Your take is that you went to see a semi last year so everything must be fine. Alright.

Well then you'll explain the EPL having half the top 10 and top 20 richest team in Europe and one CL in 10 years... The likelyhood of that happening is about 1% (assuming there's a 50% chance of an EPL team winning), and if you look at the last 25 years, it's even worse, 4 out of 25, the...

I can see ManC being the favorite this year, last year, no way. With RM being a whole new team and Messi not getting any younger, we might see a non-spanish team win this year. The PSG might even have a shot at it.

Yeah as Brando stated, I'm not much into EPL, they aren't likely candidate to win the CL, teams seem to be solely focused on the EPL. You'd think English teams would be better as they have a truckload of money, but they're forced to spend it on british players, so I guess : suck to be them. I...

You mean stuck with it for four years and a half ? I'm a bit sad that Deschamps will keep coaching the french team at least until euro 2020. Sure, he can do the job and have a good chance at winning it, but Zidane would probably polish that team and look less ugly.

Football is England favourite sport, right behind shooting themselves in the foot.

Allow me to start with a meme : "I'll take the 10, penalties, your sister. And go get me a sandwich".

I do read this thread, but I'm a lurker between WCs/Euros. I just follow to enough to have a rough idea of what's going on... Occasionnaly seeing a PSG game as I live close to the Parc des Princes (quite an awesome stadium btw, so much better than Le Stade de France) and watch what I can of the CL.

I guess it depends what you mean by top tier. It's by a very large margin the most popular sporting event, even much more popular than summer olympics. For a lot of star players it has an even higher priority than their clubs, because it allow them to be famous well outside the football...

France was clearly the best team this tournament, the only team that could have competed would have been Brazil but they were massively unlucky vs Belgium, and anyway Brazil always lose to France. If you look that the knockout phase, France let the other team do whatever pleased them, and still...

I have a hard time believing Low will still be around in 3 months. That shit is embarrassing.

I'm hoping that Deschamps will be stepping down and let Zidane lead next euro and WC

Pogba's goal was also a nice one. Overall this pretty much sum up why France won. Solide defence and so much talent in attack that the slightliest opportunity translate into a goal

I don't see anyone but Modric getting the Ballon D'or this year

Wtf was that

Croatia crushed gg

Mbappeeeeeee

Luckiest team in history

Pogbaaaaaaa

Kante out, not sure if smart...

Look out for the surge in heart attack in France

Croatia is reaaaally good

Good thing France bribed Croatian defence

Penalty!

Bam!

I'm betting 0-0 at the end of the 1st half, and 2-0 for France at the end of the second half. Deschamps will go for his ugliest game to exhaust them. They've played an entire extra game, with 1 less day to rest and a team 4 years older and that french team has already played a final, the odds...

That's definitely true, but you'd think it'd be an advantage to have the whole team playing in your country; and I believe it definitely was for Spain back then, but for english players it feels that it isn't.

So much tears in Belgium, funny. Seriously you've got the only team full of mongoloids going like "I'd rather have lost vs Brazil", "The world champion won't be any better than us",... Well it's true that by Belgium "rules" Brazil should have gotten through. Here's my advice to Belgium's team ...

Anyway I'm not sure what point I was trying to make, Brazil, France, Croatia, ... have most of their players playing outside. Fuck France only has M'Bappe playing home. Could that actually be the opposite problem ? England are pretty much the only one to have team that is entirely made of people...

Do the top 4 even field 50% of britishs ?

Yeah England team will be better at 2020 and probably at its best in 2022, but so will France... France and England are basicaly the youngest team (beside Nigeria), Belgium/Brazil/Croatia will be simply too old at the next WC, Croatia will be too old next Euro, and Belgium will probably be past...

Oh, and Thierry Henry was working as a coach for the Belgium team attack.

Croatia certainly deserve to be there. They're probably exhausted and have one less day to rest than France, but for a WC final, I guess they'll rather die of an heart attack than stop running. Still France will need to fuck up massively to lose that (but that France team lost in final to a...

It's deserved they're MIA since the second half of the 1st half.

Gg

I guess Croatia is going to score at 90 +3

Seriously England?

They're doing better now.

Croatia looks like it's 80 minutes in already

Good job!
