Argentina were on the ropes and couldn't cope with ra big men up top. Some day of football and we have France v England tomorrow !! Tottie wee Croatia certainly have the minerals. Only been formed for five minutes and that is three WC semi-finals they have reached. The Argies and Croats will be buggered and should ask FIFA to make their semi a 15 minutes each way 5-a-side match. Borna may yet get a medal.

Yeah, I was catching glimpses of the game today between taking calls. But you just knew that Holland would either get screwed, or screw themselves. Yeah, Croatia huh? Little guys kickin some big butts. Mon the Croats! Edited December 10, 2022 by Malangsob 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,186 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Always liked the French top. Their football team first impressed me at the '82 World Cup and like their Rugby back line at the time, were full of flair and well worth watching come those televised summer tournaments. England beat them in the First group stage but France went further and went out in that memorable 3-3 thriller of a semi-final with West Germany that Schumacher thought was a boxing bout and got away with it. Platini, Giresse, Tigana, Rocheteau (followed since our game with St.Etienne in the mid 70's), etc were some of the names. Then at 98 you had Zidane, Hendry, Djorkaeff, Desailly, Pires, etc winning the thing. It now lacks a Platini/Zidane like figure in the middle of the park. Griezsmann does a very decent job though and of course they have the human canonball on the left, Mbappe. They may miss Kante in the defensive midfield today and Benzema, for counter attacking at speed/precision.

Yes, France would be a different proposition today had Kante, Benzema and even Pogba been fit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those players, there was a match against Switzerland in the Euros where there was a 15-20 minute spell of fast, fluid attacking from the French that was something very special. The best I have ever seen. Was a wonderful second half and Switzerland went through on penalties 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
