Will history repeat itself?

I think it's going to be as boring as WW1 with 120 minutes of 0-0 wankery until """French""" score on penalties
>Germany going around a thick black line
What could it mean?
>>69331494
It's gonna be like WW1
Quick Germany gains, it may look like France is about to collapse early, but the French will bounce back and we'll see a stalemate until it goes into PK's, where France will win

Maginot jokes are just too easy.
>>69331876
To be fair it would be a bit awkward if they built it all along the Belgian border too
>Hey France. Why are we on this side of the wall?
Is Maginot line one of the most stupid military structures of all time?

France wins 2:1 in OT

I think the French thought the Germans couldn't pass through the Ardennes, so they just said "fuck it" when building defenses on the Belgian border
>>69332004
it's also the belgiums complaining
>>69332004
No the Belgians didn't want it because "muh neutrality" when in reality they were spelling their own doom
>>69331637
Holy shit, that is such a perfect metaphor of soccer and WWI.
>>69331993
No, Maginot line is one of the best fortification ever made, but they were stupid to think the germans would run in front of the defences and not flank them...

>but they were stupid to think the germans would run in front of the defences and not flank them
they did not think that
they literally expected them to flank it
do you know so little of your own history
>>69332586
no they did not expect that, they thought they couldn't cross the forest in Ardennes with their tanks
>>69332765
>>69332586
You're both right. They expected them to flank it—just not through the Ardennes.

you mean a comeback from the english lads?
Your evil commie "allies" are gonna zerg rush the stadium?

Back in the day, they thought they didn´t need to. Belgium was well-protected by positions like the Fort Eben-Emael, which was the biggest fortress of it´s time as well as supposedly inpenetrable.
Then the Wehrmacht landed ontop of it and used chaped charges to BTFO it.
Essentially, static defenses in the second half of the twentieth century was a stupid idea, and it took a world war for people to realize it.
