They have been the better side.
Still, every game they lead 1-0 from a pen.
A dogdy one.

Yes, it's true. I'm close to turning this shit off. I have mentally tuned out. I don't mind losing but not like this. Not like cowards
Di Maria has had his number all game
Watched Argentina play like this against euro champions Italy when they won 3 - 0. Thought it was down to a poor Italy side but really this Argentina team has a certain temp to their football that it’s hard to defend against.
Imo France have still got a chance though.

France haven't started looking shite suddenly, they were equally bad against England too.
Very happy with this happening to France after some of the ridiculously questionable decisions during the England game.
Also worrying if you're a Chelsea fan seeing Jules Kounde struggling against 34 y.o. Dii Maria

Dont tell Southgate and the English press that. They had an amazing performance against the reigning world champions are are the unluckiest team in world cup history.
Maybe the illness in the camp has done more damage than they realised.
No they only produce CB's and DM's
Long way to go. One France goal and Argentina may brick it. But they've been amazing thus far. The midfield, Messi, ADM all class
They'd probably have gotten spanked too but I agree, at least they'd have turned up
He doesnt offer that much outside of his goal scoring.. if they are getting outplayed and need that extra man, he probably had to come off..
Dembele was the easy call.. he is awful
Can France really complain, considering they were blamed for similar incidents in their 1998 World Cup win vs Brazil and the whole debacle about Ronaldo getting poisoned back then.
As much as Tchouamenie has impressed me so far in this tournament, he seems totally overwhelmed today.
Di Maria has ran rings around him like it's 2014.
What does it take to get booked ?
Yes that is how football works.
France have been so poor. No movement with slow and sloppy passes.
Wow, Deschamps isn't fecking around.
Fecking hell Matterface, you’re (meant to be) a COMMENTATOR.
Commentate you tool and stop reeling off facts that no one cares about

Argentina are much better. We werent so bad I guess with our 2-2 
Wow, he’s a fool for not signing that 350k/week contract at United then.
Wasn't that Nike or something?
Yup, Romero not getting booked tonight.
Wtf is Rabiot doing? Just passed it straight out of play!
Maybe, but they’d have 10 men behind the ball camped in their own box clinging on for dear life. The Southgate way!
0-2 after 30 minutes in the WC final without even sniffing the ball … worth desperate measures maybe.
Getting a soft penalty every game while result is 0:0 makes a huge difference. Especially for teams like Argentina which is super strong on counter attacks
Mbappe anonymous
Very disappointing

True. Mbappe can still hurt you if he gets a chance all the same. Won't feel comfortable until Argentina get a third.
Rabiot useless as well.
Nice piece of defending by Messi

Certainly looks that way.
They need to keep their heads. Silly fouls cost then against Netherlands
Messi tacking back
Where the feck did they get 7 minutes from?
You just can't have two players that do feck all defensively in Mbappe AND Giroud. 1 is more than enough. Good subs from Deschamps. They'll be back in it the second half. 1 goal and game on.
The feck are you on about. Having half the first team ill just before the final is about as unlucky as it gets.
Messi back defending - what a player
Understandable, but I personally applaud Deschamps' decisiveness. He had to do something because his team looks like the Titanic right now.
