Weird Di Maria coming off
The Final: Argentina vs France
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This is the defending champions in the finals...
Imagine subbing on the useless Acuna when you still have Lisandro on the bench
Thought that was Portugal.
It boggles my mind how Haaland has consistently proven any doubters wrong and has goal stats at multiple clubs any other striker would die for, yet there are still people claiming that other forwards are "vastly superior" to him. Lunacy
Deschamps still hasn't brought Camavinga or another midfielder on to get some control. Incredible. 25 mins is still a long time, need to make some changes asap. Been horrible so far.
How can you take off Di Maria
Not sure what you’re getting at
God knows, if it was manflu, they’d be lucky to be standing at all.
Probably wasn't fit for 90 minutes
Nearly 3-0 there
Surprised they have taken Di Maria off, he has been one of the best players on the ground
They could bring on the actual Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and we'd not notice much of a down-turn in workrate.
Not their first i imagine.
France won the last WC with Pavard as their RB.
Fatigue I suppose
MacAllister has had quite a tournament
Problems with public transport I read?
France are embarrassing. Not even trying.
Di Maria only performed this well, because he fell out with Van Gaal at United. This Argentina world cup win is as much Van Gaal's as it is Messi's.
He’s a treasure.
Makes no sense!? He's been the best outlet
Argentina's level of aggression is something else entirely.
He is outstanding.
Enzo Fernandez please come to Anfield, my boy.
France look defeated.
They know that he didn't have much more in the tank and didn't want to wait until he's not good anymore. That's actually smart management.
Think it’s like Wembley; corporate seats, where people are attending for the wine and dine, with the game being a secondary concern. Never understood why that section always seems to be opposite the TV cameras, or maybe it’s the same on the opposite stand.
Is he that bad these days? I remember him being really good at the last World Cup but I have probably not watched him since then
Surely sarcasm?
Not a fan of this defensive substitution.
This is as comfortable as I expected it to be
Same could be said for Brazil to be fair
Di Maria has been untouchable in this game. Flawless game. Legendary stuff
Argentina just making sure Mbappe has no space whatsoever. Actually surprised they didn't just put Paredes on.
France offering so little it probably dosen't matter.
The question may have been answered already, but is there an explanation as to why Benzema is not kept as a nuclear option if rumours of him being fit enough to play hold any truth?
Gotta let Messi be MOTM.
Mbappe is getting no service at all
He was great not gonna deny.
