Football 2018 FIFA World Cup

Argentina facing France next. Guess I'll suffer some more...

Argentina made it through, with how much they struggled to get through this stage these guys aren't making it past the Round of 16
But I am at least happy Messi finally scored something in the World Cup

They play France, I think. Well, Argentina hasn't been impressive, but France hasn't wowed me much either. Plus their group was pretty damn soft.

True, watch France vs Argentina go goalless and then Messi scores in the 5th minute of a 4 minute extra time extension....

Maradona is suck a dick lol

It's funny how the ref ignored Mascherano being all bloody for like 20+ mins.

Fuk it

I know it's irrational, but much of my dislike for Argentina comes from Maradona being such a dick and still national hero.

I can relate '-' he represents everything that is wrong in this country/world.

He almost had an attack after the game btw, they had to drag him out of the stands.

Argentina vs France would be a tough one to call.

They certainly have what it takes to beat France, but, with the silly mistakes they're making at the back, we can expect France to be more Brutal than the Nigerians.

Imo our run ends against them, mostly wanted us to get out of groups as that would be shameful lol.

I agree with what Gary said but tbh every time someone approaches the Argie defense I feel my heart in my mouth. Hardy said that's one of the best defenses they had but Jesus Christ... feels like a deserted beach... I imagine that France would have a lot of fun with that situation.

Attack as in heart attack? Or he got in a fight?

Lol, Indeed.

It would be far too shameful.

I mean, I only really saw the second half but Argentina has looked rather disconnected for most of this tournament. They looked better up front in the clutch but idk

Heart attack or something like that. At the very least he was fainting.

They were impressive in the first half, and probably burned a lot of stamina.
In the second half, they were disjointed most of the time.

Messi's team talk at the start of the second half was particularly interesting to see.
Wish someone can post what he said to the team.

 

[Lambu]

Argentina's defence was definitely better this match, they were more focused everytime they lost the ball... they lost that energy in the second half but still fought for the ball, they had "garra" like we say here.

Now defending against Nigeria is not the same as defending against France, a team pretty similar to Croatia by the way they play, and the frenchies haven't shown all they can do yet.

To me the problem with Argentina has always been that relies to Messi way too much. Even people want Argentina to win because of him, the team had good players like Di Maria who now lost a lot of quality lmao.

France is in another level, we played a better game today but also let the nerves domine us for a long moment. If Argentina makes a good game against France gotta change my mind, but I think this victory won't last much

Yup, France seems to be the favorites but I expect a really tough match.

 

[Arjuna]

50-50 match in my opinion.
