Will history repeat itself?

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?

...

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.

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?


>to make this sports related

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

it's also the belgiums complaining

No the Belgians didn't want it because "muh neutrality" when in reality they were spelling their own doom

Holy shit, that is such a perfect metaphor of soccer and WWI.

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

no they did not expect that, they thought they couldn't cross the forest in Ardennes with their tanks

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.
