Some pretty useless players in this German side.

they've got a few big injuries in fairness

Why do these cunts not win the one time I really want them to?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 7 July 2016 20:47 (eight years ago) link
if someone put together a youtube comp of the best tackles in this tournament I'd watch the crap out of it. there've been some beauties

sure it won't matter but Griezmann being a bit of a silly sod in the last few mins
― Pat Umunna Glass (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 7 July 2016 20:49 (eight years ago) link
I'd love it if Neuer got mugged now
― Number None, Thursday, 7 July 2016 20:50 (eight years ago) link
Neueresque from Lloris
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 7 July 2016 20:51 (eight years ago) link
that save is the cherry on top for me and I started this game wanting Germany to win p much

otm
cabaye is good right? kinda nuts he barely played
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 7 July 2016 20:58 (eight years ago) link
Same! France wasn't that good but won me over gradually. Gotta love Pogba and Griezmann.
The demise of Thomas Müller is also a joy to behold, I must admit with little to no shame.

Draxler was pwned throughout that game
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Thursday, 7 July 2016 21:04 (eight years ago) link
Cabaye doesn't even play for his club
― Number None, Thursday, 7 July 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
Griezmann is even better than I thought he was.
― ewar woowar (or something), Thursday, 7 July 2016 21:08 (eight years ago) link
very good at penalty kicks
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Thursday, 7 July 2016 21:30 (eight years ago) link
It's true, I now think he's a bit better at penalty kicks than I did after the champs league final. But regardless of that, he was magic in the second half there.
― ewar woowar (or something), Thursday, 7 July 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link
lol i think my knowledge of cabaye literally comes from his stats in PES '11

Second goal was practically an own goal

Come on. It was Romarioesque.

Germany need a striker.

Hazard had a disgraceful tournament
Bale and Pogba have only been ok
― Number None, Friday, 8 July 2016 06:36 (eight years ago) link
I missed a big chunk of games in the middle but I can't recall seeing Hazard doing anything much of note. Including him at the expense of Payet is mentalism.
― Matt DC, Friday, 8 July 2016 06:39 (eight years ago) link
replace them with Nani and Kroos
― Number None, Friday, 8 July 2016 06:41 (eight years ago) link
oh yeah, Payet lol
he has gone off the boil a bit though
Hazard beat up on Hungary and Ireland. That's it
― Number None, Friday, 8 July 2016 06:42 (eight years ago) link
I'd have Hazard just for those two minutes when he passed to himself to get an assist and then immediately floated through to score. Two best plays of the tournament by one man in the space of a couple of minutes.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 8 July 2016 06:56 (eight years ago) link
Payet was great in the group but has been ineffective in the knockouts.
Same goes for Bale.

It was a cleverly improvised finish in the style of Brazil legend Romario.

hope ronaldo scores 4 and shushes paris

hope griezmann scores 50 and paris is 1000 times as loud as it was last night :)also it's hilarious how all you hear about in the French media after last nights win is the defeat in 82
― Jibe, Friday, 8 July 2016 07:44 (eight years ago) link
That's fair re: Bale.
I fear Cron may somehow sneak this. I'd love to see him lose just for giggles though.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 8 July 2016 07:57 (eight years ago) link
trust me the giggles will be if france lose

portugal have wrought unto this tournament what greece wrought unto their own grand parade in 2004 and i hope they finish the job
― imago, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:01 (eight years ago) link
anyway, clatts is the man in the middle, should be fun
― imago, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:10 (eight years ago) link
i think having ronaldo and a few other multi-million pound players makes it a little different from greece
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 8 July 2016 08:11 (eight years ago) link
i'm well-disposed to the portuguese people after watching the arabian nights trilogy. they deserve a break, or something
― imago, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:15 (eight years ago) link
I can only assume that Clatts habitually whacks off a selection of UEFA dignitaries because his getting both major finals is just incomprehensible.
― Matt DC, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:19 (eight years ago) link
he just hates footballers more than any other ref

prob not the worst shout for england manager tbh
― r|t|c, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:52 (eight years ago) link
he's also lucky enough that teams from his country don't get to the semis so he's always on the short list of refs for finals

I live a bit outside of Paris atm & people are still making a load of noise right now, horns and chants and some little kid hollering the "seven nation army" riff.
I was in Istanbul one year when Fenerbahçe won the league title against Galatasaray & people were shooting guns into the air still several days later. not *quite* that mad here right now but come Sunday
