France, what is happening

It isn't that France haven't turned up. It's that Spain basically rendered them irrelevant. Best performance of the tournament so far, by a distance. Just imposed their game on them. Deschamps also got it wrong, too. They knew two on three in midfield was a risk.

He’s an annoying little twerp but Cucarella has been excellent all tournament!

They’re not getting another penalty short of Yamal getting machine gunned in the box #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

Simon the absolute madman!! #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

If Mbappe isn't it the final, FIFA will really regret booking Hanson for the Final Half Time Show. #FRAESP

Olmo getting cleared out but still doing enough to get the assist

Oh no!

Not seen a French national defence collapse this badly since 14th July 1789.

That was an incredible goal! #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

Well…. #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

Currently Spain are more likely to score than France #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

I've been calling France 'silky caramel football' for many days now but this is like someone left the caramel in the fridge

NO ONE WANTS TO WEAR THE NONCE GLASSES FUCK OFF

Anyway, need one of France or Argentina to do something otherwise it's England vs Spain (Women's World Cup 2023) England vs Spain (Men's Euro 2024) England vs Spain (Women's Euro 2025) England vs Spain (Men's World Cup 2026)

The French look terrified of Yamal #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

Oh that would have been brilliant! #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

Oh shit…

HYDRATION BREAK! #FRASPA #WorldCup2026

Cat? Meet pigeons! #FRASPA #WorkdCup2026

Oh!!!

The teams are feeling each other out still, but I’d say France looks very dangerous in terms of quick-strike ability. They haven’t connected yet but some of the long, piercing passes have to be concerning to the Spanish coach. Ditto the distribution from France’s keeper.

This could be an absolute nail biter or France will blow them away, obvious I know!

I've had a bag of bolts on my desk all week. I've no idea what they're for, but I'm sure it will come to me.

Phil lost the game in the headline 2-0 and was fired the next week

Which technically means the result will be null and void…

Harold and Maude Few films make such a bold statement as Harold and Maude. The opening scene shows a young man hanging from a noose in his family’s luxurious parlor, while his mother walks by, not shocked but somewhat annoyed... Full article: franksfilmreview.com/2026/06/03/h...

rip sam neill, event horizon still scares the shit out of me

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

1986 #OnThisDay July 13, Nigel Mansell secured a popular home victory at the 1986 British GP at Brands Hatch, but the day was overshadowed by a severe pile-up. The accident began when Thierry Boutsen lost control of his Arrows, causing Jacques Laffite to crash head-on into a barrier. #f1 #formula1

One of the good ones... So reliable, so versatile, you're legacy of work over the decades lives on. RIP Sam Neill #filmsky 📽

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially
