Portugal v France

[The39thStep]

France were favourites over here beginning of the Euros , England second

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wow, Mbappe coming off, that's surprising.

 

[Bingoman]

Wow, Mbappe coming off, that's surprising.

Yeah especially when you could have penalties to take too

 

[Wilf]

Fuck me, the election and now this.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck me, the election and now this.

Don't worry, we've got the England game tomorrow

 

[Steel Icarus]

Mbappe has been well short this tournament, even before his schnozz got broken.

 

[Wilf]

Don't worry, we've got the England game tomorrow

Bad things come in threes...

 

[tommers]

Well, he doesn't do.

Yeah, but I don't understand what will happen that he's so scared of.

 

[Lord Camomile]

The French are getting past/through Portuguese defenders quite frequently now. Just haven't managed the final step.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, but I don't understand what will happen that he's so scared of.

Aside from whatever power Ronaldo might wield, I imagine there could be quite a bit of that "if you drop the star player and you lose, you're fucked" thing.

Although it doesn't necessarily sound as if that might be as much the case, these days.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gave away a free kick trying to pull off a scissor kick.

Ahhhhhh, Ronnie

Yeah exactly. He isn't the star player any more. He's done fuck all. Southgate took Kane off. Deschamps has just taken Mbappe off. When was the last time CR7 was subbed?

Oh it was last week . He kicked some water bottles.

 

[The39thStep]

The English obsession with Ronaldo .

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sudden attackimg panic as neither team fancies pennos

 

[planetgeli]

Portugal heavy favourites now

 

[The39thStep]

Portugal heavy favourites now

Fingers crossed

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, look, I was on Lineker's side with all the migration stuff, and various other opinions the right has attacked him for, but fuck me he needs cancelling right away for all this bullshite about how much people yearn for penalties

 

[Steel Icarus]

That French fan with a laminated - laminated - photo of Ronaldo crying taped to his tee shirt

 

[Monte]

Breaks the Costa curse.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That penalty was important; had just a bit more pressure on it than usual.

 

[The39thStep]

Cant knock Ronaldos penalty

 

[Spymaster]

Serves him right for fucking about in his run up.

 

[Bingoman]

What's the betting Ronaldo crys when they lose

 

[Bingoman]

France wins

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Cristiano Gone-aldo

 

[The39thStep]

Is what it is

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Impeccable pens from France. Late sub misses. Agree with Murphy on that. Don't do it.

 

[Monte]

Costa was shit.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

France were very negative through the game. Does their press give them grief for it?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Notable how Ronnie isn't crying despite losing. Because he scored his pen, and it's all about him.
