DG nails it after weird Payet decision
With Cristiano Ronaldo injured and off the pitch, the French capitulated to a goal in extra time after manager Didier Deschamps had incomprehensibly taken off Dimi Payet.
The West Ham midfield genius had been a menace throughout before the second half decision and although they had never been at their best, the Portuguese came more and more into the game as a result of his absence.
And as the French manager made what looked like a fateful decision DG immediately tweeted: “The substitution of Dimitri Payet has given Portugal a chance. dg.”
That was exactly how it turned out as Hammers fans world wide looked on gobsmaccked but delighted that out top man’s tournament had ended injury free.
ClaretandHugh sends a huge congratulations to Dimi on his magnificent performances and none of us can wait to see him back in the claret and blue.
