Hasn't Benzema had beef with the French national team for a while? Then he got re-instated but I wonder if something else happened and "injury" is the front...

Either way, the French team, for as talented as they are, seem to be the drama squad as well.


He's been out of the RM squad for weeks too. Injury is a little squirrelly.

There was the blackmail but the coach had a beef too.

Also, my BIL and I have literally planned Friday activities around the match.

This.

I literally sent a PSA email to my entire family with "I am doing XYZ on Friday so don't eff with me."

Quote:

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies remains an injury doubt for Canada's World Cup opener against Belgium on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from a hamstring strain suffered earlier this month.

Canada coach John Herdman said Davies was "still building toward top speed. But he hasn't hit that top speed yet."

Awesome! Cannot wait for more premium content (total sarcasm).

I've never noticed him, then again I've been a slacker on here for about a year. Changed my handle and took a break once we started having kids, but I wouldn't miss the WC thread(s) for anything!

Glad to be back (formally Smith&Co1970)!

I never really left The Chelsea thread which has been an effing rollercoaster since the RA stuff.

I missed you guys and making fun of Yids.

Now back to WC! Go Ecuador!

They're just openly taunting us about buying the World Cup. Now they have Morgan Freeman, who was in the US bid delegation, doing voice over.

Who can't they buy off?

The giant puppet shirts really underlines how bad some shirts are compared to others

Congrats to the American Outlaws for getting their chant in there, I guess

Speaking of MIB, I've really been enjoying the podcast with Rog and Coach Beard recapping the history of US soccer.

Alexi already excusing Ggg if we don't advance.

Our players are good enough to get out but most feel they are held back by Ggg.
