World Cup Match Thread Day 14 - Wednesday

[DuDe]

Does anyone think this France team are any better the England?

Even Iran put in better performances, after their first game.

 

[SpurSince57]

Neville is trying to sound more upbeat but it doesn't come across as natural.

Look, the translation software can only do so much with 'Nghhhh, Urgghhh, nice crayons, pretty crayons, eat crayons!'

 

[thinktank]

lol

 

[beats1]

Only people with eyes.

The french don't think they are that good

 

[thinktank]

Ecuador are the thickest team in the tourney.

 

[DuDe]

So, we had to wait 80 minutes for this game to come alive.

 

[beats1]

Lloris is better than Hart, Benzema is better than Rooney, Pogba is better than Wilshere. They're not brilliant, but I think they're better than England

Benzema has been getting abuse all year for being shit.

The french team has alot of potential but it isn't that good

However their coach is miles ahead of Roy

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Would never have believed this would be a goalless draw.

Fishbone - and Angelo Moore, the lead singer. The best band you've (probably) never heard of.

I just listened to a track called Servitude. there must be better bands I've never heard of, surely.

This french team did get their ass handed to them by Ukraine as well, a month after england beat them

However their coach is miles ahead of Roy

 

[thinktank]

lol fuck me, Ecuador...so bad.

 

[beats1]

It did strike me that we have been playing the italian way more than Italy themselves over the last couple of years

 

[nightgoat]

Now Giroud gets away with a blatant elbow.

 

[beats1]

lol fuck me, Ecuador...so bad.

I seen alot of people want Valencia on here recently

Well, they're going back to basics, I think. Probably circa: 1980s.

Individually, technique wise, there's not heaps in it, but the French are taught as kids to pass the ball to each other, while the English kids are being taught to win headers.

 

[LSUY]

If we only signed 1 player this summer, I would want it to be Ricardo Rodriguez . How is Schar playing?

He hasn't been too bad, can't see him being dropped for the next game. But it's hard to judge as aside from a handful of moments Honduras hasn't really offered anything going forward.

Not the best one by any stretch. Have a listen to 'When Problems Arise' or their cover of 'Freddie's Dead' by Curtis Mayfield.
