Ouch :/

 

[Mascot]

Portugal have a mammoth task on their hands without Ronaldo.

MamMOTH.

MOTH.

 

[Wanchan]

I've seen nazi jokes here.

Where? show me.

 

[Alx]

do you prefer baguette?

at least do it right... since when are fries or baguette used as a shortcut for French ?

also lol at the Coke ad using the French slow clap (yes it's French now... until someone else steals it )

 

[D4Danger]

I've hated a lot on the portugal TEAM. The team and only the team. Never said anything about portugal fans or the portugal people or the portuguese culture.

Whereas everytime we play, it's never our team that gets hated on (that would be 100% okay) but the french people as whole.

I've been on Gaf for years. IT's always been the case. I used to say nothing and stay quiet but now I fight back

There's a first time for everything





banter

 

[[Fugo]]

Knee to the side of the knee

Whoever has played soccer knows how dangerous that is

He may not have injured him "on purpose" but sure as hell he did nothing to avoid hitting him in a dangerous spot
(and yes, I know what being hospitalized after a soccer injury is ;_; )

 

[Angel_DvA]

do you prefer baguette?

I really don't mind, proud to be Snaily, froggy, Baguette, beret, Sexy MF etc...

 

[True Savior]

My 7-1 prediction didn't include Ronaldo's injury.

The body movement of Payet is a tad suspicious.

 

[MrS]

Messi would've battled through the injury.

These driveby shitposts only serve to exemplify your lack of football knowledge. Rein yourself in, kiddo.

 

[Hedrush]

What a terrible first half

Yeah it wasn't great was it.

 

[KingSnake]

So, is this France tactics always? Again like in the game against Germany 10-15 minutes in full force and then slowly died. Will they repeat it at the beginning of second half?

The moth's twitter account would be funnier if he only followed Ronaldo. So close to perfection, internet.

 

[Tworak]

RIP football

You're right though. Now try to be franco-german like me, you get all the lame froggies joke + all the lane nazies joke... fun.

 

[Mimosa97]

Man why are we doing the scottish clap now ?

We deserve the hate for that lmao. It's okay to borrow chants but for fuck sake the timing is just lame as fuck. Plus we don't have the viking vibe to make it work. We just look ridiculous doing it loool

But food references to make fun of a country and culture is cute though no?

I'll take a serving of Pork and cheese over a plate of greasy French fries any day. Both high in saturated fats though.

 

[Maintenance]

Yet you aren't.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any of that for any other countries. Not that it would be any better, mind you, but yeah, not liking how you can be hurtful to a whole nation because "football mate!"...

Someone wasn't on the GAF 2014 world cup thread.

 

[Steve.1981]

Sorry I don't watch Scotland play. Why would I.

As a proud Scotsman...

I agree.

Don't forget the David Guetta ceremony. You're not making it easy for neutrals to like you.

 

[flozuki]

It's not hate when it's about us. Apparently we deserve it just for being french lol

Itt a bunch of cunts trying super hard to find any excuse to hate french people. I wouldn't say anything if people did the same when Germany or Italy or Spain was playing. But nah never read anything hateful about them. So yeah I don't think I'm paranoid when I say the french hate is real on Gaf.

You are paranoid. As a German there are tons of "nicknames" I have to listen to. Lederhose, Kartoffelbauer, Bratwurst, Beerman and also some dirt I won't even list

Yeah man I can only imagine how you feel

 

[paperboywriter]

Where? show me.

Not gonna go back, there were jokes made about boateng raising his right hand. Stuff like that.

Also I don't even have a problem with it. I'm not personally insulted by it, I think it's part of the game and I take it.
Sometimes it's even funny.

Let's talk about football again.

 

[Fistwell]

He'll be subbed on for Portugal as Riberon, then bury France.

He'd totally play for Germany as Ribersteiger if he was allowed.

 

[STILLethal]

What a terrible first half

horrible

 

[Uzzy]

Having a goal of the tournament contest on the BBC seems silly. We already know who wins, Shaqiri.

[Bold One]

Look at the amazing goals this tournament, how anyone can claim this has been a boring tournament

 

[Monochromaticx]

(and yes, I know what being hospitalized after a soccer injury is ;_; )

Ronaldo was standing still. He just received the ball and that pyte charged at him directly like a moron.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

I'm surprised no one has the moth as a profile pic

 

[Maintenance]

Where? show me.

Something something involuntary raising of the right arm.

Satisfied? Want more?

 

[Matush]

Christ, first half was abysmal.

 

[Rhaknar]

France really dangerous in the first 10-15mins, then Ronaldo got fucked and subbed, and the game settled, no real chances on either side besides the header from France that the keeper did the great save.

Fair assessment?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Having a goal of the tournament contest on the BBC seems silly. We already know who wins, Shaqiri.

Robson-Kanu is winning because of the Welsh all voting.

Edit: Oh, the panel get the last say. Shaqiri should rightfully win.

45 minutes to produce another condenter. French players are known to deliver in finals

[Wonder Peter]

Now i get it when some people said that Portugal was going to get destroyed. You meant literally, Ronaldo got destroyed and france is now taking care of Quaresma.

 

[Shito]

I've seen the nazi joke, but not any of the other ones you German guys are talking about. Not here on GAF though.
And if I recall right, that nazi line was followed by a bunch of "not cool".
So let us French guys "not cool" the stupid little nicknames some of you are giving us (and they don't seem really friendly in the sentences they are used) please? ^^
Let's make fun of players, teams, coaches and people, but quit it with the demanding words for a whole country!

 

[Oersted]

There's a way to say it. I don't mind getting called froggy by english people. We call them " roastbeef ". The friendly banter is mutual.

Don't forget the David Guetta ceremony. You're not making it easy for neutrals to like you.

Yeah on behalf of the french people I apologize about that. Shameful display

You are paranoid. As a German there are tons of "nicknames" I have to listen to. Lederhose, Kartoffelbauer, Bratwurst, Beerman and also some dirt I won't even list

Here on Gaf ? Never seen any of these names.

Germans are the only one who get some kind of hate here on gaf just for being german with the usual nazi jokes.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

I'd add that Portugal pressured in the last 15min

 

[Monochromaticx]

If that charge was made by a german vs france that would have been insta red #rigged

 

[Billy_Pilgrim]

Ronaldo was standing still. He just received the ball and that pyte charged at him directly like a moron.

Football is a contact sport, part of the job of holding up the ball is not putting yourself in a position to get clattered if someone wins it. It was a decent tackle, he went in hard but he's allowed to, it wasn't reckless.

 

[Wanchan]

Satisfied? Want more?

Are you kidding? how is that even insulting to the point of calling people "frogies" "french fries" smh

Anyway, i'm out here, not losing my time reading usual gaf anti-french bs

 

[EdibleExplosives]

First half of the first half was fine, rest was bleh.

 

[Steve.1981]

France really dangerous in the first 10-15mins, then Ronaldo got fucked and subbed, and the game settled, no real chances on either side besides the header from France that the keeper did the great save.

Pretty much.

To be honest I'm a bit surprised France never created more. The game is basically theirs to win.

 

[sora87]

Tough one for goal of the tournament, Shaqiri gets my vote though

 

[daxy]

Damn shame about Ronaldo. Was looking forward to seeing him play. Must be terrible for the guy.

I've hated a lot on the portugal TEAM. The team and only the team. Never said anything about portugal fans or the portugal people or the portuguese culture.

Whereas everytime we play, it's never our team that gets hated on (that would be 100% okay) but the french people as whole.

Oh please. Try being someone with Russian heritage/Russian. Each thread about the latest crazy about the government pulls it's dumb Russians this, fuck Russia that, etcetera. People paint nationalities with a wide-ass brush on Gaf and everywhere. Sports is practically fair game because we all know it's part of the competitive spirit.

 

[offtopic]

Ouch :/

Yeah for Martinez to comment that it was "just a clash of knees" indicates a clueless level that should bar him from commentary and ever coaching a first division team again. On first viewing at normal speed it did not look good. On replay the knee was obviously damaged.

 

[Angel_DvA]

France really dangerous in the first 10-15mins, then Ronaldo got fucked and subbed, and the game settled, no real chances on either side besides the header from France that the keeper did the great save.

Football isn't like Handball, Basketball etc... nothing really happen for 90% of the time and you love it for the last 10%.

 

[Croyles]

After "froggies", we now have "French fries",
Stay classy gaf.

Should of been there during the world cup when during Germany games every second post was something about invading counties and pictures of tanks.

I don't know why I frequent Gaf football threads sometimes honestly.

 

[John Dunbar]

so is it a good sign that ronaldo could walk, or can his knee still be totally fucked?
