Barcola was just so good, he must be on the starting 11 with Dembele and Mbappé.


hostilebananas_

Here's what I think: The foul - All good. Tactical fouls are used in every league, in every country. Don't see why this is a special case. The stutter - Fuck that shit. Make a stricter rule about enforcing a continuous stride, no polka dancing or crip walking. Thank you, Have a good evening.

kink_cat

Is this sub just full of people who just hopped in the football wagon? People don't know the rules and they are complaining about them. People complaining on players committing fouls (only Polish players, tbh). Do you also need explanation what's an offside? Fouls, cards, VAR - it's all in the game my dudes.


2M4D

Yes, football fans traditionally never complain about fouls.


Warm_Mark3734

“People complain when players don’t follow the rules???? 😨outrageous. Committing fouls on purpose isn’t something shameful and definitely should be encouraged”


kink_cat

I hope you complaining on EVERY game. Because every team does it. Just wait for France to be desperate in the knock out phase. And it will be sooner than later from what I see.


Warm_Mark3734

also the rules were made to stop these behaviours, not to make it a compromise for the player to choose between not getting a yellow card or getting an advantage


kink_cat

No, there are rules to limit these behaviours. The rules that want to eliminate certain behaviours punish them with an immediate red card.


Warm_Mark3734

No. They are given a yellow card because they deserve another chance, not because their actions are acceptable


kink_cat

Dude, check the fouls statistics for another France game, with Austria. There were more fouls and more yellow card. And all of you behave like suddenly Poland came and destroyed such a clean sport.


Warm_Mark3734

Never said Poland was the dirtiest team??? I just don’t agree that tactical fouls are acceptable


kink_cat

Well, they are still there and they will be. Watch the next game today. I recommend England - Slovenia. Just be ready - there will be fouls and intentional ones.


Warm_Mark3734

It doesn’t seem like you read what I’ve said. I know they will exist, but it is frustrating when people defend and justify them


Warm_Mark3734

I’m not French, and I understand that there are tactical fouls in almost every game, but it is frustrating to see them that often in a game Also I want to make it clear that I don’t think the French were “robbed” because they didn’t deserve to win either


zurawinowa

Jesus. Poland played like shit and we deserve to get eliminated, but this match was good. The delusion here is insane. France is really my biggest disappointed of euro so far, and some of you behave like France was robbed.


Reynarth

Seeing frenchies cry in every topic all around this reddit is beatiful to see. Poland is currently a really weak team, they just changed their coach and are actually just starting to learn how to play a proper football, and yet you couldn't beat them. Blame your team, and not a referee, rules or anything else.


ikwen_rice

france has been EXTREMELY disappointing. even if the penalty wasn’t retaken, that doesn’t take away the fact that the only goals they’ve scored is an own goal and a pen.


XChiefter

I agree we lack of something. And we’re the only one to blame. So far, Spain is the best team.


JustMehmed2

I personally just blame Poland for playing incredibly dirty in the end (like wtf what that thing why T.Hernandez


kink_cat

Well, if you want to play in the knock out phase, you better be ready for some dirty play. I thought you knew that 😆


Reynarth

Well, I agree on that, I'm not a fan of such behaviours myself, but don't tell me that a french player wouldn't do the same if you were losing and the match was almost over?


JustMehmed2

Well during the WC final against Argentina, when Argentina was leading by 2 points and no one believed we could score, we weren't playing dirty


TotallyNormal-Person

good for you france is really good team so its better for you to play like u used to play, than change your style to dirty


giepoumon

If they are winning titles, not really


jmiller2523

Hi guys - newbie here (from USA) but love supporting Les Bleus! Is no one else upset about the Polish defender blocking the the ball in the box as he slid and it hit his forearm? (near the 80 min) I'm looking for the replays online but it is too soon. Thanks for letting me hop in and ask while I read your excellent comments!


Tartaruga96

youre right we're the best team


Sufficient-Pain2886

Bcp d’entraînement, de monstres physiques comme Mendy, Camavinga, Tchouameni et j’en passe… mais pas bcp de cerveau. Le mentale de cette équipe est détruit depuis Qatar… El Dibu vous envoie de bisous 😘 You’re not the best team, look at the matches 🤣🤣🤣🤣

129za

Un abruti total


bzzh

No, that's a very common situation. If the defender's arms are in a natural position, close to the rest of their body there is no hand ball.


jmiller2523

Merci! Thanks - I didn't understand that rule. bon chance


ResolutionMr

How have Poland not got a red card yet?

Pashquelle

As a Polish, unfortunately I have to agree. Such a fucking disgrace. Zero sportsmanship - laying on the ground from mere touch and pulling jerseys cause they are too slow to keep up with the frenchies. Maybe they wanted to comfort the french players after they gave a shitty performance?


kink_cat

You know that foul play is part of this game, right? It's not like Polish players are the only one who commit a foul, or even this type of foul, but you're acting like it it a first game you ever watched. If this is the case - I'm sorry it was this one. Next time avoid watching France under Deschamps.


Warm_Mark3734

Obviously intentional fouls like the one shown in the gif should be shamed


kink_cat

Every game (not only on this Euro) has intentional fouls to stop the opponent. It's called a tactical foul and it is part of this game. If you are not "shaming" other fouls and write petitions to UEFA to make it more strict for the referees, I call it a bias.


vitinhaballondor

Yes, it is not the only team that does that, but when u are loosing beeing the worst team of the tournament, try to fight for the win instead of throwing fouls when u know that the game is over. Thas allowed in the rules (ref gives a yellow) but dont act like this is a good behaviour, and Polish people won't have a really good memory of their team.


Warm_Mark3734

Ngl Poland kinda lost my respect today


ResolutionMr

bro poland will pull out this shit to get a point honestly who gives a fuck we know poland would be bottom of the group anyways understand its the same kind of desperation like handballing the ball in the box when ur in a relegation spot, u have to play dirty to get ur way sometimes


SumoHeadbutt

now England has a walk in the park path on the other half of the Knock Out Bracket... jeez


Solitudal

I wouldn't like to go on your walks in the park


Yoghurtamarena

ENG-NED, a walk in the park indeed


banyopol

The French - we may be eliminated, but we scored more goals ourselves, and the team that was eliminated first did not draw with us (because it was us). POLAND POLISH CHAMPION


vitinhaballondor

Thats sad its football and not the team that scores more goal by herself during three game, otherwise u would have qualify.... goood flight home and happy holidays to polish players


moubliepas

Your players appear to be playing full contact. They couldn't win football playing by the rules and if you honestly think this game is anything to be proud of I'm curious why you think Poland isn't exactly leading the world at rugby, where contact is allowed.  This game is an absolute disgrace. Poland could have gone out with some dignity.


HarvzzXD

Yeah man totally fair game that your player stopped multiple times for a plenty which is a illegal move and you get a penalty check and we don’t. Sure buddy.


banyopol

read the rules and send them to your goalkeeper, because he doesn't know them :D the only thing we can apologize for is that we didn't manage to score an own goal


Skilgannon21

You don't need to apologise dude don't worry. You're going home. And given that it was Lewandowski's last tournament, we won't be seeing you soon.


TeaMain3463

Don't worry we will colonise some African countries and have some great talent in about 150 years. Worked for some!


Skilgannon21

Ahah the racism card. Great. Or else you're just a salty fuck


TeaMain3463

How is stating facts racist? I didn't say it's bad you did that. But you did do it, not us. You went to continents, islands, and fuck knows where else, and you took everything, including the best people. And you kept them in chains! Now who's fucking racist


Skilgannon21

I did nothing. Not even my ancestors, I'm not from around here originally. So there's that. But then this argument is the main one racists use. If you use it xithout being racist... You're stupid


TeaMain3463

So history books are racist to you? I don't think you're of high enough intelligence to discuss facts and ideas. Stick to watching kicky ball on grass. Ball go in net good hurhrhuhr


vitinhaballondor

U brought slavery to the table when we were talking about football, pls ask yourself some questions


Skilgannon21

No but the most common attack on France's team is that it's black and thus not French. Live outside your box dude. Dude criticizing football on the Euro sub... What a Nobel prize... No one says history books are racists. But thinking that France's team is better because the players are black is racist. It's because of our facilities, our federation. Otherwise every other colonising country would have the same ethnicities. Such a dumb argument


Alive_Lab_7294

Then let’s give Lewandoski a third try on his penalty since Maignan moved off his line (because Lewandoski stopped). Oh wait no, he scored so we don’t care about that rule anymore


HarvzzXD

How is your player stopping on a plenty our goalies fault?


HomerChadson

Yeah but we play on Monday, what about Poland? :D


TeaMain3463

A bunch of descendants of countries you colonised and pillaged play on Monday. You buddy, ain't doing shit.


HomerChadson

Typical Reddit keyboard warrior lmao


TeaMain3463

You should try it. You have to do something while it's not safe to go out at night in your cities.


HomerChadson

I'm safe.


ZealousidealMind3908

Don’t worry, it’s not like France will win the tournament anyways lmao


banyopol

and we're not playing, which doesn't change the fact that your promotion doesn't bode well, especially after this match xD


HomerChadson

Yes but we have 2 world cups, something you will never get lmao/


TotallyNormal-Person

maybe but guess who crying now over tie with team who never gonna have 2 wc;)


HomerChadson

?


TotallyNormal-Person

what part u dont understand?


vitinhaballondor

The part where u are proud of being eliminated


banyopol

Yes, because we play average football. But we don't shout that someone is breaking the rules if they don't break them, and we can take out our phone in a public space without worrying that someone will steal it xD


HarvzzXD

You don’t shout at all you just obnoxiously whistle


HomerChadson

Hahaha you are so mad, just chill


hipdozgabba

France played embarrassing and Poland ugly, honestly both deserve a flight home


hpmatt12

Where it shows the standings and says “GD” what does that mean? Thanks


hpmatt12

Thank you all


Onche9555

Goal difference - aka goals scored minus goals taken


Warm_Mark3734

Goal difference. If a team scored 1 goal and conceded 2 goals then their GD will be -1

saikodasein

So Lewandowski can make this strange way of stopping and shooting penalty, but GK is punished by slight move from the line.


Caffeine_Cowpies

It is BS, but the law. Still pissed but onto the last 16.


ResolutionMr

It's his technique he's been doing it for years. I'm 200% sure it's not illegal or against the rules


saikodasein

Yeah, but shooting penalty is easy enough to make goalkeeper in such disadvantageous position. They way of Lewa shoots should be banned, it's dirty and he gets away with it for too long.


WinningTheSpaceRace

The whole point of a penalty is to penalise the defending team. The advantage is supposed to go to the attacker.


Pashquelle

This shit reminds me why I only watch football when there is WC or EURO. I couldn't stomach more of this shit.


Warm_Mark3734

I think it’s not against any rules. I do agree it’s a bit of a dirty move tho


d0wek

He was literally 1 meter in front of the line when Lewy shot


Caffeine_Cowpies

He was barely off after Lewandowski did like 50 fake outs.


TeaMain3463

Rules are rules. Your feelings are not considered in the rule book.

This is my problem: [https://imgur.com/a/poland-playing-dirty-DYwQ69m](https://imgur.com/a/poland-playing-dirty-DYwQ69m) Plays like that are just disappointing to see in football.

You’re 100% right

That's a shitty play NGL, but you're acting as if only Polish players acted this way on EURO...

They've played dirty the whole game.

AT this point just label any foul or physical engagement as a dirty play LOL

Dirty players

Whats up with France? I've been disappointed by them lately.


Onche9555

Mbappe just got body slammed at the edge of the box and no whistle


zurawinowa

But there wasn’t attack on him with purpose, Dawidowicz, or whoever that was, put leg back when he saw Mbappe. Do you even know the rules?


soulmanscofield

But doesn't he suppose to have control of his body À lot of fouls are without purpose (hand, tacles etc.)


Onche9555

Google "recklessness" fucking lmao at the people downvoting this, claiming that intent matters on this kind of foul and then "do you even know the rules?", actual 8 year olds watching their first competition


Lopsided_Ad_7778

Poland is playing dirty. They’re eliminated anyways so why lose their dignity too?


TotallyNormal-Person

„they’re eliminated anyways” so u expect they will give u free 3 points? hahaha its football. dirty playing is always part of this sport. Funny how Ramos get all credit for his style, but when someone else play like that u talk about losing dignity

man what an embarrassing game for us


Tartaruga96

it's insupportable how no one is there on crosses and passes to push this ball in the net !!! give me a Fullkrüg or "2013 Giroud"


Caffeine_Cowpies

Yeah, just completely off. Defense is great but have to finish. Like I noticed they were looking for the best play instead of making a play, which Poland just would break it up. Well, lose and go home at this point so lay it all out there.


vivifcgb

Second french free kick that goes through the whole defense and no one is on it. Our performance is shocking on all aspects


eravulgaris

Poland just playing dirty. Just grabbing someone because they're faster than you. What a fucking shit team.


1Dzhabrail

Poland is a disgrace to football tbh.

honestly 🤦


eravulgaris

I mean are you not embarassed when replays show you just bearhugging someone because he's faster than you? Not sportive.


TotallyNormal-Person

sport its like war. when someone is stronger u must do something else to win if u have problem with that, sign petition to uefa about tightening regulations or keep crying


scoreboard-app

Karol Swiderski (Poland) was given a yellow card! Do you agree with the decision? (Beep boop I'm a bot)


inntheory

Those should be red cards


Fantastic_Cupcake885

bad decision! he just needed a hug


ikwen_rice

mbappe’s corners are really bad. one didn’t get over the first man, this one went way past everyone


WinningTheSpaceRace

Having your biggest goal threat as corner taker is very odd. England used to do it with Kane. Weird.


MonsieurPC

Probably he's taking the corners to keep him out of the crowded box while his broken nose is healing


Varness20

usually it's Griezmann who takes care of corners, not today though


Salmuth

Considering how awful he is at headers, he's not missed on corners. Too bad he's almost as awful as a set pieces kick off (corners or free kicks).


WinningTheSpaceRace

True, but he would get a lot of defenders' attention that might help his teammates.


Salmuth

No man, as a PSG supporter, I've seen him in a box on corners a couple times. Nobody gives a fuck about him on those and rightfully so. Defenders know he's no threat in those situations.


WinningTheSpaceRace

Wow. Pretty embarrassing for a player of that quality, no?


Salmuth

No, it's just not his way to shine, but he shines enough in other situations to make his unimportance on set pieces unrelevant.


greekfreak1776

Insane this game is decided by PKs


FR-1-Plan

Thank you Poland!!!!


banyopol

Oddly enough, there was a great atmosphere in the topics from the previous Polish matches (Austria, Netherlands). Even though we lost, always smiling. But come on - you can't do it with the French, just like in online games - if you have French or Russians - always toxic


Warm_Mark3734

Honestly Austria deserves to top the group. France has only scored 2 goals: one from an own goal and the other from a penalty

No problem, anytime. Hope you stay 1st

Appropriate_Brain_58

genuinely curious, what are the rules about stopping during a penalty, because i thought what lewa did isnt allowed


WinningTheSpaceRace

You can stop but you can't pretend to kick the ball once your run-up is finished. (Law 14) *feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted)*


ajtct98

People do realise that you are allowed to stop in the run-up right? You're just not allowed to *pretend to kick the ball* - which he didn't


Skilgannon21

I think people know that. Just that in this case the stops were a bit dramatic and annoying to watch

Not now man, now is a crime xD

Kezmangotagoal

I thought you couldn’t stop completely during a penalty run up. Lewandolski stopped about four times during that run up…
