2017 Summer Football Tournament- Tournament cancelled, everyone go home (1 Viewer)

It sucks that major international tournament finals seem to be the worst the sport has to offer.

Pretty sure the team that lost to that Greece team in 2004 isn't going to give two ####s about how attractive they played in winning it.

 
Totally classless by Macca to say on air that Portugal won by playing "anti-football",  as Portugal was celebrating  their country's first major soccer title; especially considering Ronaldo went out so soon.  Great team effort.  Respect it, don't denigrate it...

Lol...these commentators think France should have just been handed the title because they play more attractive football?   Ballack was spot on with his post game commentary.

I'm all for anybody calling out ugly soccer. That #### was trash. Portugal had to do what they had to do, but it blew.

One man's trash....is another man's treasure.

You know who really blew?  France, a golden opportunity...

ETA: @Capella...for context, I'm a Roma fan, who play some of the most beautiful soccer in Europe, yet they always finish second in Serie A; usually to a clinical, staid Juve side.  I used to be so jaded to "ugly" football,  but I've learned to appreciate just what amount of team sacrifice & committment it takes to win as a total team, be it professional or international tournsments.  I understand your point, but ironically, there's much more to "the beautiful game" than just aesthetics ...hope that makes sense? :unsure:

As a Devils fan who has watched several Stanley Cups being hoisted in the air due to the trap...I dont care what the hell people think about how you played to get to a win.

Boring wins are sooooooooo much better than exciting losses. 

 
What was Pogba beefing at Sissoko about after the goal? Not closing down on Eder from behind?
From the replays it looked to me like it was Pogba's fault.

Pogba did himself no favors in this tourney.  His body language was horrible.  No idea why ManU would shatter spending records on this guy.  

 
I feel like I watched a different game than all of you. Great chances on both sides. Drama. My bar was packed. Lots of Oooos and Ahhhhhs. Great game from my bar stool as a neutral. 

 
Sure felt a lot like the Broncos making it to ... and winning the Super Bowl without a QB last year.

Not sexy but I'm sure Denver fans aren't complaining.

Congrats, my Picadinho brother!

Telling the truth is classless?  What's he supposed to do, blow smoke up everyone's butt?
