WC 2018

[strider6004]

Congratulations to France for winning it and also a well done to Croatia.

I was surprised and pleased England made it to the Semi Finals and hoped the Final would be Belgium v England.

I enjoyed this World Cup far, far more, than I ever thought I would.

Best game for me was the Belgium v Brazil one. Shading the Portugal v Spain one.

I made a little bit of money, when the 1/4s were drawn I bet on France to win the tournament.

I agree on Belgium and Brazil the next for me was Argentina against France.

 

[Londonisblue]

Congratulations! How is your liver holding up?

Didn't know you are French btw, you hid that well

Si je parle français sur le forum, personne ne me comprendra haha ^^ ! Meilleure soirée de ma vie hier haha !! J'ai parlé du fait que j'étais français quand le topic WC 2018 avait été crée et qu'on parlait du niveau des équipes avant que la CDM ne commence !! Et notamment des choix de DD et de l'absence de benzema !

Liver is better than at 2 am haha. Head still a bit sore haha ^^ !

I mentioned that I was French when the WC 2018 topic was created and we talked about the level of the teams before the HOM started !! And in particular choices of DD and the absence of benzema !

Liver is better than at 2 am haha. Head still a bit sore haha ^^ !

Je comprend most of it, il y a long temps que j'ai parlé Français 

Good luck with your head and liver, and with regard to Benzema: a winning coach is always right

The greatest day of my life !!! Being french, that day will be forever remembered as my greatest souvenir as a football fan (with our UCL 2012 win of course ) !!!! I've been partying until 1:00 am ... Since the game ended at 6:50 pm, it's been a solid 6 hours of party antics haha !!! Les champs were unbelievable ... the bar I was in with friends went mental !!! Unbelievable game !!! A 4-2 win ... Last time there's been as many goals was in 1966. Last time there's been more was in 1958. Mbappé finishing with 4 goals, one in the final. Truly, this guy is progressing at such a fast rate !!!! Already one more World Cup than CR7 and Messi!!! Unbelievable !!! France suffered against an excellent side !!! Croatia really made us suffer !!!! Thank God we got Mbappé upfront for our devastating counter attacks !!! Allez les bleus !!!

ps : The World Cup is coming home !!! Jules Rimet created it and was french !

Toutes mes félicitations, Londonisblue!

Dommage pour nous, mais ... je crois, c'était deux centimètres.

Best goal for me was Kevin DE BRUYNE v Brazil

I'm away to look up my' Del Boy Trotter' French phrase book !

Del Boy is fluent in many languages. His deft use of foreign phrases in every day language is an impressive demonstration of his cosmopolitan nature. Equally at home in Paris, Munich or Peckham, Del is a true European for the 21st century.

[cuppaT]

Because he is easier to get? And also pretty damn good? How on earth is it hard to fathom why a team would want Hazard?

Because his goal return is average, not even in comparison to Ronaldo but any decent attacking player? Because he can easily down tools for a whole season in the peak of his career to spite a manager? Because you're paying near world record money for a version of Willian who's good for 7 months instead of 2? 

 

[Stim]

holy sh*t you're funny

I knew a few of Del Boy's favourites yet amazed to see so many!

So was I to be honest.

A nation of 11.35 million completely outclassing a nation of 53 million - what a shambles.

 Over 12 million people play football in England, for example.

Sorry you French and Belgians but................

Are you sure?

I don't trust it, Coco.

Sorry you French and Belgians but................

Cycling's coming home from the pharmacy !!        again.

I find it very interesting that Froome  wins the big races over and over again and then we  find that, just like Sir Lord Bradley Wiggins, he has such bad asthma that he has to take exceedingly high doses of Salbutamol/Ventolin, and the fact that this massively increases his performance levels is just an unintended consequence.  However, having been caught out by drugs testing, but cleared of any wrong-doing because he is British and "A WINNER", he has to do this years Tour clean.  His asthma must be incredibly bad,  because appears to be a bit pants without his "medicine"
