OK I'm on holidays and I don't slap much so I'll keep it short.....fuck yes I'm hyped!
But also wary. We lost the Euro final 2 years ago when everybody thought it would be easy defeating Portugal...
and the 2006 final still stings.
That being said, I don't see how Belgium could be considered unlucky or better: France had 10 shots on target, they had 4. And they had 3 times as many fouls as France.
so I'm amazed Courtois accuses France of anti-football ?? Belgium attacked way less when they were protecting their own lead vs Brazil!! It's a fuckin world cup semi-final....There's no fair play in these situations, no it's not pretty but that's how it is. Again, my first memory of football is France-Germany in 82 so fuck your notions of beautiful play and fair-play.
yes the ref had it wrong for Giroud and Hazard but that's it, it doesn't define the whole game. Both keepers were amazing. But IMO France plays more collectively. Hazard is incredible but tries too much by himself.
I'm just amazed at this French squad honestly. They are incredibly mature for their age (24 is the medium) so they could go on to do damage for 10 years.
Damn. I tried to keep it short....I'm too excited I guess!!
