Finnegan Posted 9 July 2018 Share Posted 9 July 2018 That's a cracking face. The face of a major tournament semi finalist.  Not bad for a player from an international pub team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there's been the odd obsessed one but, in the main, most things I've read have been very complimentary (coupled with the odd bit of genuine banter). Personally, I've found it pretty nice to read. I do seriously get why the press coverage in other UK countries drives the locals up the wall. I lived in Scotland for 28 years and I found it embarrassing the majority of the time. Time will of course tell, but I reckon I'd support Wales at the next championship they get to. I probably wouldn't have said that 4 weeks ago. Mind you, I would never have started Lingard 4 weeks ago so we can always be wrong I suppose.   Edit - I know the Welsh people, you included, dgaf whether I would support Wales or not btw.

Foxxed Posted 10 July 2018 Share Posted 10 July 2018 What happens with yellows picked up in the quarters? Mbappe's on a yellow. What if he gains another here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow cards are wiped after the quarter finals. Can only miss the final if red carded in the semi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelBoy73 Posted 10 July 2018 Share Posted 10 July 2018 In my book, the french are set to win by a fair margin. They are such a strong yet versatile team, can sit back and hit you on the counter or keep possession to unlock your deffense through creative teamplay. Will be a nice game when we play theme in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelotas Posted 10 July 2018 Share Posted 10 July 2018 Belgium will concede at least one and don't see them scoring when they're behind. So either France wins or it will be a low score draw.  Penalties at the World Cup: Belgium 1 for 1 (1986 win over Spain), France 2 for 4 (1982 loss to Spain, 1986 win over Brazil, 1998 win over Italy, 2006 loss to Italy)  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 10 July 2018 Share Posted 10 July 2018 Want Belgium (got lots of friends and colleagues there). Would be nice if they win but accumulate loads of injuries and suspensions so they have to field a five a side team in the final (just in case we beat Croatia) Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
