Oh, and that slightly down-mouthed Gallic shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Sensed arrogance within that French side since their game vs Hungary. They just expected to turn up and win I felt. It caught up with them which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Two great games. Spain after a slow start at least in terms of possession to goals have started to step up, Croatia have beaten Spain a few times and I wondered if it might be another but no- couldn't believe how passive Croatia were in 1st half. Tonight's game, I almost gave it a miss as you know, France v Switzerland either an easy win for France or just a bit of a stodgy game. In the past that matchup has been anyway at times, tonight was anything but! Full credit to Switzerland overall, some great goals from both sides in the game. Pogba's lovely. Makes the dismissal of Switzerland by Keane and Neville after the Italy game look a bit premature, not saying Switzerland are world class but they are a decent side. Oh yeah, forgot to add, had Rodriguez scored his penalty then I think Switzerland win in normal time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 What a great night of football that was. Two games finishing 3-3 in 90mins one after the other is nuts! Absolutely bricking it for 5pm. Any predictions? It's honestly 50/50 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well that result has certainly put Garfield in the budgie cage and opened things up. Fingers crossed we can beat the Germans tonight. Not holding my breath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re at home tonight which is another big advantage. I think it’s a genuine 50/50 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it doesn’t go to penalties…….…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I wonder if Chris Gunter was watching last night. Maybe reflecting on an unfancied side, who’ve had to put in more miles than even the Welsh, finding themselves apparently down and out, but chose to spend the last ten minutes looking for goals instead of looking to kick lumps out of their opponents.
