Hereward Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That was a performance de genius by ze mighty Bleus. It was only ze suspicious amount of swerve ze Australians managed to get on ze ball that kept ze score down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Australia played well, but France should be way better than they actually played. Maybe just first-match nerves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If, hypothetically, Horzatico had been born among el kangaroos and los wombats, I would be fine with the result. France often takes a while to get into the swing of things, which is great for this Australian team because the room for improvement is as vast as their wide open plains.

Jace, Extat Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'm far from a Soccer expert, but I know sports and game strategies and I love what Iceland is doing. They know that they don't match up well man to man so they're squeezing the ball into the center of the pitch where there's plenty of help. The guy with the long hair specifically turned Messi away from going outside so that his buddies could come in and help. Very good gameplan. Give up all of the field until Argentina reaches extreme range and then force them to maneuver through a crowd. It's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I absolutely detest Fox's coverage of the games .their analysis team and commentators know next to nothing about the game and treat it just like the NBA or NFL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Messi is such a freak. 3 on 1 and it took a fourth defender to save the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Justice done. That was not a penalty. Both players going for the ball and Aguero runs into the defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterfell is Burning Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just now, Vin said: And that's why Messi isn't as good as Ronaldo . ? I'm pretty sure Ronaldo has missed at least as many penalties as Messi, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Messi is known to miss a fair few penalties. That's the only weakness in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Yeah seemed a harsh penalty. It wasn’t well taken either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against Iceland . 88th minute against one of the world's best teams in Spain .I'll pick Ronaldo ,much more character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo has a far better penalty record than Messi. Ronaldo: Scored 104, missed 19 Messi: scored 79, missed 23 (24 with this miss) Source: Ronaldo penalty record Messi penalty record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
