Not sure what taking off Giroud was supposed to achieve when Argentina had showed vulnerabilityto high balls previously.
 
France don’t have that focal point without Giroud.
 
Sorry people but as a Scotsman this is bugging the shit out of me.
There is no one playing called Mac Allister. There is one playing called MacAllister
 
Honestly France did amazing just to get this far as defending champions.

Two of their knock out games were Poland and Morocco so it was a kinder path than 2018.

Will probably put a thread up later but will be interesting how they respond at the euros in 18 months time.

Plenty of injuries but Benzema is already mid 30s, Kante and Pogba are hitting 30 + now so their general spine is actually getting quite old together so think they'll be in transition a bit like so many european nations have been at this tournament.
 
Empty seats at a world cup final must be some sort of record.

I've thought that for many games but isn't it just locals in white robes that make it look like no one is sitting there?

Same as Man. City fans who go dressed to games in blue and blend into the seats...
 
The only other upside to Argentina winning this World Cup other than Licha getting a medal is knowing Piers Morgan will be having a mental breakdown somewhere.
 
I said for City, Haaland will piss off long before Alvarez who will go down as a great for them.
Will Alvarez want to hang around on the bench until Haaland eventually pisses off when he could be a starter for basically any other team in the world?

It’s tough for WC champions to motivate themselves to match the same performances again, not to mention key players aging 4yrs in the mean time. Only other time a WC champion got out of the group stage since turn of the century is Brazil in 06.

Tell that to...uhm... Alexis Mac Allister? Because, oddly enough, that's how he spells his name ;)
