Best time to get that France moneyline if you’re live betting this game.

You think? This ref might as well just start awarding points for France.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Seems like they overturned that offensive foul because of the crowd. Which is ridiculous.
Game, blouses.

France has to accept the fact that they are more than anything, a defensive team. So slow the pace down, get down dirty and grind it out for some 70-70 final scores— i think this is crucial not only this game but against the elite teams.

Chris Paul will have a resurgence assuming he’s healthy. Wemby is indeed an alien.

Wemby is an absolute freak of a specimen and he wants it. Terrifying.
