Bronze Playoff.....England vs France.....spirit of Agincourt or a snooze-fest ?

[PalazioVecchio]

its a difficult watch for some of us. One team has 3 players seen recently in the Palace shirt. The other team has some Chelsea scum.

Personal opinion : everybody raved about how amazing this French squad are. Until they got knocked out by a fairly boring Spanish team. Lets prove the pundits wrong and give France a second black eye.

Of course there is no big prize. But do it for Harry and for England.

Invoking the spirit of the Falklands when England play Argentina is one thing as is the Dunkirk spirit when they play Germany. However, Agincourt feels like a bit of a stretch given it was 600 years ago! As a Scot I think we stayed clear of that one, though technically the Auld Alliance with France was still in place.
Either way I’m supporting Palace players past and present in that one.

Actually went back even further, 1295?

Zero interest...again

Although Tuchel might tinker with the squad

I’ll only watch if Deano gets a run out, it’s a farce really, if ever there’s an ‘on the beach’ game this is it, they’ll all be wishing they was on their sunbeds

The most pointless game ever foisted on the public.

Yes at least they’ve had the sense to play palace v swindon behind closed doors 🤣

Losers final !

 

[BelfastEagle]

Pointless game nobody wants to play in or watch.

It’s a joke that both teams have been knocked out, yet mbappe/kane/bellingham could win the golden boot, from scoring goals in it.

I'd back the players if they wanted to forfeit it tbh. Utterly meaningless.

Completely agree. There's no way goals in that game should count towards the golden boot. Quite happy for Messi to score in the final and win the golden boot outright (there's surely no doubting he's the greatest ever), but hoping Spain beat Argentina comfortably whilst Rodri knocks Enzo's teeth out with a late elbow.

It would also be good if Cucarella could wrap his orchestra stalls round the post after a high speed collision.
