[The Ides of March]

Mbappe really is world class at 19.

And playing with astonishing maturity!!

 

[fatletiss]

Yeah I'm English, well a mixture but born in England with Australian and Brazilian mixed in. I just have no connection to the national team, find it hard to get motivated for a team nobody really gives a **** about except for a few weeks every 2 years filled with players that 99% of the time you want to see fail at their club teams

I really give a **** about our national team all the time. Why do you say nobody does?

 

[The Ides of March]

What a turn-around! Mascherano´s legs must have gone because he has been nowhere to be seen this half, after being so influential in the first.

 

[The Ides of March]

Took over from Luke Shaw as the world’s most expensive teenager...

Is he officially with PSG now?

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Is he officially with PSG now?

Yes, for £128 million.

 

[tomw24]

Is he officially with PSG now?

Not sure they can afford him.

Poorly worded from me, I know lots of people who will go England crazy during the tournaments but never bother with qualifying games or friendlies though

Belgium vs France in the semi would be tasty.

It's a common argument by those for who don't follow England. Pretty baseless imo.

Are you bothered when Saints play friendlies?

 

[tomw24]

4-3....

I can understand people not bothering to watch meaningless friendlies but most English football fans follow qualifying games as far as I know.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Argies are such sore losers.

Otamendi is a prick.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

An okay-ish start to the knockouts I suppose.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Argentina go out, Messi has never scored in the knockout stages. End of an era?

 

[The Ides of March]

France has just demonstrated how important to have pace surrounding the craftsmanship of Griezemann and Giroud when lacking a mastermidfielder a la Iniesta!!

 

[sotonsaint]

People will knock him after this tournament, but then he’ll go and win the ballon d’or next season .

 

[......loading......]

France look bloody good. Wanted Argentina to win just to get rid of these talented Frenchmen, but it would have been a real loss to the tournament.

Greatest of all time right? Errmmmm...

Yeah you can't knock the amount of goals he scores against Levante and Getafe etc.
