At least historically, France is the better team. France also didn’t get to play all but one match in this Euro at home… Lulz @ 1998…know how I can tell you’re old (I’m 54)?

July 12, 20214 yr As an Arsenal fan Sako played poorly today. The moment is pretty big for a 19 year old and obviously the pen was a shit cap on it. Mbappe did the same thing (shit in run of play, shit in pens) and is a top 5 player in the world. It happens. I love the Prem. That said don’t mind seeing England lose for the lulz but you are out of your fucking mind if you think a single squad in that tourney would have three black players miss penalty conversions and not have a shitload of bullshit racist crap thrown their way. Again see Mbappe…just a few weeks ago by a country some of you are extolling as virtuous. (Narrator: It is not)

As someone who lived in the city during the height of the Yankees/Sox rivalry I'll disagree. You consistently saw a red sox guy sitting with his Yankee buddy etc and vice versa. No way are you doing that for the NLD. You wouldn't even make into the concourse. There are no barricades between fans with rows of stewards at any college rivalry or US sporting event. I've never seen police form a human barrier and shut off entire modes of transportation so that the away fans can get out of the stadium. Some of those Dodger/Giants might be close.

July 12, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Ted Lange said: Their fan base is like combining the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys and Aggy. I've said for a couple of weeks that England & the Cowboys are very similar. They get tons of press and are frequently picked as one of the favorites and then never come close. Before 2018 and England kind of having run, the last time that England had made it to a Semifinal was 1996. The last time the Cowboys even got to a Conference Championship was 1996.
July 12, 20214 yr Italy knows how to celebrate! Euro 2020: One dead, several injured during Italy Euro 2020 celebrations One person [Two people] died and several were injured in Italy as the country celebrated their victory over England in Sunday's Euro 2020 final. Italy won the championship in London for the first time since 1968, with a 3-2 penalty shootout win after the match finished 1-1 in regular and extra time. A 22-year-old man died (#1) in a car crash in Caltagirone, Sicily, as he was rushing to the town centre to join victory festivities, police said. In Milan, 15 people were hurt, three seriously, when post-match partying became rowdy. One of them lost three fingers when a firework exploded in his hand. In a town near the southern city of Foggia, police believe a hitman took advantage of the chaos in the streets to settle a score, shooting dead his target (#2) in the crowd before escaping on a motorbike. The victim's six-year-old niece was also wounded in the attack, with media reporting that she was in a "very serious" condition. https://www.espn.com/soccer/italy-ita/story/4431673/euro-2020-one-deadseveral-injured-during-italy-euro-2020-celebrations

Quote France has been plunged into a fresh race crisis after claims that football officials tried to limit black and Arab players on youth training schemes to make the French team more white. The French football federation has opened an internal investigation after website Mediapart reported that top management approved a quota system to limit young black players and those of north African origin emerging as candidates for the national team. The alleged plan involved limiting non-white youngsters as young as 12 or 13 from entering the selection process through training centres and academies. "For the top brass in French football, the issue is settled: there are too many blacks, too many Arabs, and not enough white players in French football," the website said. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/29/french-football-race-row
