2-0 France

France is certainly the winner in terrible haircuts. Looks as if the entire team was attacked by a rogue hedge clipper

@humboldtblue: Ces ados actuellement, avec les coiffures, les vêtements, oh la la.
;)

@humboldtblue: For realz. When will the scourge of mohawks shuck off that mortal coil? When, I scream to the gods, when?

Are the underage prostitute guys still suiting up for France?
Amir Khalid
France are bringing it to the Hondurans. They’re going to score pretty soon, I expect.
tsquared2001
On the other hand, the French kit has got it going on. Classic styling. And then you follow with that national anthem? Oh, it is on, Honduras. It is on
⚽️ Martin
@Amir Khalid: Looks that way. But lots of passing, not many real scoring plays. They look like a sloppy German team out there.
(with tragic haircuts)

There should be a new rule: The third time a player does his play-acting on a stretcher he can’t come off until arrival at the hospital.

@Bill E Pilgrim: Va t’en de ma pelouse! Besides ver.I, didn’t I have the impression that BCBG was not the way to go with Honduras? Besides ver.II, pour les ados, épaté est épatant, no?

I’m just happy I get to watch this one. No tv at home and finally got paid at the new job so I can go someplace that has tvs and beer.

Can we get some whining about the officiating please?
tsquared2001
And this is opening verse
Let’s go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!
While they follow with this
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
Spare these sad victims,
Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
But not these accomplices of Bouillé,
All of these animals who, without pity,
Tear their mother’s breast to pieces!
Gotta love that
raven
Here we go.
⚽️ Martin
That was a good call. This ain’t aussie football.
SRW1
That Pallacios fellar is all brawn.
raven
Even the frog fans do that stupid “showing their jersey to the camera” shit.
raven
@SRW1: So was that his second yellar or was it so bad it were red?
Ronnie Pudding
Palacios would make a good free safety.
raven
Oh, so we officiate the game differently when a team is playing short? “The official does everything he can to . . . “

SRW1
@raven:
Yep, he got shown a 2nd yellow which is an automatic red. Will cost him one game suspension.
Amir Khalid
Boy, that was dumb from Wilson Palacios. But France do deserve to be in front.
2liberal
when can we expect to see an end to this endless stream of soccer open threads? (however they do generate a lot of responses)
raven
@2liberal: When it’s over, dumbass.
raven
@SRW1: I must have drifted off!
SRW1
Goal line technology!
ETA: Apparently that ain’t do it either.
⚽️ Martin
Glad they installed the cameras. They need to put those up on the jumbotrons so everyone can stop arguing.
But the spray cans are just a brilliant idea. They could have done that 50 years ago.
Amir Khalid
@2liberal:
Now that our dearly missed friend Randinho is back with us, we can expect to see him back with football posts not just during the World Cup, but also every weekend for the upcoming season which kicks off again in August and runs through the middle of next May.
Infamous Heel-Filcher
Speaking of cautions, I just almost got one from the bar staff for laughing out loud at some dumbass who bellied up and asked for a Budweiser.
Bill E Pilgrim
@tsquared2001: It’s even better in person.
Pretty amazing night. Then of course Hollande actually took office and became the first socialist in history to preach Reaganite trickle-down economics. Sigh.
I guess policies that actually would have worked were too scary.
As they say in France, “Well, that’s fine in practice, but it will never work in theory.”
⚽️ Martin
That was well done.
raven
@Amir Khalid: Yea, that’s what I meant.
Randy Paul aka Randinho
@2liberal: By Bastille Day. Deal with it.
Amir Khalid
Will the second goal be credited to Karim Benzema, making it the first hat-trick of World Cup 2014, or will it be declared an own goal by the Honduras keeper?
Randy Paul aka Randinho
As bad as Wilson Palacios must feel, he still can’t feel as bad as this guy.
Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name)
@Amir Khalid: They seem to be calling it an own goal right now.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@Randy Paul aka Randinho:
It must be said: Those who troll these posts haven’t been present in the same numbers as in the past. In 2010, they were as annoying as the vuvuzelas. Lets hope that it doesn’t get to that point where you have to start implementing the ban hammer again.
Amir Khalid
@Randy Paul aka Randinho:
And we will get the weekly football posts during the season, yes?
raven
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): Jesus, how long have I been here?
Amir Khalid
@Randy Paul aka Randinho:
Talk about your keyboard writing cheques your body can’t cash …
Randy Paul aka Randinho
@Amir Khalid: I’ll do my best, but make no guarantees.

@raven:
I lurked for a few years before I started commenting (DougJ wasn’t an FPer yet), and I started commenting shortly after J.G. had his epiphany. You were already commenting at that point I decided to chirp here.
Shorter me: A long time.
raven
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): But John wasn’t a winger when I started here?
Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name)
@Amir Khalid: @Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): American TV commentators just read the FIFA own goal rule. I think it should be credited to Bensema.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@raven:
Well…I didn’t start commenting the day he flipped the switch. I still lurked for while.
raven
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): I’m checking and Hamsher hooked up with Norquist right before xmas 2009 and it took me until March Madness to get banned. I remember being stuck in a hotel that didn’t have the damn tourney on and commenting here.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@raven:
I wanna say that I started commenting here more often when the 2009 NFL threads started popping up. I started reading BJ when Amato linked to an epic thread here concerning Intelligent Design.
raven
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): Yea, there were certainly more sports threads back then. I think jefferyw pointed me here.
