Now now, can’t risk Messi missing the final due to bookings, can we?
Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just astonishing from the ref handing out cards to coaches and players on the bench and a random player for a blatant handball but doesn't to the biggest name player.
Mentally not far off.
Otamendi and Romero so wasteful on the ball compared to Martinez
A good coach will put him on the other one.
These two games have been pretty dire! For the most part, anyway.
Final pass was criminal
some of these Arg players...
Argentina opportunity squandered, great pass Messi.
They have more of the "hoof it la" in them
That was awful by De Paul after a perfect pass from Messi gave them 3 running on goal. Ridiculous to overhit the pass there.
What a missed chance
Doesn't really need to, Acuna would get his ass handed to him by Dembele as well
De Jong has offered precious little
Dutch just knocking it about like they’re 4-0 up. Weird.
Oh my, Blind looked like Steve Bono running a bootleg for the KC Chiefs in 1995.
Easily the slowest man out there. A better pass and it's probably 2-0.

Bad pass. Undone such a lovely work by Messi.
Yet some folks over here dream about mediocre Depay, as if he was what we need up front
Literally nobody is dreaming of him. We are in trouble and literally any international CF would help in the short term.
Croatia won’t be worried at all by either of these sides.
Messi's vision... second to none.
That was a really good chance. Lovely pass from Messi to open things up initially.
There is a sense of inertia and lifelessness to a modern LVG team that is very specific and unique to him. I like the guy but I hate his football.
Yes this will be the narrative. In fact if Portugal win the world cup and Ronaldo doesn't play a single minute in the next 3 matches he will still be crowned GOAT. This is how the world works.
I'm just gonna go out and say it. Frenkie De Jong is shite. Slightly better Donny van de Beek.
Holy shit
They were cool in the last wc. No last one again.
Messi is literally their entire attack. None of the rest can create anything.Wonder if they swore at him or something?
Lahoz couldn't be more of a Messi homer if the tried
Messi carrying these blue and white cnuts on his back.
If rashford goes this summer, I hope Sancho has figured out his game by then, because gakpo is not looking like a 75m player.
Messi, just a joy to watch
The gulf in quality between Messi and some of his team mates is pretty fecking wide.
Extreme fair weather merchant seemingly
we have option for another year. Club won't save him
1. Thank feck we don’t have LVG anymore
2. Messi is still the best in the world (honestly)

Close.

Messi is a boss.
You might have a point tbf.
