LvG's love for Blind is rather than weird. The whole country had asked him to play 4-3-3 but he persisted.
I guess Netherland is worse without LvG anyway so may be he knows best.

He's just so much better than Ronaldo, isn't he?
Well, it’s not that hard to be better than current Ronaldo. Specially being younger than him.

Messi’s absolute best was better than Ronaldo’s absolute best, but CR7 was better than Messi for many seasons. Now is not even a question, Cristiano is finished, while Messi still delivers the goods.

Argie's coach has realised he can't have more than one passenger in the team. At least Messi is capable of pulling something out of his arse in attack. The likes of Di Maria and Lautaro Martinez are just lazy and useless.

Argentina are always looking better when they have Messi surrounded by hard workers. Their all-stars selections never seem to work.
Not to take away from him but you have to make up for his lack of defensive work rate. It's the same with Ronaldo. Messi is just able to do what he does and produce magic at any moment.

Who is this commentating with Martin Keown? Really annoying energy, somehow overshadowing Keown.

Match is being dominated by a piece of sublime Messi skill and the ref.

This ref loves yellows. Remember him from some European games.

This yellow card friendly ref going to ruin semi final match for one of these teams.
