French fans cannot but think about the conclusion of the 2016 Euro between host country France and Portugal. French players may have thought to have a great advantage when Ronaldo hurt himself and left the game…but the Portuguese scored during extra time and eventually won.

And Senegalese leader Sadio Mane is trying to save the final all by himself even as his team is being cheated. What a guy!

It seems to me that the ref managed the small exploit of committing TWO mistakes in a row and completely destroyed the fairness of that final.
Senegal can legitimately feel cheated.

Thanks for sharing
Was Lund the brother who was running Mount Vernon as GW led the Continental Army ?
Am I right to think that Mrs. W owned more slaves than GW ?
Thanks again
