hope griezmann scores 50 and paris is 1000 times as loud as it was last night :)also it's hilarious how all you hear about in the French media after last nights win is the defeat in 82

That's fair re: Bale.
I fear Cron may somehow sneak this. I'd love to see him lose just for giggles though.

trust me the giggles will be if france lose

portugal have wrought unto this tournament what greece wrought unto their own grand parade in 2004 and i hope they finish the job

anyway, clatts is the man in the middle, should be fun
― imago, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:10 (eight years ago) link
i think having ronaldo and a few other multi-million pound players makes it a little different from greece
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Friday, 8 July 2016 08:11 (eight years ago) link
i'm well-disposed to the portuguese people after watching the arabian nights trilogy. they deserve a break, or something
― imago, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:15 (eight years ago) link
I can only assume that Clatts habitually whacks off a selection of UEFA dignitaries because his getting both major finals is just incomprehensible.

he just hates footballers more than any other ref

prob not the worst shout for england manager tbh
― r|t|c, Friday, 8 July 2016 08:52 (eight years ago) link
he's also lucky enough that teams from his country don't get to the semis so he's always on the short list of refs for finals

I live a bit outside of Paris atm & people are still making a load of noise right now, horns and chants and some little kid hollering the "seven nation army" riff.
I was in Istanbul one year when Fenerbahçe won the league title against Galatasaray & people were shooting guns into the air still several days later. not *quite* that mad here right now but come Sunday

Given that it was Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, are you sure those shots were in the air?

haha I guess I don't know, there were sirens constantly as well for several days

Want France to win, but in true fashion this will be a terrible final with Ornlado's tears of joy drowning millions of moths won't it?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
Mon dieu, this closing ceremony...
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 10 July 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link
Collina has no real function there. They just brought him down to draw all the moths into the terrifying tractor beam of his eyes where they will burn for eternity.

liking the intensity from the France midfield so far

Danny Murphy really did hit new heights of gormless credulity when he said he thought Ronaldo was genuinely injured just then.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:11 (eight years ago) link
not convinced he can tell Pogba, Matuidi and Sissoko apart, either

Not many people will realise that's his personal moth, which he has trained to feed on his tears. It just thought it was an early dinner tonight.

is one allowed to re-sub a substituted player? i mean 85th minute 0-0. he might have recovered by then :P
― Ludo, Sunday, 10 July 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
i think ronaldo should come off at least 3 times before actually being subbed
