[Spartans Rule]

Save of the tournament.  Damn. 

Edging out the previous leader for best save of the tournament, which was also Hugo Lloris.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Is football coming home?  Eff you dude.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

clearly wrong thread but does Henry have any full time coaching aspirations?

Asking for some one who needs a national team coach..............................

He lobbied a bit for the Arsenal job. 

But maybe he’s really missed screaming at Juan Agudelo. 

 

[Kafka]

Floppo wears NBA tear-away Velcro pants. Not that I would know. 

Pretty sure it's sweatpants...

@Sweatpants Boner Man

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

What a save from Lloris there

Like that cat video. 

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

How did France get a Mexican dude?

 

[Kafka]

How did France get a Mexican dude?

From France's colonization of Mexico, duh.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

De Bruyne is looking especially dangerous today.  

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

From France's colonization of Mexico, duh.

Liberte, egalite, tamale!

 

[ChiefD]

Every time I see that soccer ball I swear it has red chili peppers all over it.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Vertonghen is not playing LB.

See?

 

[Kafka]

Oh, Olivierrr...

Eta: @Ramsay Hunt Experience...Pelle would of buried that purely with his handsomeness...

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Tremendous play from Mbappe spoiled by a terrible touch from the barista

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

See?

See?

All this joking and I forgot that Napoleon III did install a client state in Mexico. 

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Right Guard?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh, Olivierrr...

Eta: @Ramsay Hunt Experience...Pelle would of buried that purely with his handsomeness...

Only one wY to settle this. Walk Off!

Didn't he also put an axe in Trotsky's head whilst in Mexico?

 

[Jaysus]

How did France get a Mexican dude?

Same way Russia had a brazilian

 

[Jaysus]

Pavard's style is so sangfroid...

he's been my non-russian find of the tourney.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Pick your head up Curly!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Fascinating tactical battle imo

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Great save by Quatorze

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Kick save, and a beauty from Courtois!  Thought that was a goal.

 

[The Gator]

Hazard channeling his inner Neymar and trying to beat an entire team on his own.

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Merde!

 

[Kafka]

This has been a fantastic 0-0 half.

Vertonghen is not playing LB.  

hth

Motm so far, imo

 

[Scoresman]

Come on Belgium.  Remember your motivation. These filthy frogs have stolen the frite from you and called it their own.  Time for reparations.  

 

[Eephus]

cagey first half

 

[The Gator]

This has been a fantastic 0-0 half.

Motm so far, imo

Also, nobody has ever looked more like a Jan than him 

 

[Kafka]

Also, nobody has ever looked more like a Jan than him 

As I see it, there is only one sub from both teams that could change the entire complexity of this game...

Vermaelan!

 

[Kafka]

Merde!

Vermaelan!

Sat next to a nice gentleman of late 60s, originally from Ecuador moved here when he was 16.He's working down the street as a journeyman electrician.   We enjoyed the first half at a bar in the shadow of Trump Tower and jabbered quite a bit about how he got here, why he came here, how great our country is (even today) and he tried to buy my lunch. Little did he know I live at JRB.  Haven't been as happy to pick up a tab since I picked up the tab for the Navy guys on Fleet week during Gulf War 2.  Great guy.  Great soccer fan.  I love the World Cup.

425 - Olivier Giroud has now played over seven hours of football at the 2018 World Cup (425 minutes) without managing a single shot on target.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Damn...here I thought I knew @El Floppo...

The finest fast pants Ecuadorian I've ever met.   

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Dammit

 

[Jaysus]

ummmm... tities....

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Homeless Napoleon Dynamite with the crappy marking.

 

[Ned]

ummmm... tities....

Best name in sports. 

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

He really did stick around St. Petersburg 

 

[The Gator]

Diiiirty from Mbappe

 

[Sinn Fein]

mmm, bappe

 

[Sinn Fein]

Mbappe worth so much more than Neymar, imo - just based on less baggage alone.

 

[Jaysus]

mmm, bappe

I will never not sing that to myself when I hear his name. 

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

The Fighting Waffles look tired

 

[Eephus]

MEATENS time

 

[Jaysus]

b.s. yellow on hazard after the fouls he'staken

 

[Slapdash]

Being 7 years younger doesn't hurt either.

 

[Sinn Fein]

b.s. yellow on hazard after the fouls he'staken

It was a waste of a yellow - because it looked like Mertens was going to get the ball anyway.
