France play a rope-a-dope strategy, so it’s difficult to tell how good or shite they are. They let teams have the ball and so they can then hit on the counter.
I think a better team than Morocco would've took advantage of it in the semi. Their full backs got roasted a few times and Morocco just couldn't make anything come of it. Then there was the one where the guy was through on goal and just decided to not shoot for some unknown reason
Being shorter than a giant= poor defending?
Goals settle nerves.Sheesh, I'm bricking it big time now. All the confidence I felt yesterday and the days before is gone
Weghorst didn't even beat him in the air. He was miles away from Weghorst in the end.
And I've been telling myself that Messi has to end up with a WC
Di Maria has the 5th most assists in history.
Honestly lost my mind at that. Yeah agree with you, a better team(Or a team with decent striker)could have caused France some real problems. Tbh the funniest outcome would be Argentina repeating the semi final result, so the praise we’ve all given France was just pure luck.I think a better team than Morocco would've took advantage of it in the semi.

I won't wish any Argentinian the best of luck that's for sureAs people who are always struggling in life with our politicians and everything bad we have, I think we deserve to feel a little better for a couple days. I really hope we can get it. But we can't ask for nothing else from the boys, totally proud of them.
We are going o play against a great team. Wish all the french posters here the best of lucks, although you're gonna win more in the future, let us this one please
I don't really go for nationalist of them vs us, but France haven't won a WC in 4 years, Argentina 36 years.I won't wish any Argentinian the best of luck that's for sure
but of course its Frances to lose.There's no way this is an accurate list.
As of April apparently so, other conflicting lists with Pele Cruyff have ADM as 8th top assister

I believe assists weren't really recorded until 2000 or so, so it'd only be since then. To get the stats for anyone before that somebody would have had to go back and watch recordings of every game they ever played (or at least every goal that their team scored).

Stats started being collected in 1966 I think, so pre '66 I dont think they were collected
Giggs is supposed to have around 250, so the list is a bit strange.
Some French fans: FIFA is rigged they want Messi to win a WC.
Didn't he do that by winning the WC in 2018?
Its very hard to find an official top leagues list, I saw the ADM stat on ITV last week
Hes been poor in Serie A for sure
I'm not sure I've seen a single french fan allege that the WC was rigged, it was more fans from teams that were defeated by Argentina.
Aye, it’s a post 2006 list. But worth highlighting that some nerds on Twitter have estimated assist totals of the great players based on analysing the available video footage and particularly match reports then extrapolating to fill in the gaps. Not fully accurate but unlikely to be far off - think they had Puskas, Pele and Cruyff each coming in around 350-420.
