GWT: World Cup - Round of 16 - France v. Poland

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

You really have a problem man.

And yes France hasn't been very good. And yet' it's still 0-0.
Also should be 1-1.

Loool I’m teasing from the bs I’ve been hearing but ok.

France still should win. Just something to think about

Now Kounde is forced to remove that gold chain.

 

[hatterson]

I don't understand why a player would go through such a hassle just to wear a chain.

 

[Evilo]

Finally.

It looks good on his Instagram pictures

 

[Power Man]

Great defense by Poland lol

 

[Evilo]

Giroud now alone at the top, in front of Henry and Platini.
Nobody would have bet that 10 years ago.

 

[gary69]

Giroud now France all time goalscorer, great time to score just before half-time. Well timed run to Mbappe's pass.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Props to Giroud. Who would’ve thought he’d become the most prolific french striker. I thought he was finished few years ago.

It should have been Benzema, but we know what happened with him.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

France very suspect in defense.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

England or France?

 

[koyvoo]

Lloris almost pulling a Neuer

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Great defense by Poland lol

That defender reacted like 2 seconds later to the pass. Weird.

 

[Evilo]

France very suspect in defense.

Mostly Kounde and Lloris.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mostly Kounde and Lloris.

Largely Kounde sadly.

Very weak on Polands best chance

 

[Evilo]

Phew.
45 minutes to go but I feel like it's going to be easier now.

Largely Kounde sadly.

Lloris is scaring me like he never has before tbh.

 

[Gecklund]

Lloris looks shaky to say the least.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Poland can't afford to miss on glorious chances. Their best one went straight at Lloris

 

[ItsFineImFine]

France are a bit like England imo. Shit manager who tries to play into the team's weakness (defence) and isn't actually that good at organizing a defence rather than playing to their strength which would be higher tempo passing and attacking especially with quick instead of slow counters.

They do at least use a proper goal song unlike England, ironically from a band from England.

Also not sure why Kounde is starting over Pavard unless Pavard is injured.

 

[cgf]

England or France?

I just don't see England on the same level as France, Brazil, or Argentina. Feels like the first top team they face will expose Maguire left & right.

 

[Venkman]

Nice by Mbappe and Giroud but poor from Glik stepping out of defence.

Please.
Shit manager has won a WC, made an EC final, won as captain every possible trophy available to mankind and coached to a CL final eliminating the Galacticos with a bunch of nobodies on the team.

DD is excellent at organizing a defense, but he chose to start 4 offensive players + Theo Hernandez (who is close to a 5th offensive player). He's taking a bold approach and I like it.

And finally, Pavard sucks so much it's not funny.

So you're saying that he's just as successful of a coach as Jogi Löw?


...I disagreed with that poster too, just teasing since Jogi accomplished that too, despite being s***...

It usually is this way.

In the entire history of tournament football, England have never, not one single time, ever beaten a true top team in the knockouts, outside of tournaments held on home soil. Not once. Ever.
