Smallen Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just now, enigmatic said: Their central defenders have made some very good interventions and there's no doubt they've got another gear in terms of attacking and pressing to go to. But they've also had some proper letoffs they will have to play much, much better against Argentina than they did today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XuluBak Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The less said about their midfield (and Dembele) the better, but France's backline have been quite good tonight. Konate, Kounde, and Varane have all saved an almost certain goal. Lloris done his part too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Clarity Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I don't think it's fair to characterise France as garbage. They weren't great, but they took the lead and just decided to try to keep hold of that lead. It's disappointing to see teams slip into second gear, but that's how Deschamps sets out his team to do.

GunmaN1905 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 France obviously has weaknesses, but Argentina's defense has been just as dodgy in most matches. And don't forget one thing, Argentina doesn't have anyone over 180cm except for Romero, French will definitely make most of set-pieces. Should be a great match.

The_jagster Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Morocco just showing the limits of being hard working but not having great forwards. Bend don't break is a reasonable summation of that, have lots of nervy moments but the better chances overall. Felt Morocco really had the upper hand until about 65/70 minutes then fell away a bit. France didn't try the quick counters but were slowing it down instead, presumably because they kept losing it. I think the final could be quite even, both finalists have periods where they don't look great but have moments where key players make the difference.

Otamendi is 183 according to google, but your point is correct - Between Giroud, Varane, Konate, Tchoumeni, Rabiot, Foffana...France have a huge advantage.

caragreg Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 It's very hard but I don't think it looks like luck at this level, especially since 2016. 1 Nations League, 1 Euro final, 2 World Cup finals. No, it's not chance! France has an exceptional breeding ground because let's not forget that in this semi-final, only Lloris, Varane, Griezmann and Mbappe should start in our best team. Maignan, Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, Pavard, Pogba, Kante, Rabiot, NKunku, Benzema are absent ! It's exceptionnal ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Ah, unlucky Morocco If only they had more confidence in themselves and actually had a shot at goal once in a while they probably would have won that.

Their fans have been absolutely brilliant and I’m glad they lasted as long as they did. Could have, rather than would have. France got their goal and largely sat back for most of the game. They did the same against England. That's how they play under Deschamps. They look to protect a one goal lead rather than get a two goal lead. If Morocco had equalised they'd have made more of an effort to get their second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

decapitated Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63983728 Quote A 14-year-old boy has been run over and killed in the southern French city of Montpellier shortly after France's World Cup semi-final victory over Morocco. Authorities said he was struck by a car after the match and then died in hospital. Images on social media showed a car draped in a French tricolour surrounded by people who then grabbed the flag. The driver then appeared to panic, accelerating into two teenagers. As he turned his car around and sped off, the 14-year-old was hit and went into cardiac arrest.

yann Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Il y a 19 heures, Gricehead a dit : Full on warfare in Montpellier between Morocco and French fans last night. Far right activists have been arrested there. Lots of them in paris, nice montpellier or lyon where only active to start hostilities. 40 of them arrested in Paris with weapons. Seems it's now a way for them to gain political power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
