World Cup Soccer 2018

Team Building. Sounds like a productive use of time to me. :slight_smile:

ALLEZ LES BLEU
The first semi final has gone the way I wanted!! (Can’t say the same for this WC in general so far.)
Hopefully Croatia beat England tomorrow and I can rest easy.

@DodosAreDead:

It should actually say Allez Les Bleus!

Did Lukaku play today? I never saw him…

I had to watch the 2nd half on mute because I was on a conference call.

I agree the Belgium’s forwards didn’t look good.

I can’t talk about the game with my family because they are in “radio silence” mode and will watch this evening.

I watched on a plane. Thankfully! The French defense was very stingy after the first 10-ish mins of the match. The 1st half was played cleanly. 2nd half not so much. Pogba had a great game. Lakaku “disappeared without a trace.” Although he just missed getting his head on a cross into the box.

I wonder if the Croatian team has been discharged yet from the hospital after their last match vs. Russia. :))

Post “Allez Les Bleus!” (without the quotes) on Facebook and watch what happens.

France produces the most World Cup players. Here’s why.

The video is an interesting watch in addition to the short article.

England will take care of France Sunday. No worries B-)

^^I hope so, but don’t count your chickens just yet. There is Croatis to deal with first.

teamcrotia :D

Come on England !!!

Fox over-hyping England in the pregrame, just as espn did 8 years ago. Don’t care for it, but we shall overcome! :)>-

Brilliant goal! Bring on France!

It’s heading in the right direction :wink:

Croatia already looks gassed (16 min mark in first half). Fouling us constantly. We’ll get another goal and then this one’s on ice.

One characteristic that today’s match has that yeaterday’s France-Belgium match didn’t have is that the audience today has a pulse.

That’s bc we’re witnessing history. The gold trophey is coming home, and everyone wants to be part of this. =D>

I’ve been playing Words with Friends with a woman in England for years and we chat regularly. I told her I would be cheering for England today. And she said "We need all the cheering we can get. IT’S COMING HOME! "

I really hope so!

@sevmom, you’re my new favorite poster on cc (recall our mutual affinity for Sweden)! Tell your friend not to mind France being the favorite. We’ve been waiting since '66 and this is our year.
