Day 5: Hungary vs Portugal | France vs Germany

[DomesticTadpole]

Game a lot more open now.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

German food???

Italy v France

 

[Cloud7]

There’s definitely something in this game for Germany

 

[awop]

Varane-Kimpembe was my main worry for tonight but they are well up for it !

 

[charlenefan]

What is with this "He's a different player for France" shit? He's not, he's been as good as if not better than this for United for long stretches, I just think his body can't handle a whole season of consistently performing at his best. He has two really good months and then.either gets injured or looks way off the pace. For France he really only needs to give a month.

You could be right here, could be mentally he doesn't have the motivation over a season he does for a tournament

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

There is a reason why Italian restaurants are a common sight around the globe, while French ones aren't.

Yet the best restaurants are based of French cooking

 

[Gringo]

Danilo and Carvalho get the run around from this midfield though. No more mobile than the Germans and far worse on the ball

Both midfields sit back too deep imo to ''get the round around''. It's all about the front attacking players and who can take their chances. It'll be close.

 

[GhastlyHun]

There’s definitely something in this game for Germany

Yes, disappointment

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Is it me or is Mbappe quite poor?

 

[MDFC Manager]

Very often plays as well or better than this for Man Utd.

Unfortunately the loudest people are the United fans who hate him because of his agent and expecting him to be Roy of the Rovers for a number of pretty average teams in his time and pundits who absolutely hate him because hating him is an easy and acceptable way to get press coverage.

He has been very good and this is probably around his mean performance for United if you look at just his performance.

I don't know if this is an overrated opinion, its certainly the correct one!

 

[LDUred]

The amount of thuggery that Rudiger and Azpilicueta get away with is astounding. They could suplex someone and people would say, 'ah he's just been a bit clumsy there, nothing intentional.'

 

[Nick7]

What a save Gosens

 

[bosnian_red]

Got to be honest, I don't find France particularly impressive here

This is what they do. They have an excellent group of players but they basically just sit and leg individuals make the difference. A sitting tactic with Kante cleaning up in the middle, fullbacks who often play as CB's for their clubs, a world class CB like Varane, and then give it to Pogba/Mbappe and now Benzema to counter at will. Especially Mbappe's pace. It's a very good tournament tactic.

 

[Jagga7]

Germany much better this 2nd half, feels like the goal is coming.

 

[Pexbo]

Head injury? Pavard?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Is it me or is Mbappe quite poor?

He should getting at Hummels more. Not done enough so far.

 

[GifLord]

Would that have gone in?

 

[hellhunter]

Lindelöf would be proud of that aerial assault

 

[big rons sovereign]

I've got a feeling of Germany score, they'll go on to win this.

 

[Nick7]

Oh Jesus that was a lot worse on replay than I thought.

 

[BusbyMalone]

That looked nasty

 

[Withnail]

Flying arse in the face

 

[acnumber9]

What is it with Germans trying to decapitate French players?

 

[Rozay]

McCoist seems to be talking about everything except what is actually going on in the game.

 

[JuliaScalaR]

That's a bit reckless from Goosens.

 

[DWelbz19]

Is it me or is Mbappe quite poor?

All that talking he did before the tournament…

 

[Brwned]

Those fouls should be a clear yellow. So fecking dangerous allowing players to get kicked, knee'd and headed in the head just because "he had to go for it there". Borderline red in that scenario for me.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Game was already stopped

 

[awop]

Wow Pavard will feel that for days...

 

[Reiver]

Should be a yellow

 

[Baxter]

Out cold when he hits the ground

 

[el3mel]

Germany is actually good. Not bad, not bad at all.

 

[fergosaurus]

Löw having a quick sniff

 

[bosnian_red]

Did Gosens block that??? feck. Germany really pushing, hope they get a goal.

Hope Pavard is OK. Thought he was exaggerating because of the danger at first but no he got knocked out

 

[Verminator]

Finish Him!!

 

[KC91]

Think that would have been called off even if they scored

Yeah he's run into blind alleys and lost the ball multiple times in front of his defence multiple times.

 

[Santos J]

Ah the old Löw finger sniff

 

[prateik]

He loves sniffing his fingers

 

[Maroon Lucifer]

this reminds me of that Harald Schumacher assault
