France - Peru

[Levin]

Hard stares all round for there being no thread until now. Unless I've missed it.

[EIM]

Two Argentina v Croatia threads so you can excuse us this.

[Felicity, I guess so]

Magnificent performance of Peruvian anthem again. hate to see them go out at the expense of stodgy euro-plodders (Eriksen, in one single moment, excepted)

[ad hoc]

Is this FRAPER, the fragrant vaper? Satisfy your need for a smoke free hit while providing delightful smells for those around you. Choose from pine forest, lavender, sea mist, or rancid durian

[Jah Womble]

Unfortunately it also has another meaning these days.

Anyways - give us some goals, teams.

[ad hoc]

Oh fuck, it hadn't even occurred to me. Seems a bit sick now.

[Jah Womble]

Oh, not at all on your part. That expression thankfully appears to be dying out now. (Used to piss me off somewhat when I'd see my sister's friend and her daughter using it on Facebook.)

Bit of a feisty affair so far, this. Reckon we're in for our second red card...

[Incandenza]

2 dives from Mbappe so far.

[Jobi1]

Not particularly enjoying Lee Dixon, but that was a good put-down to an attempted snidey piss take by the commentator just then.

Commentator: "Mbappe wasn't even born when France won the World Cup in 1998! What were you doing then?"
Dixon: "...just winning the double."

Have a marmalade sandwich and you'll be over it.

[Incandenza]

So close for Peru!

[ad hoc]

Did well to turn round Umtiti but then shot straight at Lloris

I hope Aunt Lucy is enjoying this one in the home for retired bears in Lima.

Sam Matterface is the commentator - he strikes me as a really smug dickhead. Tries far too hard to be banterous but actually just sounds patronising.

[ad hoc]

Merde

[Gangster Octopus]

Mbappe.

[Incandenza]

Peru were getting too comfortable knocking it around at the back, and got punished.

[ursus arctos]

The choreographed “no big deal” celebration deserves a special place in Hell.

[Felicity, I guess so]

Agreed

[anton pulisov]

mmmmmbappe, not papa bouba diop
C'est but, yeah

[Incandenza]

Mbappe is really feeling it now.

[Pietro Paolo Virdis]

I've found my interest goes down when France are about to play.

[anton pulisov]

Can you tell me who will still care?
Mmmmbape

[Jah Womble]

France have put together one or two decent moves.

Deserving of their lead, IMO.

[ursus arctos]

The gold trim on the shoulders of Peru’s kit is off-putting.
