I’m happy for the Spanish goalkeeper, he redeemed himself for that blunder.

Benzema twice in 90 seconds!

France really just stunned the Swiss with those two quickies after SUI blew the PK.
What a momentum swing!

What a goal from Pogba!

Imagine how good France would be if Mbappe gets on track.

Your are correct because Mbappe whiffed on an easy one earlier.
That Pogba strike was a rocket from distance! Impressive.
There is actually a lot of time left and I was worried about their occasional defensive lapses but now they have a cushion.

Well I was for Poland, but they’re out. I’m pretty neutral, only I don’t want those English kneeling bastards to win.

You’re funny and I never thought of it that way. Honestly, it’s bc I’m part “kneeling bloody limey” since my grandmother was a war bride brought home by my GI grandfather.
