OT: Soccer thread

The only beneficiary of a draw would have been Germany, who are about to get stretched in a track meet.

 

[zeke]

Ole Deutschland!!

 

[lecoqsportif]

I fear for their central D.

 

[lecoqsportif]

GREAT FINNISH BY HUMMELS!!!

Err... oops.

 

[Volcanologist]

I fear for their central D.

correctly, thus far...

 

[zeke]

nice half for both teams but deserved lead for a french side that just looks more lethal in the danger zone.

 

[zeke]

germany not going quietly.

 

[zeke]

that was always offside but oh my god that was a beauty finish.

Hungary is at risk of a proper tonking.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Geezus, it’s like playing against a cheetah.

 

[zeke]

he fast

 

[lecoqsportif]

[lecoqsportif]

Offside.

 

[zeke]

French with a classic catenaccio performance. Not the sexiest choice with a star studded lineup.

 

[lecoqsportif]

That’s how they open up the field. But risky...

 

[lecoqsportif]

France has been wasteful.

 

[zeke]

ach send that ball into the traffic you dummies.

 

[zeke]

well great opening game.

im surprised at france's tactics tho. in the end that kind of football doesn't deserve many goals imo. used to hate when italy did it.

 

[Volcanologist]

deserved win for France.

I dunno, they’re a track team. Compact D with lethal counterattack. Seems logical.
