OT: World Cup 2018

[Jay-Bone]

Mbappe wide open, should've settled and full vollied instead of the weak header.

Yeah. His teammates could’ve helped by telling him.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Uruguay is not playing around with the tackles. They’re going in hard. Love that. France is going to have to adapt to that

 

[auror]

France keeps picking off their own passes intended for teammates.

And by France I mean pretty much just Griezmann.

 

[intlzncster]

Clinical free kick.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Wow, what a slash and flip. Magnifique.

 

[auror]

Amazing mirror plays, but one goalie was up to the task.

 

[Jaker]

Great game so far.

 

[auror]

France currently showing the best defense is a good offense.

 

[intlzncster]

Great game so far.

Yes. Soccer guys would like this one, but I can understand how the casual fan might not be as impressed. Solid play all around with great defense on top of that.

Uruguay is really missing Cavani though. He just has a nose for where to be and plays off of Suarez really well.

I wonder if they'll try to get him in for the final 10 minutes or so--he's available I think. Doubt it, but still.

 

[Robertelamin]

Oof. That’s embarrassing.

 

[intlzncster]

That's probably it. Without cavani. Huge mistake

 

[HuskyHawk]

That's probably it. Without cavani. Huge mistake

Even with Cavani that would be it. Uruguay doesn't have that much offense. Defense is supposedly their strength.

 

[BugsyCT]

Wow. Goalie just can't let that happen. That's devastating.

 

[intlzncster]

I think France will get another w Mbappe on the counter

 

[auror]

Want to see the best angle on that knuckle.

Looked like a Rivera cutter.

 

[intlzncster]

Even with Cavani that would be it. Uruguay doesn't have that much offense. Defense is supposedly their strength.

Agree. He just changes things for them. Suarez acts as more of a playmaker for this team... While cavani is the finisher

 

[HuskyHawk]

Want to see the best angle on that knuckle.

Looked like a Rivera cutter.

They just showed it.

 

[intlzncster]

Uruguay really feeling the tension. Losing cool

 

[intlzncster]

Mbappe with his best Neymar there

 

[bobbygt]

Mbappe with his best Neymar there

I can put Mbappe on my dislike list. That was fast for the teeny bopper.

 

[polycom]

France counter attack is basically unstoppable

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Uruguay really feeling the tension. Losing cool

Fellas, no benefit in Uruguay going all sorts of Columbia and Mbappé pulling a Ronaldo-ish drop & roll impersonation. You're grown men with some semblance of brains, act the part

 

[intlzncster]

Really hard for Uruguay on crossed balls into the box. France just so much more size.

 

[intlzncster]

Tolisso is jacked

 

[HuskyHawk]

France counter attack is basically unstoppable

From an eye test point of view, they look like the best team in the tournament.

 

[Jay-Bone]

The big boys have come to play. I hope this stays offensively aggressive by both sides. Should be fun.

 

[UCDaveD]

Oy what a start to this game

 

[intlzncster]

Ruff.

 

[intlzncster]

This game is awesome so far
