## Resource

And guess what? France got absolutely stuffed last night. Marcus, Luke and Jim gather themselves after a truly devastating display from the Spanish (feat. the devastatingly sexy Ferran Torres) which sent France's superstars packing. But why did France look so clueless? What was Didier Deschamps doing? Marcus wonders why he didn't send on France's certified big man, while Luke goes full Roy Keane on the calamitous Lucas Digne. Elsewhere, Erling Haaland brings home some taxidermied geezers and don't ask anything about Jim's dungeon, alright? ALRIGHT!
