Sprained MCL or torn meniscus, those injuries often look the same

Fucking brutal. I've bet against the guy, but I would never wish it on him.

He shouldn't come back. He was limping and favoring it since the moment he took the hit. If it's a strain you'd rather err on the side of caution rather than putting him in a position to fucking tear the thing completely.

 

[TheGarfather]

He is definitely not 100%, but honestly I think they do want him out there even if he isn't right. From the looks of it, Portugal won't control possession anyway, so maybe you just need one clinical finish on one good ball in and nobody is better able to do that than him.

 

[Joe Public]

Sissoko is possessed. He's been so much faster than the challenges they've thrown against him so far.

 

[Joe Public]

It's a fair point, this isn't his club team, quite honestly all they need is one game from him.

Which is a terrible way to look at it, but ...

 

[KJ]

If he goes off there is going to be some clinical bus parking

 

[TheGarfather]

Forget it,he is done.

 

[KJ]

Feel just terrible for him really

 

[Joe Public]

Full credit to him for giving it a go. He obviously wants to be on. Really shitty end to his tourney. I feel for him.

 

[Monger]

Payet gonna get so much hate

 

[TheGarfather]

Good sportsmanship from the French fans.

Twitter is on fire. Arsonists all over the place with Ronaldo takes.

 

[Joe Public]

Whoa, check out the haircut/head tattoo?? on Queresma (sp?)

 

[Joe Public]

Not sure you can ever get hotter takes than exist on Twitter.

I mean, occasionally you'll get some one really fucking ignorant on cable news—or Skip Bayless—but other than that ...

Deadspin already has the gif.

[Joe Public]

Sissoko fucking wants this shit. I love it.

 

[TheGarfather]

One of the tweets was about how nice the moth was to try to comfort him

 

[Joe Public]

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Joe Public]

Nobody has worked harder for a goal than Sissoko this half.

 

[KJ]

One of the tweets was about how nice the moth was to try to comfort him

I loved the comment that the French moth whispered "game over"

 

[TheGarfather]

Did Portugal weather the storm a bit? Game feels more even over the last 10

 

[Joe Public]

I think the ten minutes of fuckery with Ronaldo basically served as a timeout for Portugal and killed the French momentum. Now they're trying to build it back up.

 

[TheGarfather]

This kid Sanchez is unbelievable. Would be nice if we could produce 18 year olds with that ability

 

[Joe Public]

If this stays 0-0 through halftime, well, first BetCrimes would be right again. Second, I may be betting France to score in the second half.

 

[KJ]

Took over 1 @ +105 for the 2h, Portugal didn't seem to play as conservative as I expected after he was taken off and expect more pace from France. Of course if this gets to the 70th minute w/o a goal this wager is going to struggle

 

[TheGarfather]

Do you feel a goal coming KJ?

 

[KJ]

I do but I have for much of the game, this is unimpressive from France

 

[KJ]

fuck that was it

 

[guaranteeed]

france playing pants

 

[TheGarfather]

wow

 

[Joe Public]

Well, I went against BetCrimes' numbers and lost. Again.

Fuck me. Great game by Portugal.

Fucking fucking fucking fuck.

 

[KJ]

wasn't meant to be, just need them to win now

 

[guaranteeed]

France need to bring on Martial

portugal legs at the back are dead, his pace would crush them

but my guess is neither manager wants to lose this and we are going to Pens

 

[twinkie13]

Jesus this has been horrid

 

[Joe Public]

Yeah, I tilted off a little bit and now have them to win.

 

[guaranteeed]

Jesus this has been horrid

naw mate

great tactical battle

 

[Joe Public]

I call bullshit on that.

Portugal has been fucking shit in this game and France has played down to their level.

 

[guaranteeed]

Patricio has saved 11 of 47 career Penalties

Lloris saved 8 of 57

 

[Joe Public]

If Portugal wins it will be on Patricio. Without him this game was done in the 90.

 

[KJ]

Semis should have been Tuesday/Wednesday

 

[twinkie13]

naw mate

great tactical battle

extremely boring for the casual fan i can tell you

 

[Joe Public]

It's been boring for us all. A few good moments from France buried in 90+ minutes of shit.

 

[Joe Public]

Although, in fairness, the first 15 or so minutes were pretty good. Then CR7 went down and the whole thing went into a death spiral.

 

[TheGarfather]

France has deserved it even though they have no goals to show for it

 

[Joe Public]

Agreed.

 

[Joe Public]

Griezmann has been exhausted since halftime. You can just see it.

 

[KJ]

Schedule was brutal to play Germans on Thursday now 120 minutes of this 3 days later

 

[KJ]

They all look exhausted, just giving the ball away

 

[Joe Public]

Yeah, there are a ton of mistakes being made right now on both sides. These teams are dead tired.
