The new footy thread

Fonte has been a fine player for Saints and I like Cedric as well. Saints have lost Victor Wanyama in midfield and Sadio Mane up front, hopefully they can fine some suitable replacements. On the one hand, it's good that the club is making money, but I think the fans would like to see the team keep some of their better players.

Most people expected Raphael Guerreiro to break out this tournament (and he really has), but Cedric has been a revelation in his own right. Save the mistake he made vs. Poland he's been rock solid defensively and I'd say he's been better going forward than Raph has, often making seamless overlaps and playing some great balls 1-2 with Sanches.

Someone might come knocking for him.

Would Leo really play a year outside the Champs League as he comes toward the end of his prime?

To clarify, that was justified, Schweiny is a fucking idiot.

Rizzoli gave Ozil a yellow for arguing the penalty at the end of the half

The irony is that historically it's the French guys who are first to put their arms up

Live blog from The Guardian:

Draxler is booked for a late challenge on Pogba. His legs connect with Pogba’s right ankle much like scissors would with a piece of card. Nasty that. Deserved yellow card. Germany yet to find that awesome possessional groove.
