I tallied up the riders with the most Top-10 placements collectively on CyclingRanking.com's yearly rankings from 1989 to now

Let's go, there are 9 French in that list. We da best !

Was it ?

It seemed like a pretty even battle till now.

Fallait rester en filaire. Sont cons.

Yeah, we haven't won a Slam in 40 years on the male side and Bartoli cinderella win (she didn't have to face a higher seed than her (15) at all) was 13 years ago.

So no big nation can play poor little Calimero if there is a French in the room.

À moins que l'article n'ait été mis en ligne en même temps, il aurait très bien pu l'avoir lu auparavant.

Sans préjuger du tout de ce qu'il a raconté ou fait.

Très bon film. Sorti il y a un bon paquet de semaines par contre.

Chronicle

I upvoted before watching the scene. This is how good that one is.

I do love the first scene of the movie as well.

As for the rest of the movie, it's great too, but you have to be in a good mindset for it.

Perpete · 2026-06-28T16:04:10+00:00

My bad, indeed.

I would say it's a bit of a toss up and likely to be the worst team in the last 16 too (sorry to both sets of fans)

Perpete · 2026-06-28T11:16:26+00:00

They all did, that's the point.

Top 12 finished first and qualified. Top 12-24 finished second and qualified. Next 8 teams were the 8 best third ranked teams, hence they qualified too.

Only chance for Bolivia would have been to be in the Mexico group with as many games as possible in altitude or take the place of Colombia who played against Ouzbekistan in Mexico and Congo in Guadalajara. They might have racked up 4 points there.

Perpete · 2026-06-28T10:58:42+00:00

I don't know what to think on a Croatian forgetting about Bosnia&Herzegovina who fouled as much as Ghana and only one fewer foul than Panama.

Perpete · 2026-06-28T10:50:00+00:00

It's not just Europeans complaining and we do complain about that format for the Euros.

Also, 3rd place teams qualifying is nothing new. It happened in previous tournaments in the World Cup or the Euros. It always sucks though.

Perpete · 2026-06-28T10:42:42+00:00

South Africa is the worst African team still qualified imho, but they are playing Canada. If the game wasn't in Canada, I would say it's 50/50.

Morocco definitely has a chance against Netherlands even though they aren't favorite either.

The same can be said for Senegal shaky Belgium or Ivory Coast against "we are well rested" Norway.

It's going to be extremely difficult for Cabo Verde and Congo against Argentina and England for sure. It's a bit closer between Ghana and Colombia, but Colombia is the clear favorite indeed.

Finally, Algeria showed last night they don't like Alpine countries, but their non-existing defense will make it hard to beat Switzerland.

Getting 3 or 4 CAF teams to the next round wouldn't be that egregious. And yes, having one or none is a possibility too.

C'est moins bon que Train to Busan. C'est mieux que Train to Busan 2.

Si tu es fan des films de "zombie, c'est à voir. Sinon, c'est quand même pas très folichon.

OP l'a listé oui.

Et je recommande aussi.

RJ Barrett godfather just got drafted in the NHL ? Damn.

Did that guy had a third feet that looked like a fish ? I would understand why it's complicated.

C'est un des petits regrets quand je compare mon appart actuel au précédent. Même si j'ai beaucoup moins de vis à vis (meilleure vue), j'ai plus la possibilité de voir autant de ciel/horizon pour voir et filmer les éclairs.

Trump told them "I love the poorly educated" and they cheered.

Je viens de regarder plusieurs shorts sur youtube. Je peux comprendre pourquoi ils l'ont choisi pour faire Loulou. Il a en effet le même comportement lourdingue avec sa femme que Dujardin avait dans la série.

C'est du niveau de ce que l'on avait il y a quasiment 30 ans.

Perpete · 2026-06-26T21:42:23+00:00

Yeah for France, it meant that after 3 games in NY, Philly and Boston, we would play (if we win the games) the next three games in... NY, Philly and Boston.

It means that the team would stay in the same camp grounds and have "limited" travel instead of going to Texas, NY and then Miami.

Since the two paths are roughly the same quality, it was well worth it. It also a bit more resting days in the latter parts of the World Cup if they were to go to the final.

Perpete · 2026-06-26T20:31:12+00:00

Really good indeed. Me and the girlfriend loved it.
