. -.- France plz

Omg super nervous about tomorrow. I want to believe Germany will win tomorrow. Please no tie or loss Germany. Plzzzzzzzz!!!!

 

[Neo C.]

European teams redeemed.

France and Switzerland advance to the next round, Bosnia has won at least one game. Worst is still England.

You don't remember them winning at an aggregate of 8 goals to 2 in the last two matches?

Or beating this thread's beloved fucking Jamaica 8-1

This thread gets more stupid by the day :lol. My posting has slowed way down here. Pls enjoy the rest of the World Cup without me. Forza England.

But they couldn't score against a team with 10 players that was attacking, it's not like Ecuador parked the bus like other shitty teams.

Kudos to Ecuador, that is finishing a WC with dignity.

 

[ramoisdead]

Ecuador goalie played with all heart. Wish the teammates did the same before the last 10 minutes of the game. France had so many chances to score yet failed to capitalized.

I'll miss Ecuador =[

 

[Juicy Bob]

I think Valencia's challenge, while nowhere near as bad as plenty of challenges I've seen in this tournament, was worthy of a red card.

The rules have to be strict when it comes to two footed challenges to protect players.

 

[zert]

Finally more European teams.

 

[Xpike]

France is going against Nigeria and Switzeland against Argentina, let's go Nigeria and Swtizerland!

 

[CTLance]

Otti beaming from ear to ear.

Gonna miss Ecuador though, that was quite a fun game, especially once they lost their 11th guy. Fought bravely, but it was not to be. Sometimes it's like that.

 

[Milestoned]

france ruined my bet so hope nigeria beats them.

Yep. I was sure that France would win this easily.

 

[zroid]

Shame about Ecu, but i thought both teams played decently

french did basically everything but finish

you have to give some credit to Dominguez too of course

 

[FDC1]

This is the French team everyone was building up? I suppose they didn't have much incentive to go all out here, but seriously...

no, that was the b-team

 

[Wilbur]

:lol

The bet was if England don't beat Costa Rica I have to change my name to Steven Gerrard, and if Honduras don't win either of their two remaining games Pulga has to change his name to NeymarFan2k14

But he's refusing to do it loooool

 

[Black Republican]

I love this ecuadorian goalkeeper. He's been a boss the entire game.

does he play for any other major teams?

 

[ICKE]

So suddenly Europe has five teams in top 16 with a chance to get two more.

Not that I'm cheering for Portugal or Russia mind. I want Ghana to go through so we have two African teams competing.

 

[LNBL]

Shaqiri is a beast

 

[Horseress]

Not surprised, Ecuardo is by far the worst South American team on the wc, they qualified mostly because playing football there is terrible (Quito is 2850 above sea level)

 

[Draconian]

Japan - Greece

fucking awful

Iran - Nigeria was worse. At least there were chances in Japan - Greece. Iran - Nigeria had absolutely nothing happen outside of the first 10 minutes.

 

[Diprosalic]

France is going against Nigeria and Switzeland against Argentina, let's go Nigeria and Swtizerland!

Go Swaziland!

 

[GoxRx]

I liked Ecuador

 

[UrbanRats]

Y'all being dramatic and hyperbolic as usual, lol.

France was very relaxed, obviously because they didn't need a win at all, so they didn't do a great game, but they still managed to build a few interesting set pieces, unfortunately all wasted by completely weak and predictable shots, right in the GK's hands.

He a swole mofo everywhere.

Why no tie? Actually 98% of tomorrow's possible results, including GER and USA tie, have GER progress.

I'm really glad I missed that match. Sounds like it would have put me asleep.

Americas are you even trying?

 

[ICKE]

lol Europe

Hey I'm just playing my part in this GAF "confederation game".

France all the way though!

 

[Acorn]

Toothy horsefaced cunt

 

[mreddie]

Man, why did my job interview place itself during the USA meltdown? Fuck.

 

[Raist]

More like CONCACA amirite?

 

[Draconian]

I'm really glad I missed that match. Sounds like it would have out me asleep.

It was one side who couldn't complete a single pass in the final third (Nigeria) against a side that took all of its shots from about 30 yards (Iran). Abhorrent football, and I for some reason watched all of it.

 

[Chakan]

LOL

 

[Confrontation]

Dude, watch the video or .gif or whatever. He's trying to stop. I am dumbfounded how people aren't seeing that he was trying to avoid contact. Also, look how late the defender is starting his slide. He's practically on top of him when he goes to ground. You can't do much there to alter your stride.

There's a ball in between the two of the them or are you missing that? He's blocking the ball with his studs, it wasn't reckless, not a red.

His second leg is of the ground aswell. You don't 'just stop' the ball like that.
Anyway, Ronald de Boer just said it's a definite red on tv aswell, so that's settled.
