Day 25: France vs. Belgium SF

[Jam]

Imagine if France actually wins the WC... it means Giroud would be a world champion and the main striker of the world champion.

I mean, he is playing his role.

It's not like say a Ronaldo led Brazil team winning the World Cup, the 'real talent' is playing off from Giroud.

 

[Catt]

Reckon France will win this 2-0.

 

[TsuWave]

He is needed in the box as a target man if teams park the bus.

i understand his utility, i like giroud, still, i think they should have a better striker

 

[redshaw]

Griezmann screaming like he just stood in a bear trap.

 

[adexkola]

The donkey that is Eder won the Euros for Portugal so it happens.

Ah, scorer of goal.

 

[barros]

The Brazilian, no?

I guess you never watched fat ronaldo

 

[EyeInTheSky]

People overhype how bad he's been for us. I think he's consistently been one of our best players easily. I think it's more a case that France has a far better team, esepcially in midfield then we do currently.

Yep. People have gold fish memories and use lazy knee jerk rhetoric

 

[GhastlyHun]

The goal pulled Belgium's plug.

 

[peridigm]

KDB is shite.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Imagine if France actually wins the WC... it means Giroud would be a world champion and the main striker of the world champion.

Stranger things have happened, like France winning a World Cup with Guivarc'h as their main striker.

 

[sullydnl]

KDB has been dissapointing.

 

[Offside]

Not Belgium’s night when De Bruyne is having such a shocker.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Why is he still playing with 3 central defenders?

 

[ArseHat]

KdB been off all game.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Deschamps has built a great balanced side all over the pitch. They're not just individual talents but a team.

Belgium did well too and even if they lost and manage to grab 3rd it will be a great achievement for them.

Bringing Matuidi on the left has given them the balance they lacked pre-tournament.

The attack still isn't as fluid as it could be but they're harder to play through now.

 

[PoTMS]

Great game from Pogba who has been everywhere tonight. Now get sent off please.

 

[Baxter]

KDB disasterclass

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Chelsea reject having a hard time.

 

[Hephaestus]

Why was Benzema left at home?

He's not been selected since the whole issue with Valbuena before Euro 2016.

 

[C3Pique]

'Puta' you're not spanish you ginger dickhead

 

[Jam]

Why was Benzema left at home?

Stuff about Benzema being involved in a blackmail against Valbuena and being frozen from the National Team and falling out completely with the FFA.

 

[kouroux]

Ah, scorer of goal.

Bringer of joy

 

[Rajma]

KDB and Lukaku very poor so far, very disorganised performance in general from Belgium, why they need 3 CBs at this stage of the game still, ridiculous.

 

[Traub]

De Bruyne with the conversion.

Belgium look hopeless, another five minutes before we see Fellaini Plan B.

 

[peridigm]

Bring Adnan on for KDB and move Fellaini central.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Imagine if France actually wins the WC... it means Giroud would be a world champion and the main striker of the world champion.

Guivarc'h in 1998?

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Belgium are fizzling out..

 

[saivet]

Second half not really been interesting

 

[Andycoleno9]

We did it with Guivarch

He scored zero goes '98? Right?

 

[Escobar]

KDB has been dissapointing.

He didnt have a good tournament

 

[justboy68]

Are they playing with gravity defying balls tonight? So many shots going 14 miles over the bar.

 

[Dobba]

They'll be hoping that De Bruyne shot comes back down, so they can put it in the Museum of Cosmonautics.

 

[Dante]

Chelsea reject having a hard time.

Why would Chelsea accept it?

 

[Ramshock]

We should go after Mertens

 

[redIndianDevil]

i understand his utility, i like giroud, still, i think they should have a better striker

They could have if Benzema wasn't so stupid.

 

[Slevs]

'Puta' you're not spanish you ginger dickhead

Putain. It's French

 

[Rob]

People overhype how bad he's been for us. I think he's consistently been one of our best players easily. I think it's more a case that France has a far better team, esepcially in midfield then we do currently.

I’m not saying he’s been bad for you at all, though. I’m just saying he looks a different player.

 

[kouroux]

'Puta' you're not spanish you ginger dickhead

"Putain" is also used by french speakers

 

[Kazi]

De Bruyne’s been so poor

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

We should go after Mertens

He's horrendous.

 

[ThierryHenry14]

Imagine if France actually wins the WC... it means Giroud would be a world champion and the main striker of the world champion.

If france win the WC, then yes he will be the WC winner.

I mean, he is playing his role.

It's not like say a Ronaldo led Brazil team winning the World Cup, the 'real talent' is playing off from Giroud.

France benched Giroud in the first game and it went terribly wrong. Since then Giroud starts every game, and rightly so. It is all about the chemistry of the team.
