Soccer, World Cup, France beats England

[jssailem]

Man that has to hurt....

Good game to watch. With so much possession it was amazing. Yet unproductive.

Then there were the lightning strikes down field, and the perfect passes that found their players in front of the goal.

Counterattack heaven.

France v. Morocco on Wednesday... Is this the year for a France Christmas miracle?

An Englishman, a Frenchman, a ravishing blonde and an old lady are sharing a compartment on a train as it winds its way through the Alps.

Every now and then the train passes through a tunnel, during which time the compartment is plunged into complete darkness. On one such occasion, a ringing slap is heard and as the train passes back into daylight, the Frenchman is rubbing his sore, red cheek.

The old lady thinks, "I bet that dirty Frenchman fondled the blonde and she struck the pervert."

The blonde thinks, "I bet that filthy Frenchman was looking to grope me in the dark, mistook the old lady for me and she slapped him."

The Frenchman thinks, "I bet that perfidious Englishman touched up the blonde in the dark and she slapped me by mistake."

The Englishman thinks, "I can't wait for another tunnel so I can slap that French twat again."

A German tourist thought it would be nice to watch the French/English match with some fine French wine while dining in a French Cafe. So the German tourist decided to go to France on holiday. At the border, the French border staff asks Occupation? The German replies No, no, no, just visiting.

In light of the fact that much of the UK is on strike this month, I am not surprised... Maybe the players are "in support”

Yay France... GoGoGo Morocco..

Maybe the English players shouldn’t have knelt before the game. (Or at least prayed for good luck.)

GO France. I love a team that goes out and executes a good game plan. They have a great manager. Creative and able to get the players, many who are exceptional players to play together for their country.

Argentina just beat Croatia and will play for the Final, whoever wins between France and Morroco. Argentina looked awful good today. There are no bad teams at this stage of the Cup.

There are no bad teams at this stage of the Cup

That is why watching the games is entertaining.

The qualification process starts 3 years before the Cup, as teams all over the World run through their Domestic and Regional Leagues to produce the best 32 teams. 16 of these teams make it to the knockout elimination round where any of them can win on any given day. Today is France vs. Morroco, Vive la France!

I had the good luck to be in Argentina when they won their quarter-final and semi-final games. Man, those people are crazy about their Futbol! They are positive they will beat France!
