Oh seriously. If we were as confident as you guys were for us you want hate us for our arrogance. Basically we are damned if we do damned if we don't.

This is Gaf. The anti-french hate runs super deep. Just don't think about it too much.

 

[Aters]

Giroud is fucking on tonight. Hope he gets man of the match. Arsenal boys all have been doing well this tournament: Giroud, Ozil, Ramsey, Xhaka....

 

[cripterion]

Iceland must be good at handball no?

 

[Okingjrr]

Matuidi seems to be in a world of pain.

 

[Monochromaticx]

At least you got a goal iceland

 

[Croyles]

There is a middle ground, you know?

I'm sorry I am not capable of teeter tottering those fine margins for your pleasure!

Just fyi, I think we have a good chance against France, but it will be a very difficult game.

Should have played Arsenal in England shirts rather than Tottenham.

Yes, they have a very good team... but France is still better there too

Where was the anti-French hate in this exchange, though?

 

[Huevos de Oro]

I haven't been following int'l football much lately, but it seems to me the french side is real good, stacked with great players in practically every position.

 

[cripterion]

This game is entertaining.

 

[yyzjohn]

I wanna see a 7-3 final score line. Who said soccer was low scoring?

 

[Magni]

Merci Lloris

 

[sora87]

What a corner, what a save

 

[FDC1]

Nice Lloris

 

[Miggy]

Great save

 

[Haunted]

Bruh we beat albaania, romania, ireland and iceland lmao

And we defeated Ukraine, Northern Ireland and Slovakia. We didn't win against Poland or Italy.

We can play this game all damn day. I won't consider us the favourites with the amount of energy we've had to expend in our QF.

The defense is pretty bad, only Koscielny is starting 11 material. Many people missing.

don't pay attention to him, dude is high as hell.

 

[chugen]

nice save

 

[cripterion]

Gignac you suck

 

[Aters]

Ali and Kane. So fucking bad.

 

[Lender]

Kuipers....

 

[Shito]

Yes, they have a very good team... but France is still better there too

One of the only sports you don't want to bluff you will beat France at. ^^

Great save from Lloris.

 

[Jon Carter]

Not in France and I don't have a way to watch the game, but even with updated articles and Gaf I'm loving this game without even seeing it.

 

[Akai__]

Can we watch and discuss this without bringing hate into this? There's literally no need for that.

Compared to?

 

[Strax]

Evra playing handball

The Stade de France is the worst venue in France. Bunch of spoiled parisian brats and ungrateful fucks from Seine saint denis. The worst combo of " fans " you could think of.

I'm saying this as someone who was born in Paris.

Still...

 

[Mimosa97]

Well you beat Italy, the 2nd best team in the tournament and you played really well.

You choked a bit during the penalty shootouts though So I guess you Germans are human after all lol

 

[chadskin]

Compared to?

England.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Where the hell is all of this "France is no good" talk coming from? They are one of the tourny favs to win it all. They have a rather impressive squad... I'd imagine if you follow football in the slightest, you'd realize this.

 

[Paganmoon]

Kuiper's pissed about Iceland going to Euros instead of Netherlands...

 

[Orbis]

Not in France and I don't have a way to watch the game, but even with updated articles and Gaf I'm loving this game without even seeing it.

Gaf threads are more exciting than highlights to me, I like going back to old threads to see the reactions (Brazil 1-7 Germany springs to mind).

I think Umtiti can becpme a good/great defender... But maybe that's the OL supporter that talks ^_^

 

[cripterion]

This Gignac, too funny

 

[LeadenStride]

Don't think so, but with injuries it will be a lot harder now. Although Khedira is replaceable and Höwedes does alright instead of Hummels. Gomez will be missed the most for sure, but I'm sure we can wing this somehow

Wouldn't hurt if Müller woke up.

 

[Shito]

Compared to?

The rest of Europe and thus the world?
Apart from the defense and a few select ones (hello Gignac) French players are starting materials in the best clubs of Europe.
We have great players, awesome ones even, but we often have trouble acting as a team.

 

[Magni]

And that is why you don't start, Gignac.

 

[Spring Drive]

We only allowed Iceland to score because we're gentlemen

 

[1871]

That Iceland goal is on him

 

[Okingjrr]

Gignac stop pls

They also beat the mighty Albania and Ireland to get here.

 

[Alucard]

For a blowout, this has still been fun to watch.

 

[Particulam]

How was that not hands though?

 

[Peléo]

Hate Fifa rules regarding uniforms. France should be playing with the classic Blue, White, Red;

 

[CTLance]

France still thirsty for goals.

 

[Strax]

How was that not hands though?

Ref is Dutch

Nothing's good enough for you hey? ^^
