  1. Will need to watch it again, I'm being distracted by my 21 month old
  2. He's very lucky he threw the Argentina boy into the keeper which kept him on his feet
  3. France obviously have more experience at this level and won it last, so the pressure is obviously less. But I think Argentina have played better. Canny call it
  4. Talksport? Say no more. He's not as bad as Jason Cundy though. I used to have Talksport on all the time, I remember discovering it and so happy I'd found a football call in channel. Then I realised they just talk nonsense and I was getting angry listening.
  5. Otamendi is 183 according to google, but your point is correct - Between Giroud, Varane, Konate, Tchoumeni, Rabiot, Foffana...France have a huge advantage. Gonna be a right interesting game
  6. Aye, who tf is this Amrabat guy and why is he excellent?
  7. Glad konate is starting, Upanecano is good and has a reputation however Saliba and Konate are more dominant
  8. I appreciate that and I agree that he wins the pen because Lovren fluffed the clearance back into a space where he would have been. I just think that Alvarez had the ball and the keeper made a movement towards the ball and made himself big, which missed the ball and took man who was moving forward, which he's allowed to do. Like, he didn't change his trajectory to move into him and as it was him with the ball, it's kinda his call where he goes. Like I said, I appreciate people have different interpretations.
  9. I see your point and they are very similar. But Lloris isn't in control of that, it's clumsily thigh'd into open space. That really could have gone either way though, but that's my interpretation. Alvarez is in control as he shoots. The keeper doesn't stop, and nor does Alvarez. However, he had control of the ball so the onus is on the keeper to get the ball and avoid the player which he doesn't. That's my 2 cents.
  10. I think we can safely say that this group of players couldn't have done it without him, but he also couldn't do it without them. They all work like animals for him to have absolute freedom. Every other player has been excellent, but he is the one who makes the difference. As @The_jagster says, credit to Scaloni. Remember he's got quality like Martinez and Dybala on the bench, but he recognises that they don't have the qualities needed.
  11. Got to disagree, I thought the ref for the Dutch game was just flipping a coin every time. Consistenly inconsistent and decisions went both ways. Handing out yellows to both teams like sweeties but both teams could have had reds. I disagree because you said every 50-50 which is obviously untrue, I do think Argentina did get slightly more decisions their way however. Similar in the England France game, a couple of the high profile decisions went France's way but there were some blatant fouls that didn't get called the opposite way but nobody will remember that.
  12. Late to the party, but i'm glad it's not just me. Irritating.
  13. I think it's quite a British thing to dislike these kinda teams. Oh, no please and thankyou's followed by tea and crumpets after dispatching that penalty, how awfully rude and ill mannered
  14. This Argentina side have so much industry and tenacity, I can’t believe how effective they are. Croatia didn’t get near the goal really, they have really good, experienced attackers. Molina, De Paul, Enzo and their CB’s have been utterly fantastic. Obviously Messi is the best player you’ll see and Alvarez is so, so good.
  15. Big learning curve for gvardiol who’s clearly very good. He plays like a young defender though, very confident
