The Final: Argentina vs France

[krazyrobus]

FFS, Varane, don't you dare get injured.

 

[RoadTrip]

Not even an attempt on goal

Wow.

 

[RopersReturn]

This is a scrappy game.

 

[kouroux]

Kounde's going to have nightmare about Di Maria. Shades of Memphis vs that danish fullback

Or Dalot vs that Villarreal winger

 

[FootballHQ]

Kounde has been diabolical. Is there no one to bring off the bench for him?

Pavard but he's miles off form these days apparently.

 

[ExoduS]

I think it was a pen but it was one of those where Di Maria waited for Dembele to catch him, did him on the wing, slowed down and waited for contact. Unsporting by DiMaria, really stupid by Dembele but a pen for me.

If player stops for you to catch up get in front of him don't run directly behind him. Dembele fecked up.

 

[Lyng]

di Maria motm.

Rotm surely

 

[TheReligion]

France have totally capitulated here. So embarrassing. Not even an attempt at goal 1 hour in. No one looks interested!

 

[Telsim]

He’s been shit but awkward timing for this post given he might have just saved a goal!

I'm a bit behind.

Has Mbappe done anything this game?

Pavard who's terrible as well... the right back position really is a problem for France.

There is Benjamin Pavard, but the old fool of a manager allegedly has some grudge against him since the Australia game.

 

[lex talionis]

The match had to go on as scheduled, but what a shame France were ravaged by a virus and a dodgy pk given.

At this point, we’re just watching shit football until the final whistle.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Not seeing empty seats, but there are loads of blokes in white.

I think people were just late getting back from halftime. There were loads of empty seats in a couple of sections for five or six minutes.

 

[hellhunter]

Or Dalot vs that Villarreal winger

That never happened

 

[Skills]

Almost through again

 

[Sweet Square]

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!

Agree.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Great play again. Argentina very unlucky to not have at least 1 more goal

 

[Mercurial]

You have a point, could even be argued they were fortunate to get past England. That said I thought the France block would be hard to get through. Amazed how poor they’ve been defensively.

England choked it really. Was theirs for the taking.

We can categorically answer that with a big fat no

 

[MrMarcello]

French look slow as feck out there.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

France need a Rummenigge type sub … if only they had a great forward they could introduce?

 

[TheReligion]

Hard to think this is the World Cup final ffs

Come on France show something at least?!

 

[Massive Spanner]

This isn’t right. I refuse to believe France could be this lacklustre in a final. The virus must have fecked them up.

 

[Anustart89]

That could've been a pen IMO.

 

[duffer]

No pace from Mac All Is Ter

 

[Mercurial]

France need a Rummenigge type sub … if only they had a great forward they could introduce?

 

[ExoduS]

That was maybe a penalty also!?

 

[Mike Smalling]

Griezmann has been pretty invisible hasn't he?

 

[Guy Incognito]

This isn’t right. I refuse to believe France could be this lacklustre in a final. The virus must have fecked them up.

1998 Ronaldo vibes.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Messi's passing is amazing

 

[LordSpud]

French heads well and truly dropped. They've been shocking.

 

[Hammondo]

Why is the stadium half empty?

Did the French leave?

They surrended.

 

[JuveGER]

Argentina have been brilliant. Very assured on the ball and playing with a lot of effort. Will leave every drop of energy on the pitch. What you would expect in a final.

 

[VorZakone]

Impressed by the cohesiveness from this Argentina team. Everyone knows what to do.

 

[kouroux]

That never happened

Donjuma or Danjuma. I had nightmares that game

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

There were plenty at the start of half. Looks like people getting their prawn sandwiches took a while.

 

[Bepi]

He is a DM, I do not know what people are really wanting from him?

 

[General_Elegancia]

MacAllister what a player, lovely and lovely

 

[avgp_1]

That's a top performance from Di Maria

 

[Drifter]

Slicing through France's defense at the moment
