Can FIFA send France home early for looking like crap?

[brinoch]

They really look awful. And boring. And awful.

[Jon]

Maybe France should send themselves home early to avoid further national embarrassment.

[TruffleShuffle]

he dove but that was a dumb tackle anyway

[bukie]

Has any UEFA team looked good other than Germany thus far? Even the Netherlands looked sluggish and benefited from an own goal.

[Guest]

Since you're all but done, France, please do the right thing and let South Africa roll you next week just to give them the chance to move on (and maybe still knock Mexico out).

[Guest]

Seriously? Screw you, France.

[Guest]

Hope Marquez enjoyed getting cleated and kneed in the head.

 

I'm not sure there's a Mexican player more deserving of it.

[SpongeWorthy]

Is Blanco the fattest man to ever score a goal at the World Cup?

[bukie]

Meanwhile, every CONMEBOL team could potentially (likely, even) win their group.

At the restaurant where I'm watching, someone just said "the French left their border open, and Mexico is exploiting it as well as they do here."

 

I lol'ed.

[RynoRules]

He may have lost the weight from his coke days, but he dresses much more like a coke dealer now.

I still don't see how a coke head could even be half that fat.

He's the Jake lamotta of soccer.
