I am glad Ronaldo did not get the same care. Messi deservs it more. So what that the refs help him a bit? This WC itself is a fraud anyway.
The Final: Argentina vs France
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Wonder if those virus rumours are true? France just look absolutely wrecked.
Worrying? It's relief, not worry.
His dream is within sight, pretty sure he'd play LB right now.Messi tacking back
Was a great call by Scaloni as he could've easily just kept De Paul out on the right with Paredes central.
Di Maria is retiring aswell isn't he so adrenaline of final NT game getting extra 10% out of him. Will probably really feel it by the hour.
Dont tell Southgate and the English press that. They had an amazing performance against the reigning world champions are are the unluckiest team in world cup history.
That too, and a much better manager too.
They were quite passive against Morocco too
Griezmann as well, and he was a player of the tournament contender before this started
We came back from being two goals behind Argentina… if France cant do that than it means the Dutch team is better than France right? 
Lloris was down for about 5Where the feck did they get 7 minutes from?
Need an Mbappe masterclass in the 2nd half.
Lloris down 3-4 minutes, the penalty, two goals, two subs, Messi/Hernandez head injuries.Where the feck did they get 7 minutes from?
France have looked shit for large parts of this tournament, it's just that the other team either hasn't taken advantage of it or France have been bailed out by one of their excellent individuals. Mbappe has been invisible and their best player in this tournament (Griezmann) is having his worst game.
First time in WC history that one team has had 5 pens.
Guess who?
Yep, guessed again.
Guess who?
Yep, guessed again.
Him and Dembele been fairly poor for tthe last 3 games.
Didn't they say two players were out because of the virus?
This was a clear foul on Di Maria.
Time for Mbappe to step up and show he’s a top top player not just another very good one.
He's shite.
7 minutes of added time, have no idea why FIFA are trying to ensure that Argentina get a third before half time.
Disgusting corruption.
Disgusting corruption.
Fixed that for youDont tell Southgate and the English press that. They had an amazing performance against the reigning world champions are are the luckiest team in world cup history.
That was strange decision. Who knows what is happening between those two
Argentina really going to win it. I might have to go on pilgrimage to repair the damage done to my chakra system
What a cheat
I actually think England would have given Argentina a harder test than France have so far. They need to do something quickly.
He's on fire todayMessi tacking back
Yes thank you. It was irony.
Been a few wild two foot slides from some Argentina players
So much to like about this Argentina side now and nothing at all to like about France.
Woeful team, lucky they had such an easy run against Morocco and Southgate.

To state the obvious, France being without Benzema and Pogba is catching up to them.
My memory escapes me but did Argentina get a penalty in every single knockout game ?

France absolutely stink here
Is Souness a pundit today?
"Deschamps made a big mistake with those subs. Taking Giroud off and leaving Pogba on, who's been completely invisible so far! Unhand me! No! I don't want the fuzzy brain pills anymore!"

Argentina has a rep for cheating in World Cups of course. The 6-0 against Peru in 1978. Maradona drug taking in 1994. And this is the most corrupt World Cup ever. So funny business not totally out of the question to my mind. But I'm going with virus right now.
France have to hang in there - just takes one goal to get Argentina nervous. But France look awfully out of sync. Big halftime talk coming up.
He really needs to be told by the bosses.
The ref is massively pro Argentina
Yeah, he hasn’t been his usual dominant self. But he’s not getting much help from Rabiot or Griezmann to be fair.
