Amazing bit of acting/cheating there from Fernandez

The complete team. not just elite sportsmen but accomplished thespians too.

 

[oryx]

Mmm, I think it's all over. Can't see France getting back into this at all never mind fixing a two goal deficit.

I have a slight preference for France to win but have already given up on them!

 

[r0bb0]

Seem's like a few of the French team have got flu, pity as it was set-up to be a good game.

i watched the first half because a workmate told me i just had to, even of i don;t follow soccer, and all i saw was a bunch of diving and moaning.
you don't get that in hockey.
off to my commie reading group now.

 

[tommers]

France will be better next half, whether that's enough, probably not.

If they score next then things change around totally.

 

[JimW]

Just replayed the goal, worth the price of admission you have to say

 

[marty21]

Argentina dominated that half , France made to look very ordinary.

argentina are going to boss both of them though

If only they could call on Aaron Lennon.

Prob in someone’s fourth choice team for the World Cup

Why so many empty seats, there were whole sections there with virtually nobody in them?

 

[JimW]

Argentina have also defended really well which has contributed to france not getting going

 

[planetgeli]

Upper stand of the VIP bit almost completely empty. As has been a feature of this WC

 

[JimW]

Showing they can cut 'em apart whenever they fancy.

Think it's the FIFA seats but yeah, ridiculous.

 

[JimW]

C'mon France, give it a go

 

[ska invita]

would be a shame to take off Messi on his special day though
etta: you meant france, in which case yeah!!

[Spymaster]

Shit game of football.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Shit game of football.

Yesterday's game was way better. Often way with finals. At least this one has had goals.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Shit game of football.

It's a great game

 

[Flavour]

the third place playoff is the most useless, cynical, bullshit event in all of sport and should be abolished

 

[JimW]

It's a great game

I'm enjoying it and would even more if I was a bit invested. Maybe not if I was French

[JimW]

Swash buckling!

ETA As compared to France's hesitant dink in after finally getting up there just

I'm enjoying it but it's not a contest.
