Dearie me, that virus really wrecked France huh. Only one team on the pitch so far. Loving this final.
By FligureSkatingFlan Go To PostJust because I don’t care enough to know you very well doesn’t mean I don’t care to make a random, pointless insult.
Cool, stop responding
I, for one, am simply glad to see this seemingly interminable international break come to an end.
Edit: The timing. 😂

That Messi script of finally getting the final trophy in his cabinet is too alluring.
France got nothing so far.

Delighted with this so far, and was probably the cynical pessimist in me that thought France would win this. They simply aren’t the same side as four years ago; that’s largely down to injuries, unfortunately, but Rabiot-Tchouameni-Dembele is not Pogba-Kante-Matuidi. They got dominated by England and Morocco there, and this is such a comedown from turning Modric and Rakitic into passengers in 2018. Being completely outfought in midfield. Absolutely not the game for France to have some passengers out there because of both illness and quality.
Di Maria has obviously been the stand out - I expected a defensive shuttling mode a la his games under Mou at Madrid rather than out-Mbappeing Mbappe, but I like it! - but lots of outstanding performances in this Argentina side so far, chiefly Mac Allister (Brighton and Villa players in the World Cup final!) and Messi, who has been pretty fucking wonderful. Absolutely understood Kounde and Dembele were there for the taking, and has spread a few balls out to the left that have made me chuckle.

Piguain and Cuntgero not here to ruin the glory for Messi.
He’s so happy he’s got energy to press all half.

Oh, and Mbappe vs Messi here is proving the difference between a great goalscorer and someone who will down as a great of his generation, and the greatest player of all time.
Mbappe is incredible, but he can’t carry a team. Needed Griezmann and Giroud to have stunners too, and ultimately isn’t at the hub enough of his team’s play to have influence otherwise.

scaloni has done a job, lads.
think argentina could've done more after their second goal, though. kinda looked like they were ready to give up control to france.

As long as they maintain that midfield pressure, this is over.
Just put a shift for 45 minutes and it's yours.

By bud Go To Posti don't see how this isn't a penalty.
dembele touches him.
it's soft, but it's a penalty.
It’s very very soft but it’s a pen, yeah. Dembele a fucking idiot for putting himself in that position.
By Punished Go To PostKeane has a great moustache. Expect nothing less.
Better than Dembele’s

By Killer7 Go To PostArgentina playing like a good Atletico Madrid teamMakes you wonder how El Cholo has managed to have a shit run this year.
By bud Go To Postmessi's control and pass in that counter subhanallahThese Messi highlights. Mashallah
what a counter
By Killer7 Go To PostThis Argentina manager wasn't even starting Fernandez at the start of the tournament.
Or Alvarez. Made the right decisions and seen what his best side is.
Unless Giroo was absolutely not ready, wouldn’t have subbed him.
Not many to cross for in this France setup.

By Killer7 Go To PostNo more GOAT talks after this.Been the case for years. You know who fans won’t be quiet.
By Killer7 Go To PostNo more GOAT talks after this.If Messi winning this would make “GOAT” a perma-ban worthy term, then I hope he scores a double hat-trick.

This is legitimately the worst year of Ronaldo's career in more way than one.
