I think Hungary probably grabs a goal if they'd had Szoboszlai for this tournament
I agree. Crazy that he's been injured so long.

He was linked too long with Arsenal last summer. Injury by association

And now we end MD1 with the best game of the bunch.

How do they make these brackets?

Group A and F are really difficult based on FIFA world rankings.

Group C is relatively low quality.

Group B and D are pretty light minus their lone high seed.

Group E is pretty even.

They had a lot of weird rules in place. Most of it was based on the Euro Qualifying results and FIFA rankings, but they also had stipulations for host nations as well as prevented matchups. For instance, Ukraine and Russia couldn't be in the same group because those nations are trying to kill each other in real life.

I guess that is like DeChambeau and Koepka....

Blue star for you sir!
I was in the room here one day... watchin' the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin' about Pele. I'm watchin' what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... the dang (sc) goalie never knew what the hell hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'

Oh boy. Good argument Kimmich should be gone. And Hernandez actually committed the first foul with the shove.

Rudiger with a little bit of the Dark Arts on that reach around.

Apparently we're watching two different matches if you think Kimmich should be gone

That kick to the face was 100% intentional. He's already on a yellow.

ETA I thought it was good work by the ref to diffuse it and not let it get there.

1st yellow: weak ass yellow, should not have been given

The he gets pulled down by Hernandez causing his leg to fling up. You cannot convince me that it was intentional from what we saw. There was no extension aside from being slammed down by Lucas.

I missed halftime replays....I think Kimmich def intended to swing his leg up for contact but feels like, if i saw it correctly, he was semi slammed to the ground....if you slam someone to ground then you maybe deserve to be kicked.....but i want to see the contact just prior to the kick to make sure i saw that right.

Rudiger very lucky not to get sent off. He clearly bit Pogba.

Pogba with a glorious pass that set up the own goal.

Germany do not look france's equal.

Benzema is not keeping up with his teammates.

Not even going to VAR that? That was really close...

Why such a delay in the offsides call? He literally settled the pass and dribbled around 2-3 defenders and took a shot before the flag went up?
Seven and three are ten, not only now, but forever. There has never been a time when seven and three were not ten, nor will there ever be a time when they are not ten. Therefore, I have said that the truth of number is incorruptible and common to all who think. — St. Augustine

Because they want to see the result and then call it. Then VAR can override it. It didn't need EPL micro lines to see it was offside.

Did Germany really just bring in Werner? They want to score, don't they?

I couldn't tell when the flag went up vs. it being realized by the referee vs. Mbappe realizing it wasn't going to be allowed.
