This is too much on the nose, even for me.
Heavy rain damaged one of Russia’s newly-built World Cup stadiums on Sunday when the tournament ended with the final in Moscow.
Footage from the southern city of Volgograd showed a fresh landslide on an embankment near the stadium, which made a several-meter-deep hole in it and covered a sidewalk with mud.

Nef - thanks for the Pogba link
Just shows that in the right context with the right manager how a player like Pogba can evolve
Will that continue under Mourinho ?
He seems to have spent all his time trying to crush Pogba's confidence, Deschamps has allowed him to flower and leadLast edited by loose cannon; 22-07-2018, 16:54.

I love that song and the way they treat Kante as mascot, shy guy and hero all at once. it's very touching.
"Il est gentil il est petit il a stoppé Lionel Messi"
His Coming home video was cool too. a troll bu not vicious. And he must speak, what, 4 languages.

Loved Kante's mum and family in their headscarves

you missed the best line:
Il est petit
Il est gentil,
Il a stoppé Léo Messi
Mais on sait tous que c'est un tricheur (= but we all know he is a cheat)

About a year ago or so I was looking at something on Youtube and the next clip loading automatically happened to be with Pogba, one of those behind the scenes the players had recorded themselves, put up on Instagram or whatever, then it had spread.
I probably spent two hours watching clips with Pogba and his team mates from different clubs doing fun things, because Pogba made me smile.

We’ve learnt that plus ça change, plus c’est pire: in 1998, post WC victory, €44 million were given to grassroots football in France (to 2,000 club initiatives and projects), this time it looks like very little, if any, of the €32m given by FIFA will trickle down to the 14,000 French amateur clubs. Ruissellement : le foot amateur attend sa part des 32 millions de la Coupe du monde 2018
Players will get €400K each (they got €250K two years ago as Euro finalists). Some players, possibly feeling embarrassed, have said that they’d give part/most of it to charities and/or their childhood club(s).Last edited by Pérou Flaquettes; 21-07-2018, 13:17.

Firstly, how much Deschamps looks like Marty Crane
Secondly, the impeccable mic techniques used although I expected a drop and at the end
Thirdly, the French news banner underneath appears to call Putin "Poutine" like that Canadian thing.

It's a little known fact that the dish Poutine was invented by a chef in the Montreal Hyatt Regency to serve to the newly anointed president of Russia during a state visit. He (the chef) was actually a Russian emigre who before leaving the USSR had been tortured in the Lubyanka. As a result the dish he prepared to mark the arrival of President Poutine was some old chips he rescued from the bin, smothered in revolting cheese and then drowned in gravy.
Expecting to be fired, he was amazed to find that people actually seemed to like it
