World Cup: Belgium and France set up all-European semi-final (No Latin American Teams Left)
FourFourTwo. Com ^ | July 27, 2018

It was a day of Europe vs. South America as the quarter-finals got under way, with the former continent emerging triumphant on two occasions. Together with Brazil's loss, Uruguay's 2-0 defeat by France means there are no longer any CONMEBOL nations left standing. France will fancy their chances of going all the way after its comfortable victory over the Uruguayans on Friday. Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann got the goals for Les Blues, which has now kept three clean sheets.

Prove it’s communist.

Nobody that says such nonsense can ever answer it.

half of those 90 minutes seem to be spent rolling on the ground crying like little sissies when somebody barely touches them

Except this “FRANCE” is about 60% African.

Not really France playing soccer on that team.

France’s national soccer team has always been an embarrassment to it’s nation.

Most of their players are either African, Caribbean, Arab or European immigrants. You can say the same thing about their teams in the early 1980’s as well.

I love the sport, but you have a point.
Until the refs finally begin red carding idiots like that, it’s going to continue unfortunately.

Neymar of Brazil has been the biggest clown for this tactic in this World Cup.

And how many whites are on American football teams?

Because the fans are anesthetized to the condition of their nations. The more totalitarian, the more violent towards opponents.

Now, in American football you have obnoxious fans, such as Alabama, LSU, or Ole Miss fans. That said, you can generally go to a nice tailgate before and after the game and have a great time. Other than Raider or Eagle fans, NFL fans tend to have a great time together.

Opposing teams in Communist kickball literally go to war.

Three of the teams has never won a World Cup title. England’s last win was in 1966.

France won in 1998.

I agree completely. The fakery is ruining the game.

But it’s not so much that they’re being sissies. It’s much worse than that. They’re trying to influence the officiating through blatant deception. That’s just flat out cheating and it’s basically accepted now as part of the game.

They should one official in the VAR booth looking at nothing but obviously faked/grossly exaggerated injuries and radio down to the referee to issue a yellow card anytime he finds one. I don’t care if at the end of a match there are only 8 players left on the field. The diving has to stop!

And I hope France kicks England’s teeth in. France’s coach was a member of the great ‘98 World Cup champions. Would love to see them do it again.

I prefer to watch high school football. Much more exciting than the dull idiotic pro teams.

I should imagine a number of the blacks are native Frenchmen. Remember the French Colonies? They also fought on the side of the allies in WW II.

Every Icelandic player and substitutes ended with an “son” at the end of their surname except for one.

I believe the more “authenic” spelling is SSON etc.

AS IN Anders son

As in Olafs son

Or on the ladies teams

Anders dottir
Olafs dottir

etc.

You’re referring to South America teams (plus Italy!). If you watch the Sweden vs England game today you saw none of that nonsense.

I think it started to backfire on those teams in this WC - it was over the top and started to be ignored, assumed to be acting. It isn’t very respected elsewhere and would be booed in English football.

First time you and I have ever disagreed. I can’t stand soccer and especially can’t stand that globalists are trying to force it on us so we won’t like manly sports like football any more.
