France v Germany, 15th June, 8pm, ITV

[Diamond]

French team looks good but is it too narrow...?

Lloris,
Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe, Lucas,
Pogba, Kante, Rabiot,
Griezmann,
Mbappe, Benzema

Neuer,
Ginter, Hummels, Rudiger,
Kimmich, Kroos, Gundogan, Gosens,
Havertz, Muller, Gnabry

I quite fancy Germany for an upset here. Maybe 1-3?

 

[Sprocket.]

2-2 draw, for me.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Two GK captains

Apparently only three players on the pitch don't have either a WC or a Champions League winners medal

 

[Sue]

Vive la France!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Two strong lineups. This is the main event.

 

[Sue]

My half-French friend had just said that they need to change the Marseiliaise because he hates the 'blood and guts'. And I'm like 'kinda the point of national anthems and the tune and the call to the barricades and all that, what's not to like?'

 

[editor]

I can't decide who I want to win/lose here...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Whoever wins, we lose.







Sorry, wait, no, that's Alien v Predator, Group H on Saturday.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Cautious

 

[Lord Camomile]

Translation: "no-one's fucking doing 'owt".

 

[Steel Icarus]

I can't decide who I want to win/lose here...

Me neither, and as England are likely to play the second place in this group I'm even more confused

 

[Lord Camomile]

You guys know a draw is a thing, right?

What are you, fucking American?

Drawing is the loser's option. Or something.

 

[blairsh]

Second own goal of the evening

 

[Lucy Fur]

Allez le blues! 1-0

 

[editor]

Eigenes Ziel!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Looking a bit ominous, France. For the tournament, I mean, I know they've scored

 

[editor]

That was close!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ah, Muller, another football dickhead

 

[editor]

I reckon Germany might win this.

 

[editor]

But not with free kicks like that.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Really enjoying watching the French in a way I haven't for any team so far in the tourney. They're just great everywhere.

 

[blairsh]

It really is a good watch.

 

[ska invita]

France look brilliant to me. I can see why they are favourites to win the whole thing

 

[T & P]

I reckon Germany might win this.

Don’t know if you are a betting man but a German victory is 5/1 atm. If you feel that way, worth sticking a a couple of quid and see what happens.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Need Benzema and Gnabry to both score for fantasy football reasons thank you

I never gamble!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, the look.

If you're on the ground, never look.

 

[blairsh]

Fucking lol.

 

[JimW]

Oh no, he's killed Hernandez. No wait, he's fine.
