PBP: Ukraine vs France: June 15 - Donbass Arena [R]

What does the rain change? Do ya'll think it will psyche out one team or the other?

 

Only thing I can think of is that it could take the excitement out of the home fans and give a bit of an advantage to France in that manner.

Oh... and I guess if the pitch is a mess it could nullify France's advantage in technical skills. Plus it will make it tough on the goalies.

 

Or at least diminishes that homefield-advantage

 

uefa decided it will be resumed after 15min

 

Endlich!

 

Does this match suspension put more pressure on France or Ukraine?

 

HT: 0-0

 

France is doing much better from what I'm reading about the match. How is it looking for you guys with Live feeds?

 

Until they get struck by lightning!

 

I don't have a live feed. I hope we see M'Vila and Giroud at some point in the second hald. M'Vila because he will help boss things in midfield, and Giroud because he will offer a direct goalscoring threat. Throwing on Ben Arfa might be useful too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Menez will keep his feelings under control and doesn't get a second yellow card.

 

Jérémy Ménez makes it 0-1!

 

Finally! Now it will be a matter of frustrating Ukraine! Allez Les Bleus!!

 

And now Cabaye has made it 2-0! We should be winning this now!!

 

Yohan Cabaye makes it 0-2. Wow.

 

France in autopilot now. Job's done. It could have been three, but the post saved Ukraine.

 

FT: 0-2

 

Bummer of a loss for Ukraine, but they still have a chance to pull past the group stage... Of course, they'll be facing England (+ Wayne Rooney)....

 

Incredible: we played a good match and won !

 

Today is a good day. France won, I just made a deal at work, and I should be getting my paycheck within the next hour...
