I hope so, especially if we’ve got a medical booked for him, within the next few weeks.

Germany players’ football boots were swapped out by the French groundman with concrete slabs.

That will be that. Tough loss to open the group.

Credit to both teams for a great game and hard luck Germany.

Well, congrats to France, that was a close game.

Yeah, well France will win now I assume. But it is no big deal, Germany more than good enough to go through unless something strange happens and they are ineffective in every game.
Not necesarilly always best to be nr 1 in the group. These teams may very well meet again at a later stage in the competition. Both teams better than Portugal, Spain and England imo. Italy looked awesome, but some what hard to say given Turkey’s resistance.

Oh no! Every team I support, loses.

This was a very competitive, intense and physically and mentally demanding game. I thought both teams played exceptionally well.

A very good game. Quality a bit less than what I thought it would be (maybe a bit disappointing if you look closer) , but a nervy game with both teams showing each other a lot of respect.
I have seen both teams slightly better than this.
Still a very good Euro game which had a lot of drama and a very good atmosphere. A tense display.

A bit odd with the tiny, tiny, tiny bite from Rüdiger on Pogba. More slight gnawing than a real bite, but looked truly odd. Far from a Suarez situation though.

If it had been Suarez, a lot more fuss would be made over it.

Sure, but Suarez also bit more than a bit harder and far more obviously.

Pogba was good!
Just saying to see how many get annoyed. :rofl:

French defense very compact and deep some iffy moments but Germany hardly looked like scoring.
Rabiot should have mad it 0-2 but he’s rubbish (though much better than he was).
France will get much better you could see they are finding cohesion. When up to speed I feel they will be unstoppable.
Germany I feel need to find a way to keep an acceleration going in the final 3rd. Kross sitting that deep doesn’t help (France more or less ignored him and just waited). They looked better when Cann came on as he played higher up.
Good match glad I watched it 2 good teams with very contrasting styles.

It could well be that Rüdiger and Pogba have a kind of “thing” when playing against each other. Maybe something happened before. I don’t watch them usually in the PL.

But Rüdiger isn’t a “biter” or a bad guy or whatever. At least I can’t remember anything like that when he played for Germany before.

I am not even sure it was a conscious bite. Just looked really bizarre, because his teeth did hit him slightly.

Also, agree with @Flobs that Pogba was really good. I do think Germany was a bit better overall, but Pogba was indeed good. Mbappe was awesome though. His acceleration was beautiful to watch.

Players do silly things in these tense encounters, going for a nibble and nipple tweaking really isn’t why we watch football.
There were other OTT actions from the Germans tonight they need to calm down this isn’t to see who can be the biggest cunts.
