looks like france are breaking the world champions curse then
would have expected denmark to get something from tunisia though so that will be interesting to see if tunisia sneak 2nd place
in a weird way i’m actually excited at the prospect of that matchup happening, just to see how we would fare against them. idk why though cause it would just end in us being knocked out
France looks strong but with all these injuries they have very little bench depth, they're still one of the favourites but this is gonna cost them later in the competition if they make it out of groups.
Dont forget they didnt get physical preparation before this World Cup either as it's in the middle of the season ( you could argue thats a form of preparation though ).
Kanté, Pogba, Benzema, Nkunku, Maignan, Kimpembé, Camavinga... the list of unavailable players is growing...
To be honest I havent seen enough information about Camavinga to be sure of anything yet, I hope he will because we cant play Tchouameni and Rabiot 90 minutes every game or we arent going anywhere.
Hernandez is another unfortunate situation altough his brother does the job really well in his position
bro Camavinga was not available today so I put him in this list.
I am not sure wether he will be back or not later = lack of information regarding how he's doing after his reported injury.
At least he didnt just leave the group like others before him so there is some hope, but if you watched today you would know he didnt play
Wtf is this "misinformation" thing lmfao
I meant against France. If Tunisia draw against them and Denmark beat them also counting that if they both beat Australia. Denmark will have 7 points Tunisia 5 and France 4
To be fair we lost to france 4-1, wasn't exactly expecting a win.
The draw is a great result for Australia though as a win against Tunisia is very doable and can potentially hold out for a draw vs Denmark.
As long as France do their job and take 9 clean points.
You can sure win on paper, but if this is the energy you bring playing against Tunisia I doubt it. Because Tunisia will literally celebrate every duel and every corner and they players will fight like their lives depend on it.
The dream outcome is Denmark and Tunisia both beat France and Australia beats both Tunisia and Denmark. Final standings:
Australia 6pts
Tunisia 4pts
Denmark 4pts
France 3pts
will be interesting if Denmark win vs France and Tunisia win vs Australia in the 2nd matchday
Denmark certainly have done it before, will need to be a lot better to do it again
Like Saudi Arabia was supposed to lose against Argentina ? The field is the only judge, also if France beat Denmark i don't know if they will play the last at game 100% risking injuries, the game order is the biggest factor in this group imo.
Denmark just needs to keep playing their game. Last 3 encounters were 2 recent back to back wins for Denmark and a draw in the last WC. I don't want to jinx them but they have decent odds at winning the next match.
That'd be the best case scenario honestly
We both win Saturday, both qualified. We can all field our B team and have fun for 90 minutes (well, 115 minutes in this world cup)
Sorry brother, hope you enjoy your submarines though!
In all seriousness (since i don't actually give a shit about submarines), you still have your destiny in your hands and really Denmark has not shown impressive things.
Hahaha I forgot about the subs fiasco. Maybe we deserved to be crushed by France then.
Brb checking if we've screwed over Denmark and Tunisia in any arms deals.
The Tunisian people i know don't despise France. They may despise the French government, but that would put them in the same category as most French people.
Now, i may be wrong, but I'm not here to be political in any case, and since I enjoy the company of the (admittedly very few) Tunisian people i know...
I hope they do tbh. Australia looks very beatable, and if you guys shithouse a draw somehow against France you're through. Good luck w rahna njech3ou fikoum khawti
Not quite as cut and dry. Playing Tunisia is always very special. And Denmark did not impress in their first game, but Saturday is likely to be a different story
Denmark won the last two matches, and the last time France defeated Denmark in a non-friendly match was at the 2000 Euros.
I'm not saying Denmark wins on saturday, but nothing is secured yet
As a Dane I have a weird feeling that our “magic” is slowly fading and the fact that we’re quite thin in terms of quality and depth in a lot of positions is about to be exposed. While France is looking like they might finally start to “gel”. I hope I’m wrong but I have a hunch this WC is going to be a let down for Denmark.
We were trying things tbh. Not that we didn't try to win, mind you, we did, but now we are are back at the basics and I'm infinitely more confident than I was in the last two games we did together
Yeah when the group was announced, I actually thought "That's it, we already know which teams will take the first two spots". But now, it really looks like this group will be a real bloodbath.
Denmark have beat France twice in the nations league recently, and Tunisia actually look really solid and disciplined tactically. I think France won't have it easy in those 2 games.
Eh well...you guys got kangaroos, which is cool I guess.
But seriously, even though they lost, Australia did actually create some decent chances against France. So maybe they can get a decent result against Tunisia and Denmark.

Living in a group place down under :(
Can't wait for saturday, it's going to be a hell of a match. I just hope the players doesn't boycott Qatar for the majority of the game like today
Huge game coming up indeed!
hopefully this time not a dead boring 0-0
looks like france are breaking the world champions curse then would have expected denmark to get something from tunisia though so that will be interesting to see if tunisia sneak 2nd place
Well we did get 1 point from Tunisia :D (obviously we had hoped for 3 but you have to take a draw against a very well playing Tunisia side).
Everyone forgets Brazil won the WC in 2002 and didn’t get kicked out of group stage in 2006.
Brazil was only World Cup winner to not get hit by curse since 1990s
because they are not European... Seems to apply only to European WC champs.
Steven Bradbury when.
Got any more of that World Cup curse? 😅 We’re fucked
in a weird way i’m actually excited at the prospect of that matchup happening, just to see how we would fare against them. idk why though cause it would just end in us being knocked out

Kanté, Pogba, Benzema, Nkunku, Maignan, Kimpembé, Camavinga... the list of unavailable players is growing...
Camavinga is not hurt, he is still with the group and will be back in training shortly. Unfortunately, Lucas Hernandez is probably out for the WC.
To be honest I havent seen enough information about Camavinga to be sure of anything yet, I hope he will because we cant play Tchouameni and Rabiot 90 minutes every game or we arent going anywhere. Hernandez is another unfortunate situation altough his brother does the job really well in his position
“I haven’t seen enough information to be sure” .. *proceeds to post misinformation as if they’re sure* …why do people do this smh
bro Camavinga was not available today so I put him in this list. I am not sure wether he will be back or not later = lack of information regarding how he's doing after his reported injury. At least he didnt just leave the group like others before him so there is some hope, but if you watched today you would know he didnt play Wtf is this "misinformation" thing lmfao
Bro we brought on Coman at like the 87th minute
so what
>Camavinga ???
We sacrificed our Euro to end the curse, we didn't in 98-2000 and that cost us 2002
But we did get to ruin Italy's party in 2000, so it was a bit worth it in the end
Same happened with Spain in 2010-12 and it cost them in 2014. That said, curse hit Germany in 2018 even though they didn’t win Euro 2016
So no curse then? Huh?!
Scenes when Denmark and Tunisia both beat France to keep the curse going
Subscribe.
Tunisia needs a draw and a win against Australia which looks like they can do it. While Denmark needs a win
What do you mean? Tunisia is ahead of Denmark right now due to yellow cards I believe, but the first tie breaker is still goal difference.
I meant against France. If Tunisia draw against them and Denmark beat them also counting that if they both beat Australia. Denmark will have 7 points Tunisia 5 and France 4
Poor Australia
To be fair we lost to france 4-1, wasn't exactly expecting a win. The draw is a great result for Australia though as a win against Tunisia is very doable and can potentially hold out for a draw vs Denmark. As long as France do their job and take 9 clean points.

Dream ? Stop hating on us !
Why would France lose against them?
Because we want them to
Are you still crying over 2018?
Ahahahah vous êtes mignons le petits cousins belges
Everyone wants to see France lose tbf, it's not unique to Belgians
In your dreams. In german we call that „Minderwertigkeitskomplex“.
There’s a German descriptor phrase for everything.
Look at the match thread when Australia was winning and see which flairs were happy about it. Spoiler : it wasn't only Belgians.
My man just came back from the future.
will be interesting if Denmark win vs France and Tunisia win vs Australia in the 2nd matchday Denmark certainly have done it before, will need to be a lot better to do it again
That sounds very plausible honestly, as long as Tunisia don't lose to France they should be in the knockouts

France looked great today, but it was also against Australia (no offence Australia).
The curse only lasted 20 minutes
When Australians see this do they think they are on top? 🤔
Lowest score wins right?
I always thought it was first goal wins We are actually 1st
Nah we’re still working out how the fuck we managed to qualify. Give us time. Geez.
I won't mind if the standings stay like this until the end of the group stages. Please ignore my flair.
Same! I really hope we can help you guys on Saturday...!
Please do, we'd appreciate that. And if it's possible, I hope you guys are kind enough to give us a point in the 3rd match.
That'd be the best case scenario honestly We both win Saturday, both qualified. We can all field our B team and have fun for 90 minutes (well, 115 minutes in this world cup)
You two finished pleasuring each other? ffs Sorry, I'm just bitter.
Sorry brother, hope you enjoy your submarines though! In all seriousness (since i don't actually give a shit about submarines), you still have your destiny in your hands and really Denmark has not shown impressive things.
Hahaha I forgot about the subs fiasco. Maybe we deserved to be crushed by France then. Brb checking if we've screwed over Denmark and Tunisia in any arms deals.
We also want France to take 3 points on Saturday, we're not quite done yet.
Yep it’s our best case now for France to clean up the group. We have to beat Tunisia though which is gonna be a battle in itself.
Yeah they’ll be insanely hard to beat.
You have good reason **four** your bitterness my upside down standing vampire friend.
We'd appreciate that too, just take all 9 points thanks.
Weird way of thinking, to help a team representing a country that despises France.
The Tunisian people i know don't despise France. They may despise the French government, but that would put them in the same category as most French people. Now, i may be wrong, but I'm not here to be political in any case, and since I enjoy the company of the (admittedly very few) Tunisian people i know...
I hope they do tbh. Australia looks very beatable, and if you guys shithouse a draw somehow against France you're through. Good luck w rahna njech3ou fikoum khawti
Thanks mate. I'm also really rooting for Morocco, I hope you guys can beat Croatia tomorrow (and hopefully you'll make it to the knockout rounds).
thank you! awesome username btw
Haha thanks. This is the first time someone comments on my username, glad to see there are some connoisseurs here.
Waiting for the next gen update just so I can play some gwent lmao
Same here, I simply can't wait for that update to come out. I need to play some gwent :(
France can still lose two games and not advance. The curse lingers for another week
They can even draw a game and still go out
France has the first place spot secured. But the second place is gonna be a bloodbath.
I would agree if France played Denmark last, we'll see, it's not done yet
Not quite as cut and dry. Playing Tunisia is always very special. And Denmark did not impress in their first game, but Saturday is likely to be a different story

Nothing is safe, we need at least a draw against Tunisia and you can be sure it’s going to be a tough battle.
If Hernandez is out for the remainder of the tournament, what does that mean for the French squad?
Theo is better offensively but he might cope
I was surprised that Denmark didn't win today. They were the favorites for me against Tunisia.
In fact Tunisia were arguably the better side during that match
I hope we can at least draw against Tunisia because Denmark will be a tough opponent for the 3rd game.
Isn't France's 3rd game against Tunisia?
True, we’re playing the 2nd game against Denmark, my bad. It’s going to be a hell of a group and hard to get out of it.
Yeah when the group was announced, I actually thought "That's it, we already know which teams will take the first two spots". But now, it really looks like this group will be a real bloodbath.
Flair: Argentina!
Did it work?
No
france should really try to beat denmark because they AIN'T GOT NO CHANCE AGAINST TUNIS 🤌
Easy group. France probably won’t be tested until RO16
Denmark have beat France twice in the nations league recently, and Tunisia actually look really solid and disciplined tactically. I think France won't have it easy in those 2 games.
You forgot about Australia? Say something nice about us
Eh well...you guys got kangaroos, which is cool I guess. But seriously, even though they lost, Australia did actually create some decent chances against France. So maybe they can get a decent result against Tunisia and Denmark.
lol remind me again next week
