Where's is Bayern's Ribery ? I'm a bith harsh with him, he's the "least bad" of the 4 I listed. But he has history too, 3 games don't change everything magically x) | ||

England players playing like they dont give a fuck, they are bad anyway which doesn't help. Then everytime a Chile player got "touched" they went down like they were shot LOL I would be asking the FA for a refund after that game if i went  | ||

The Col vs Belgium game was reffed by a Enlgish reff and I was amazed how he didn't call some faults, but I guess they were standard tackles in PL so.. | ||

Yes that is why they are not fouls, because they are not. English and German refs allow the game to flow at the right level compared to any other league or referee. Even the Italian ref in Portugal vs Sweden blew his whistle to many times. Don't forget this silly game of Football was invented in England where they used to punch and kick the fuck out of people and "score" a goal lol. To keep it simple and short, this is NOT a NON CONTACT sport and isn't like any other. The ability to pass the ball is great South American teams thrive on this, but they also thrive on rolling on the floor from the "slightest" of touches. Every player is beginning to do it more and more again there seems to be a larger influx again but it still is a contact game. | ||

Does ukraine even have a star player anymore? I don't recall anyone. I'd forgotten sanchez was chilean, that explains things. Meanwhile our own breakout star Mitroglou is still on fire, I think he's 2nd scorer only to Cristiano so far in this season. Also lol at croatia not beating iceland, hope the ice vikings make it! | ||

I guess I could be taking out of my ass because I haven't done the research, but it seems that most of the leg breaking tackles come from England. at least the ones I can remember. I agree its a contact game, and some players exaggerate like neymar or busquets. But where do we draw the line? some of the contact I seen in the PL not called as fault is plain ridiculous like they didn't even go for the ball or tried and things aren't called | ||

Yes there is a line between a breaking leg tackle and slight contact. I will accept the premiership sometimes borderlines bad tackles but it is way better now and most teams (i say most) play a decent level of passing game. Hell look at Chelsea, we won the Champions League playing so defensively and sound, now we out pass Arsenal quite a difference in just 2 years.Guess we both have valid points. | ||

I think the main problem is that coaches don't realize how shit Premier League players are technically and tactically: Rémy, Debuchy, Evra, Sissoko, Nasri were just bad yesterday, like they are since 4 years; and we keep calling them and not trying Griezmann / Schmid / Digne ... Deschamps was too afraid of Ukraine yesterday, Pogba and Matuidi never went too high on the field and that's where they are the best | ||

Ukraine conceded 4 goals in the entire qualifying stage, and we got average players (like you stated), how could we win 3-0? Not to mention than these Ukrainians will play like beasts like yesterday, and I'm sure they'll score at least one goal. Blanc had the chance to start over after the 2010 fiasco, but he didn't. Deschamps was the only man left in the French scene that had both the talent and the balls to finally try something new, and he didn't. If he doesn't quit after this elimination, nothing will change. If he quits, we'll get Zidane and nothing will change. We aren't a major football nation and we have to start playing knowing that. Either we create a nice group of technically talented young players and start building a gameplan (based on the examples of Germany and Spain) OR we start playing with our strengths of the moment, which is physical strength and strong defense. Kick the "talent" we think we have (Nasri, Benzema and others) and build a team based on impact and courage, people who actually love the French team. We will not be brillant but at least the public will support the team again, and we'll have more time to build a long-term team that could go further than groupstage. | ||
