France

Seems like yesterday

   

Tomorrow’s the 27th June and France are playing Spain in the knockout stages of the World Cup. I wonder if there are any superstitious players on the team who think the date’s a good omen.

It’s certainly the date of one of the best days in French football history, 27th June 1984, when they beat Spain 2-0 in the final of the European Championships in Paris, the high point for Michel Platini and his generation in the national team.

Platini had a great championship for France, scoring in every game, nine in total. A 2-0 win against Spain on Tuesday night would be a nice way to celebrate the anniversary.

  • Roland

    Enjoy your sweet memories while you may, because you’ll wish you could forget tomorrow.

    Hasta mañana, mi amigos.

  • shuai

    Ready to rumble!! hope it ‘ll be a great match!!

    [sinic mode] ;) We know we have to score at least 2 goals coz referee always steal one by match!!

    Allez la france! Il est temps de nous faire zizir!

  • shuai

    Roland : hope for both the referee won’t be drunk so football could talk on the field!!

    Beware da niggaz team!!;)

  • VERON

    I have a strong feeling that FRANCE will beat SPAIN badly…Event though SPAIN is playing really well…

    FRANCE 3-1 SPAIN

  • EagleEye

    France is showing now how it would be impossible for them to REALLY win the world cup. The 98 final was a CLEAR set up. It was as if brazil didn´t enter the field. They didn´t play that game. Brazil should now be chasing their 7th star.

  • SES

    It would be quite controversial if France pulled off an upset against Spain. Here’s hoping that Zindane exits gracefully. :P

  • znouznou

    lol
    vive la france but i thinks spain win

  • Toni

    As an outsider, I would like to see Spain thru because they have been playing the more exciting football, but on the other hand, I would like to see France vs. Brazil for a reply of 98…my bet is on Spain tho.

  • rad|x

    Guys, I wish you the best of luck in your game vs Spain. I really think you can beat the crap out of those self loving bastards :)

  • Haarf

    Self loving bastards ? I didn’t know Spain meets USA…

  • Haarf

    Sorry for my previous post, bad wake-up ;-)

  • shuai

    Eagleeye: You can’t say France was 98′champion coz brazil played shit.
    As I know, WC is not just a final. And I hope that for Spain.Coz If is, Spain never won a thing.

  • minhoca

    France is still a country? I’ve read about them in history books of course… but haven’t heard anything about them lately…except something about ‘youths’ burning cars or some such… too bad they don’t speak Spanish or they would know how to say VIVA LA RECONQUISTA!

    when USA will be able to go to the final, they will found out there is no such thing like set up game. the winner is the one who win the game. I will pass around this comment to my grand children when USA win in 2030.

    [...] 15 minutes to go: Amazingly, Spain and France have never met in the World Cup before, but they did meet on this date in 1984 and it was a glorious day for the French. Will we see history repeated? Chris O over on the France team blog makes the case for Zidane starting on the bench. This will never happen, of course, but it’s an interesting thought. Is there a point where he becomes a liability? [...]

  • dahlia graham

    Good call, Veron!

    Eagleeye – you may as well go back to American football. You obviously don’t know anything about soccer, despite your big mouth.

    That was a lovely game. Allez les Bleus!
