Dr_Pangloss Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Has to be said, this is the worst international tournament that I've ever seen. Really no 'great' matches to speak of and the quality was poor throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tournament has made that seem like a good idea. Each nation's police forces will hopefully be able to contain the scum, with them spread across multiple countries. This tournament has been a disgrace when it comes to fan behaviour, distributing the policing across a number of countries might help.

maqroll Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I didn't understand the Payet substitution, did he pick up a knock? 57th minute is early for a guy who was playing fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kurtsimonw Posted July 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2016 I do love the bitterness. God forbid a player scores important goals to lead his team to a final, get injured and has the audacity to celebrate. It just makes it better than he is the captain and he will lift the trophy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they had a certain charm about them, and they actually won a couple of games of football along the way unlike this utterly disagreeable bunch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 The Ronaldo hate is strong. His country, for who he is captain, have just won a major championship. I don't see the issue in him showing passion and being happy, everything he does is under a microscope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Most teams did not play that well. Iceland and Wales were good stories, there was the drama of Putin's guerrilla street force and a few nice goals, but yeah, not the best tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more to do with the fact that for nearly 15 years he has been and continues to be an immensely unlikeable word removed. Not hard to understand surely?

He missed one good chance but it was pretty close. As much as Sissoko played well with his runs, I think he should have taken him off instead of Payet. and got Pogba higher up the pitch. Pogba didn't really effect the match because he was too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm assuming it's like a "Well done for being the best and getting to ref the final" type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
