Day 17: France-Argentina, Uruguay-Portugal.

Pogba pinging those balls into runners left right and centre. Easily one of France's best players.

Such a shame that aside from Lukaku our forward line is turd.
 
With the firepower Argentina have they should just play Messi in a midfield 3 and utilize his passing ability to try and get a hold of things and create opportunities. Sort of like an Iniesta role. Then you can play the likes of Aguero and Higuain up front . At least Messi will be involved in the game that way.
 
France still need a second goal here. Been a few scrambles around their box despite limited Argentina pressure.

Didn't they try that v Croatia?
 
Has Dybala just played poorly with Messi or has he never been given the opportunity? He can’t be worse than Di Maria...
 
I want Otamendi being a dogroll in rugby. That shite deserved being tossed around. Having tattos mean shite if you rolling around like piece of trash can.
 
Really impressed with Pogba so far.
Been a surprisingly decent match, the first ten minutes made me think it might be a bit dull.
 
Argentina need Higuain or Aguero up front ahead of messi. They are dead in attack as Messi plays too deep. He's playing the wrong role
 
France really weak at Full backs. Surprised they didn't put an experienced head in the squad like Digne, Jallet or Kurzawa.
 
France need to score second before Sampaoli notices he has couple of WC strikers on the bench.
 
Mascherano was approaching Gary Neville v West Brom levels of done in the last game. Have they nobody else?
 
Awful game, at least France will put suffering Argentina out of their own misery.
 
Can't see how Argentina will score here.

This will end with this or France will add another.

Yep, Pogba showing what he can do with the right players around him.

He's retiring after tournament so he will continue to start until he drops/they drop.
