Tuchel might want to hide out in the U.S. for a while. This might be more embarrassing for the English than it was for the French.

He might be spotted tomorrow taking refuge under an assumed name on Argentina's bench.

 

[UPChip]

I find it real odd that the French goalkeeper's birth name is Mike.

 

[Webster]

Nice to let Saka take it

 

[MileHigh]

This game is drunk. And so is Darren Fletcher, who has been a treat these six weeks.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Tuchel is officially tucked. 5-4 and the match very much up for grabs.

His teams just can’t rise to the moment with the pressure on. French winning all the balls in the back third and an equalizer was just a matter of time.

 

[MileHigh]

No way we get this tomorrow. 1-0, if we're lucky.

 

[MileHigh]

And the bronze boot to England.

You tune in to a soccer match and an NHL All-Star Game breaks out.

 

[PCLoadLetter]

That was a fun game.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

Is 6-4 the equivalent to the 23-22 game between the Cubs and the Phillies?

 

[Webster]

Exactly what the game should be. Madness.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Never mind. Late sub Bellingham seals the deal.

Will grant you, consolation offenses are great and consolation defenses don’t deliver always in the WC. Fab match.

If even 30% of the games were as exciting as the second half soccer would be the most popular sport in the country. Absolutely electric.

Tomorrow will probably be a tactical, boring slog.

Second-half coaching moves were like Belichick in his prime against Rick Kotite.

And John Strong on the call will bring it down even more. Darren Fletcher was pitch perfect for this match.

Yeah, it was great the blokes on the call just became fans in the second half and let the play speak for itself a lot instead of talking every single second like Strong does.

 

[Driftwood]

The only thing more certain than someone in particular getting booed at tomorrow's match is Fox muting it or pumping in cheer audio.

“ Wonderwall” peaks at No. 2 on the UK pop charts.

Now aren’t you glad they played this game?

Now aren’t you glad they played this game?

Because I was home on a rainy Saturday, yes. It had all of the stakes of the NBA All Star game but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun.

 

[Webster]

A friend had a 7 leg parlay for leading goal scorer for each team, including ties. He won the first 6 and had Kane left for the 7th. The last kick by Jude had him lose the bet. That's why they call it gambling.
