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

Oh is that why that's gone?

 

[Okingjrr]

Gignac with that arrow flip.

 

[sora87]

Mangala the walking disaster, Iceland could probably score 2 more now

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

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

Forgot, what were their odds of winning it all again?

 

[Koren]

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.

2nd-choice defense has more holes than swiss cheese...

Besides, even good club players don't always make a great team. See Belgium.


(French sports journalists were still saying that the team was below average two hours ago... I think it's a bit harsh, but they can be awfully clumsy at times, both in attack and defense)

 

[Gandie]

Nothing's good enough for you hey? ^^

It will be interesting to see France play against actual competition. That's all I'm saying. I remember France looking decent in 2014 and then completely falling apart against Germany.

 

[spekkeh]

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

Kuipers doing God's work for us.

 

[Steve.1981]

Payet's getting complacent. Would probably be 6-1 if he put a bit of effort into that counter-attack. Hope Iceland punish that.

[Aters]

Lol Mangala.

Now we are talking about a comeback.

Completely falling apart? What game have you watched? French jerseys aren't yellow. It was a rather tight game, a good Benzema volley could have changed a lot.

Falling apart ? We lost 1-0 on the only chance the germans had (corner kick and header from Hummels).

The game was a fucking borefest. Both teams were playing super conservative.

 

[Koren]

That Iceland goal is on him

I said "become" ^_^

I've seen great games from him, and awful ones. He's still 22, and I'm sure he'll learn a lot in Barcelone.

 

[Spring Drive]

Me during this game

 

[paperboywriter]

This game is way more boring than yesterday's.

Come at me.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

I've just remembered it was Umtiti that scored this rocket vs Tottenham.

Yeah completely fell apart, lost 1-0.

What rules are those? There are still a few teams playing with different colored shorts and shirts. Think it's mainly an aesthetic option these days.

 

[Shito]

This game is way more boring than yesterday's.

Come at me.

I swear you say that at every match. ^^

 

[Monochromaticx]

This game is way more boring than yesterday's.

Come at me.

Yeah. The first 2 goals were so early it made the match pointless to watch.

 

[LeadenStride]

This game is way more boring than yesterday's.

Come at me.

Well yeah, one is completely outclassing the other. There's not much tension in that.

Yeah completely fell apart, lost 1-0.

Whoops, seem to have misremembered the game. I just remember the early Hummels goal and France failing to put any pressure on Neuer's goal. But yeah, wrong choice of words.

Quote me 🌝🌝✊

Nah I remember that match. Germany didn't play much better.

 

[Shito]

Quote me 🌝🌝✊

Haha, sorry if I got the wrong impression, it's just that GAF is always so grumpy about matches.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Match is all but decided so I want to namedrop one of my favorite french footballers of all time: David Ginola. He is probably the reason I have a soft spot for french teams up to this day.

 

[Strax]

Kinda funny that maybe the best known player is on the Iceland bench

He's hosting the post-game show on french tv.

Almost died a few weeks ago too (heart).

 

[Magni]

I've just remembered it was Umtiti that scored this rocket vs Tottenham.

What a goal, wow. It's like the opposite of the Roberto Carlos free kick.

 

[paperboywriter]

Haha, sorry if I got the wrong impression, it's just that GAF is always so grumpy about matches.

Nah it's all good. But yeah without tension or a close score you can shoot 6 goals and still bore the people watching it. But that's not France's fault, of course they wanna safe some energy for the next game.

Portugal - Croatia is still by far the worst game this euro.

 

[Strax]

FUCK YEAH

EIÐUR!

 

[sora87]

3 goals in 8 minutes, let's do this

 

[CTLance]

Oh my. There's still life in Iceland.

 

[SDBurton]

WOW

 

[Mr Swine]

YEAH ONE MORE GOAL!

Keep it up Iceland!

 

[Lender]

Eidur, can't believe he played for my club. (Club brugge) What a legend!

5-2!

 

[Angel_DvA]

Evra is so shit...

 

[Steve.1981]

Good stuff lads. Keep fighting.

Good stuff.

 

[Chiramii]

Go get 'em!!

Oh shit really? That sucks man.

 

[la_briola]

three more!!!

 

[paperboywriter]

Congrats Iceland! France you sloppy bastards!

 

[Shito]

Agree with all of that.

France with a disappointing ending for that match. ^^

 

[Miggy]

Let's go. Keep fighting Island!

 

[Aters]

Nice Iceland. Respect!

Mangala lol.

Coman is so bad, why does he always choose to shoot?

 

[illmatic22]

They've got heart.

 

[MoodyFog]

We manage to concede 2 even against Iceland, what a trash defence..

 

[PillarEN]

Good good

 

[KingSnake]

Germany can have a field day with this French defence, even if they don't have a striker.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Oh the Icelandic pride, they'll never stop fighting. Been a great game.

 

[LeadenStride]

Seems like France is completely falling apart.
