What are you on guys?
This yellow was deserved as well. ^^

 

[azyless]

What is France doing? Italy sat everybody and was shit, what's their excuse?

We're just not that good mate

 

[Spring Drive]

This fucking game 😰

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Ok this ref is really too card happy, albeit I agree with the horrible time wasting by Hendricks.. Time wasting is bullshit while you're up... But c'mon, guy's gotta take it easy with the cards.

 

[Tubie]

French defense is a disaster.

This is the reason the game has been so entertaining lol.

 

[Mimosa97]

France what is up with your defence?

VARANE IS INJURED

 

[John Dunbar]

half of france is going to be suspended against iceland, if they even get through this.

 

[Jamie OD]

Yellow card worthy. This acting needs to stop. Seriously.

He won't be in the next game now if Ireland goes through.

Nah, he takes no bullshit I like it

Holy shit, so close.

 

[Diancecht]

Yeah don't get me wrong I am perfectly fine with it haha.

 

[Podge293]

Jesus fucking hell.

Throwing their bodies in the way. Thank god

 

[Brinbe]

Can only park the bus for so long. France will break through.

 

[John Dunbar]

payet choooking

 

[Shito]

Yeah this ref is calling a great game IMO. No nonsense.

Yeah, no complain from me, he's right on every little thing that could make this game turn sour.

 

[Eanan]

We really should have cleared that well before then.

 

[T-Rex.]

No Sakho no party.

 

[Mimosa97]

EVEN PAYET CAN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT

PACK IT UP BOYS

 

[Lima]

Can only park the bus for so long. France will break through.

Are you watching a different match mate.

 

[Sesuadra]

Jesus fucking hell.

Throwing their bodies in the way. Thank god

Really entertaining! I hope Ireland wins

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

giroud needs to take his pills, completely out of it

 

[Alucard]

Why do people think Portugal is going to win this tournament? Have we been watching the same games? Yesterday's match was one of the worst elimination games I've ever seen and both teams should feel bad for making people pay to see such garbage play.

 

[Tempy]

Unnecessary foul by Rami.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Fucking hell.

 

[Bill Squabber]

Giroud is cheeks.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

I'm pretty neutral on this match, but Hendrick's time wasting makes me hope for a French goal.

 

[MoodyFog]

half of france is going to be suspended against iceland, if they even get through this.

"against iceland" lmao

Have you ever watched football before?

Don't think anyone really expects it but hey worked for Greece in 04(?)

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

No doubt this match will not end 11 vs 11 at this rate.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Ireland is not parking the bus

 

[John Dunbar]

Are you watching a different match mate.

it's really annoying how concentrating on defense and counters against a clearly superior team on paper has become the same as "parking the bus" to some people.

 

[Tubie]

half of france is going to be suspended against iceland, if they even get through this.

I see what you did there.

Well played, sir.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Are people really bitching about a player having a dead leg? Embarrassing.

German commentator trying to jinx things for Ireland.

 

[Phantast2k]

Giroud is the wrong striker for the way France plays.

 

[Podge293]

That's cuz he knows they'll eventually have to play us.

 

[T-Rex.]

Yeah lol and "parking the bus" when that's not what's happening at all.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I wake up to see that Ireland is beating France 1-0. And the goal was a penalty as well. Did I miss a good first half?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Are people really bitching about a player having a dead leg? Embarrassing.

When he acts like his leg has been blown off, and writhes around in agony to then suddenly be perfectly fine 30 seconds later, yeah.
Couple that with him kicking the ball away to waste more time, it's not exactly subtle what he was doing.

Because that has nothing to do with overall level of Portugal.

 

[Brinbe]

Ireland is not parking the bus

They sure turtled up quire a bit. Which isn't surprising. It'll be more pronounced in the 2nd half when France throws everyone forward.

France need to throw Martial on

 

[Can Crusher]

Can only park the bus for so long. France will break through.

What is this bullshit?

The Irish are playing fast counter attacking, and not only is it the smart way to go about it against a clearly more talented team, they are arguably being the better team.

 

[azyless]

Giroud is the wrong striker for the way France plays.

I would have liked for Gameiro to be selected. His style fits us better imo. And he's no worse than Gignac.

 

[Shito]

Are people really bitching about a player having a dead leg? Embarrassing.

No, about making is stall for way too long, with the medical staff not taking him on the side of the field like the ref asked them to, instead making him go out of it by sloooowly walking and suddenly getting better and asking to come back in as soon as he's out.

Ireland is not parking the bus, but they used shameful and obvious time wasting tactics for like 20 to 30 minutes during this half, up until the ref finally booked Hendricks for it. Which is a shame, because when they are actually playing the game they have great occasions and could have scored a second goal without it being a robbery at all.

 

[Alucard]

Because that has nothing to do with overall level of Portugal.

Takes two to make a shit stew, sir.

 

[Acquiescence]

COME ON IRELAND! Wasn't sure if I was in reality when they got a goal two minutes into the game.

 

[Charlie0108]

Please, please stay this way. One of us, Ireland or Iceland in the semis would be incredible.
