OT baby.

This will sound stupid, but I am a big Heurtel fan, been for years, I feel he is SO underrated.
As an inspiring writer, one of the characters in a fantasy thing I am writing, is losely based of Thomas Heurtel :lol: I still hope Italy wins though, great game, Fonteccio chocked.

Italy basically already won but Fontecchio said, nope... That was a brutal sequence from him.

Glad we won't see anymore of that annoying ass coach.

Italy lost that one big time

Loving the semis match ups though. Should be two cracking games

Great win for France. Italy was mentally shot in the end. Fontecchio could have iced the game, but failed to do so. Heurtel was head and shoulders above everyone else down the stretch of the game.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Sure, but did you see those things in the last minutes ? c'mon, what a SHAME.

And I'm usually not a fan of refs's blaming.

He argues with refs on every single call, almost like he doesn't understand the rules of the game. The one ref wasn't even willing to shake his hand cause he had heard enough.
