Don’t know why people are surprised by this French performance. They were second best against England and for long stretches against Morocco. I never bought the “they have another gear” rhetoric.
The Final: Argentina vs France
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This game is showing that whilst Messi will get most of (and at least deserves some) the limelight, this is a very very good Argentina side.
Felt like a short half time break.
Mbappé will never be able to carry or organize a game like Messi (and will never be as good as Messi but that's another story). Any person thikink that is foolish.
Has France had a single shot on goal? They look so bad
You don't have to wait for too long to see women remaining tough as nails and delivering a show worthy of what you like of old school football on the international stage. The Women's World Cup starts in next July.
Hurry up and score two more Argentina.
Then we can get Lisandro on.
Then we can get Lisandro on.
He's not turned up against decent sides.
I think Argentina have just taken their foot off the gas. France being lulled into a false sense of security, wouldn’t surprise me if the Argentinian third arrived soon.
Nice from ADM. good tackle on Messi.
Has Rabiot done ANYTHING this game? Anything at all? Insanely overrated player.
You think people just bounce straight back to 100% after having a virus / flu? It’s going to be impacting those guys today too.

Di Maria on a riot
Kounde getting embarrassed out there
Messi took it too easy there. He could have buried that
There goes that French fan with their whistle when Argentina break.
Or maybe it’s Piers.

Closer to 3-0 than 2-1
He’ll still be gutted though, had they come up against England in the semi’s they’d have had a great shot at reaching the final!
Kounde has been diabolical. Is there no one to bring off the bench for him?
Messi to get another goal, this time a worldy, and do Ronaldo's celebration?
Not seeing empty seats, but there are loads of blokes in white.
Just saved a goal I reckon.
Not if it's manflu
di Maria motm.
Kounde's going to have nightmare about Di Maria. Shades of Memphis vs that danish fullback
Why is the stadium half empty?
Did the French leave?

They are very on point with their quick passing game, and very bold forward passing.
Should be yellow carded for that.
Plays for City

And to think that he fecked Argentina with 2 sublime goals just 4 years ago.
Di Maria has been brilliant.
this game sort of sums up the tournament for me. threatens to be brilliant but just sort of peters out
He’s been shit but awkward timing for this post given he might have just saved a goal!
Both the french full backs have been exposed today
They are giving the impossible a proper go so far.
France just doesn’t know how to stop so maria
None
There were plenty at the start of half. Looks like people getting their prawn sandwiches took a while.
