Still a pretty disgusting team, having easily the best team and still lacking ambition to actually play throughout the tournament. But that obviously works. Just dawned on me. It must be some cosmic force that put things into balance. After most of these players won a lot of games by delibarate refereeing mistakes in our league, now it was put back into balance. Unfortunately for them, in the worst possible game. Link to post Share on other sites
CFuller 1,709 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Rio Ferdinand hopes his old club are chasing Mbappe. I don't think he'll fancy a move to Leeds or QPR, somehow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cyp 21 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 France was extremely lucky to escape after playing their worst game in the knockout stage...Lot of players played mainly scared (except Griezmann, who was imo the best player in the final), and they were terrible in midfield (much better after Nzonzi entrance)... Croatia played extremely well, much better than against Russia and Danemark (couldn't see them against England) ... Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's always good to hear from your countries manager. France played like crap the whole final, they felt clearly under pressure and disjointed early. That was clearly their worst match and at time they were in panic mode (like during first Croatian goal)... Griezmann was huge in this game (and during the whole knockput phase), with his set pieces being top notch, very good attitude (pressing) and was clearly the leader of this team...
