Most certainly undeserved WC win, only Croatia scored a real goal here.

France should be 3-5-2.. they're being hit in midfield.. Deschamps is too timid to play 3 at the back

Let's take a moment to remember the French Goalies effort. Croatia is truly pressing them.

France are looking oddly weak right now. Croatia are really on the attack. This could cost them soon.

I think France lost their stuff in 45 minutes, and all they have is the small amount of stamina needed to barely hold off Croatia. They've also got that amazing goalie.

Well one more mistimed tackle and he would be off... you know... with a red. It's a logical move really.

Kanté, a French midfielder, is being subbed because Croatia has dominated that area for most of the match. good move on france’s part? Does it even matter anymore?

Well, better they sub him and still be outplayed in midfield, than don't sub him, and have him taken out on red.

Kanté was supposedly the best France had.

I mean it’s not like he’d miss the next game...

If France don't win they have to drop Deschamps.. all that attacking talent and a timid defensive set up, even if they do win he should retire at least

What a fucking goal from the one and only Pogba. There you go, 3-1. France got a 'real' goal now. I don't think Croatia can clinch this back now.

Wut? France is playing terribly, so they get a goal? I'm counting out Croatia.

Croatia is just unlucky. They dominate the midfield and the long ball. They will surely score.

Did anyone actually see what happened? Over here they immediately cut to replays of old goals and such. We didn't even get a good look at the invaders other than they appeared to be dressed in black.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.


The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

This is 100% France. It'll be impossible for Croatia to win. In fact, I will write an apology song if they do.
