You lads deleting my post pointing out that France's national team is indistinguishable from any African side is discouraging. I guess its true what they say about Aggie nation smh

It was a good harmless joke I thought.

It's always wise to question the decisions of Staph.

Either Senegal is really good or France is really bad.

Senegal is really good. They're a top 15 team in the world. France attack is all about hero ball and a solid defense can sorta clamp that down.

Still think France will win this match though. They've had a couple balls that Mbappe failed to control. He gets his first touch settled and they'll be in business

I think Senegal could be a huge dark horse if heat becomes a factor for the European squads. These guys will give zero F's about any heat they face here and they're more than talented enough to exploit fatigue from their opponents.

As long as the goalkeeper's towel is not stolen.

France is a slave to their star power. Playing Dembele at the 10 to get him in the lineup when Cherki is sitting on the bench. Mbappe is an insane goal scorer but his work rate is awful. Just completely out of balance.

Feels like France is playing not to lose. That may not end well.

Mbappe at striker is a waste as well. I'd have Mateta up top and get Mbappe on the LW

Yeah honestly it feels like Real Madrid this year… just trying to get a bunch of dudes with names on the field even if they all play the same position.

Germany begs your pardon.

But to your point - we were able to compete with them in the friendly, so yeah - why not us?

I'm sorry, they played a small Caribbean Island of less than 200k that doesn't even normally make the later rounds of World Cup qualifying (or even the Gold Cup). They were tied 30 minutes into that game too.

And what happened after that goal.

Lots of football to be played.

Ref sure seems to be letting a lot of stuff go, including some pretty obvious fouls.

I also think its just a typical Euro complaint point when the game isn't good. They immediately blame American pitches

Spain drew a small West African country of less than 500k that's never made the tournament before.

We found the circle back to my original comment. Vegas does not believe Germany's win means anything.

The BBC announcers (Alan Shearer) are hammering Mbappe for his performance today.

Really thought that was a penalty live. But don't think it was on replay. Great refereeing

Should be a lofty day of international football as two African powers (Senegal and "France") do battle.

I'll be damned. That might be first time I've seen a ref stick with his on field decision after being asked to go to monitor.
