Do you have any idea what I am talking about?

France 1:0. It was like watching Arsenal play Leeds in the 1970s.

It was an Oscar winning performance by Hernandez.

Carried on like he was shot.

A great parody of soccer staging in this old skit by the late Marty Feldman ...

While watching some of the Geelong and Sydney game last night however I was left wondering if a nil all game of soccer between two world class sides is still a much better spectacle than a game of AFL where the winning side has 17 more scoring shots and yet only wins by 2 goals.
...

If no competent team makes the final, it will be just like AFL...

(Is Croatia not competent?
Did Mr. Southgate's chompers always look this huge?)

Well, we have a competent team in the final.

England have won the right to play Belgium for third. Croatia will play France in the Final and win 4:0.

Croatia 2, England 1. England led for most of the game after scoring in the first 5 minutes but finally went behind early in the second period of extra time.

The ghost of Zvoni Boban walks....

Cracking game this morning! Should be a ripper final where, hopefully, Croatia can reverse the result from '98 and beat the French.

Maybe you should ask someone older.

Nah, Pies4shaw is old enough.

That's alright. I think Pies4shaw is a lot of things.

Most of them unprintable?

That is something I haven't heard of. But not all of them?
