The little heel flick was ridiculous.I need to talk to someone about that ridiculous touch by Mbappe that should’ve led to a goal. The successor to Messi and Ronaldo isn’t a striker, I guess.
It was a great touch on by the other Hungarian player to Fiola as wellSince Hungary's #9 came off with what looked like heat exhaustion, they can't get organized and no one is stretching France's lines. They need some luck (or Pavard getting another yellow) to break through in this.
Edit: Or Fiola getting shot out of a cannon.
Yeah, and Pavard had a split second moment of indecision and got too far behind to foul him without getting another card. It was really nicely worked.It was a great touch on by the other Hungarian player to Fiola as well
The heat was a major problem during U.S.A. 94. Hopefully, playing the match in November and December will help. A majority of the matches should kick off after 6 PM local time.If these teams can't handle the heat here they are going to die in Qatar.
They just scared the hell out of the girl at the table.
The fact that the WC is in Qatar is all you need to know about the utter corruption of FIFA.If these teams can't handle the heat here they are going to die in Qatar.

If we ignore their extreme political affiliations and general hijinks, Ultras do bring something to the table.Great atmosphere. Crowd have been brilliant. Really missed a stadium rocking like that .
Honest question, do you think that the Ultras are representative of the 65K or so in the stadium? I don’t follow the Hungarian team.If we ignore their extreme political affiliations and general hijinks, Ultras do bring something to the table.
I think everyone wearing a black T-shirt behind the left goal is an Ultra. The regular fans are feeding off their energy.Honest question, do you think that the Ultras are representative of the 65K or so in the stadium? I don’t follow the Hungarian team.
Are the politics of Hungarian Ultras as frightful as, say, the Italians?If we ignore their extreme political affiliations and general hijinks, Ultras do bring something to the table.
Scarier? Orban has pumped £2b into football since he took power, £460m of it into this stadium. Like many populist autocrats, he uses sports to rally nationalist sentiment to his side. I think the vast majority of Hungarians are through this and support their national team no matter what, but the Ultras can be more like foot soldiers in the perpetual war for authoritarian control.Are the politics of Hungarian Ultras as frightful as, say, the Italians?
The Azores aren’t in the EURO.Fall River.
Their final game will be in Budapest. Group F plays games in Munich and Budapest with Germany getting all games at home.Given that both of France's games have been on the road (Germany at Munich; Hungary at Budapest), four points is still pretty impressive. Is the game against Portugal being played on the Azores or do France finally avoid a true road game?
If France finish second in the group they would potentially have to play England in Wembley in the round of 16.Given that both of France's games have been on the road (Germany at Munich; Hungary at Budapest), four points is still pretty impressive.

I think they are far right.Are the politics of Hungarian Ultras as frightful as, say, the Italians?
I think most Ultra groups these days are regarded as far right.I think they are far right.
I don't know. There are certain clubs that are associated with the Far left. Livorno and Saint Pauli comes to mind. I know that the ultras in the team I root for in Greece tend to be leftists/anarchists.I think most Ultra groups these days are regarded as far right.
In the stadium or outside?Btw, we should note that some French fans behaved like asswipes throwing bottles and the like. Somewhat surprising to me as I 've never heard anything about fans of the French national team getting out of line before.
In the stadium, at the end of the game, when Hungary was doing the usual time-wasting. The Hungary keeper delayed getting the ball for a free kick, and Giroud had to retrieve the ball for him. The French fans were throwing beverage bottles and the like on the field; Giroud himself threw one off the pitch behind the goal line.In the stadium or outside?

Even Pepe?Have to hope that Rudiger manages not to break anyone’s face or bite them today
