Cheers... I'll drink to that...

Where can you find this kind of glass ? (or is pic photoshopped)
It's so sunny and hot here today. I could drink today such a glass of beer (normal alcoholpercentage) "ad fundum".
If somebody knows where you can get such a glass , do PM me !!!!! I would buy several of them, certainly if Belgium would win the tournament.

As many know Belgian beer is of the best of world and has an enormous amount of breweries.. A special kind of beers (Trappist-beers, with high alcoholpercentage)) is only made by (male) MONKS in several Abbeys.
For several years 1 of the beers of the Abbey in West-Vleteren, "THE WEST-VLETEREN XII (12)" made in the abbey of West-Vleteren in the province of (West-)Flanders, Belgium, is 1st on the list on ratebeer.com. (And now 2nd as I can see). Do be carefull the beer has 10% alcohol in it.
It's very scarce and hard to find. (don't confuse this one with the "Westmalle" beer from te province of Antwerp).

Goal Argentina 4-3 France and it getting ugly now cards all around.

 

[equity78]

Final 4-3 Argentina had a chance with 10 seconds left.

 

[BRANDERX]

France were behind 1-2 & went on to win 4-3 & that is how they earned a spot in the quarter finals.

Great match..

Argentina's team also had an advantage, Half of Argentina was in the stadium.

Congrats France.

Messi : " For us CM will tru start right now " yeh right with a plane back home
Next i hope will be Ronaldo with his Portugal go a plane & back home
Personal like: Brasil , Belgium, Uruguay, England & Colombia ( i don't know how much force they have in next phases) & France

Pavard's goal was magnificent !

Argentina had no sufficient defense against Mbappe....

You underrated France.You missed one ,more to go.

Namepros member @mckennaronnie had the correct score 4-3 hit a 80 - 1 bet.

 

[wwwulff]

Great match and a good start to the knockout matches - Congratulations France

 

[Skyvisum]

Man of the match is Mbappe.He used his speed and gave the Argentina defense a headache .Way to go France .

 

[equity78]

You underrated France.You missed one ,more to go.

I agree France has the far superior team, Messi had little help most of the tournament. And you see when Pogba has the chance to be Pogba not like how he is restricted at Manchester United, he is such a dynamic player.

 

[Isac]

I also thought Argentina will win but France has very quality players like Pogba, Mbappe with strong defense

Problem with Argentina is they expect Messi to do everything.This is why they can't play like a team .I remember when they used to play and counter but now it's so boring to watch them play .France play like a team ,they move the ball around and then attack.

Exactly

 

[TCK]

All I can say is: France. Wow wow wow. The long passes, the accuracy, the speed. Well done.

P.S. I wouldn't knock Argentina though. They had 3 very nice goals of their own and only lost by 1. Difference was the penalty.

 

[wwwulff]

WOW - Great goal Uruguay

 

[BRANDERX]

WOW - Great goal Uruguay

indeed..

Did he just score with his face/nose? haha

but great goal

 

[wwwulff]

his face/nose?

I did´t see it first but just saw it in slow and it looks like a face/nose goal

 

[BRANDERX]

Portugal equalizes. nice goal.

game on!!

 

[wwwulff]

2-1 Uruguay - Come on Portugal

 

[BRANDERX]

2-1 Uruguay - Come on Portugal

They couldn't get the equalizer again!!

Uruguay was the better team & Cavani was great.

Congrats Uruguay!!

Two of the greatest players are leaving on the same day.. Messi & Ronaldo

I am sure they did all they could..

Great matches today..
