And yet no place for Rooney

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

Given that it was Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, are you sure those shots were in the air?

haha I guess I don't know, there were sirens constantly as well for several days

droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 8 July 2016 13:22 (seven years ago) link

Oh the sirens were just them playing the flaming lips version of seven nation army

Want France to win, but in true fashion this will be a terrible final with Ornlado's tears of joy drowning millions of moths won't it?

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link

Mon dieu, this closing ceremony...

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link

Collina has no real function there. They just brought him down to draw all the moths into the terrifying tractor beam of his eyes where they will burn for eternity.

Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:05 (seven years ago) link

liking the intensity from the France midfield so far

Windsor Davies, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:09 (seven years ago) link

Danny Murphy really did hit new heights of gormless credulity when he said he thought Ronaldo was genuinely injured just then.

Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link

not convinced he can tell Pogba, Matuidi and Sissoko apart, either

Windsor Davies, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:12 (seven years ago) link

LOL MOTHRA

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link

oh shit

Windsor Davies, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link

well

that's that. might as well blow the final whistle

Ludo, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link

ugh. Indeed

The Rite of Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link

aw shit, didn't realise he was coming off.

Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link

Well, I predicted a moth and a Cron...

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:19 (seven years ago) link

surely UEFA allows doping

Ludo, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:19 (seven years ago) link

Not many people will realise that's his personal moth, which he has trained to feed on his tears. It just thought it was an early dinner tonight.

suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:20 (seven years ago) link

We've traced the moths and THEY'RE COMING FROM INSIDE THIS THREAD!

Playing the long game with this.

Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:23 (seven years ago) link

is one allowed to re-sub a substituted player? i mean 85th minute 0-0. he might have recovered by then :P

Ludo, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link

i think ronaldo should come off at least 3 times before actually being subbed

^ 諷刺 (ken c), Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link

LOL that shot of mortified Portugal fans spotting themselves onscreen and raising their arms

imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:26 (seven years ago) link

Okay I admit defeat. I feel for the cunt.

Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link

Anyway, everyone's supporting Portugal now, right?

imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link

If this goes to pens Cron will defo be back in :)

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link

I hope they win and Ronaldo does the full-kit wanker thing

imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link

"I hope they win and Ronaldo does the full-kit wanker thing"

On a stretcher.

Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:33 (seven years ago) link

Portugal arent even pretending to know what football actually is. What a disgrace.

Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:34 (seven years ago) link

Greece 2004 would definetely beat this Portugal. as well.

After messis tax fraud, fuck it I love cron, he's the best, fuck messi, cron deserves a full kit wanker tour of the city with a golden moth parade to show the world he's a god etc.

Rest of this game is shit tho

plums (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:10 (seven years ago) link

how tf did sissoko get through like 7 dudes just then

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:11 (seven years ago) link

i like this niggly blueball physical shit, it's like every anxiety dream about soccer i've ever had. maximum effort and desire, minimum actual performance & reward

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:13 (seven years ago) link

Imagine being told that the 100m man in that midfield was pogba

Want sissoko at spurs in a bad way

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:14 (seven years ago) link

Big face there from umtiti

poor fiddy-less albion (darraghmac), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:14 (seven years ago) link

I thought that substitution was harsh on Payet but Coman has been excellent since coming on.

@SkyNewsBreak

Police have used tear gas and are responding to fires that have been started outside the #Euro2016Final in Paris
