Otamendi lol
My stat was wrong it was knock out games, but his goals scored in World cup is 6, 3 vs Nigeria, Iran, Bosnia and Serbia
Poor teams, average record
Otamendi hahahha feck you
Argentina's crosses - be it from corners, free kicks or in play - have been the worst I've seen. And I watch Antonio Valencia every week, and the occasional Phil Jones corner.
Oscar for otamendi
Herrera in his first season was great threading little balls into the box and running into the box to score. He just wants to play so will do whatever the manager asks. Thauvin coming on.
Otamendi what a clown
Cuntamendi
I don't mean to be condescending, but Ligue 1 is a one-team league. He can do whatever he wants, I just think a player like him should play against the best in the world on a weekly basis instead of playing for a team that'll win the league with 20+ points irregardless of him being there.
Otamendi flopping for a penalty after 'contact' from Fazio
Do we get extra time or is it straight to pens?
Sampaoli should just sub off Messi now as a last stunt after all the speculations.
Yep, nausea inducing drivel.
Thauvin on for Mbappe.
This is the right result. Messi is an incredible footballer and yada yada yada but France are the better team and the team I want to see in the semis. I think they'll make the finals.
Why Sampaoli never moves Messi to the right, get Dylaba+ Higuain in the middle?
I don't get it.Meza, Pavon, Di Maria have done feck all for the whole tournament

How the feck is Thauvin getting on the pitch?
Deschamps deserves the sack for that selection alone.
Deschamps deserves the sack for that selection alone.
This is one of the worst Argentina teams I've seen. Besides in attack, they are completely average. No way Messi could have lead them to the title.
Ok make that Valencia
Just think Mourinho handing Fellani that contract and still nothing for Herrera.
That is Mourinho's thinking.
No red tinted glass here, some of Pogba play has been outstanding, some of the best I have seen, but will agree the goals have Mbappe head of him.
Martial couldn't make the squad over thauvin?
Took 4 games but France have finally arrived to the World Cup.
@GifLord Please be a darling and get a gif of Otamendi crying
I think this game is a bit of a red herring. Argentina are a shambles and the perfect side for an explosive team like France to face. It's no coincidence they looked so poor in the group stages then like world beaters when they come up against this lot.
Brazil, Belgium and Spain would all take them, IMO. Maybe even Croatia.
Better players mean nothing if they can't play as a team, simple as. Also their keeper is shite, defense is shite (Otamendi is protected by Pep's tactics), Masch is old, Di Maria is like Rooney nowadays, Aguero is terrible for Argentina. They have 'names' but if you look closer you'll see they are awful.
Again, if the players are so good then why did they only win 1 qualifier game without Messi?
Yep my point on it. Would be a shame if we don't see him play in La Liga or Premier league. I imagine he'll want to do it when he hits 24-25 but PSG obviously don't give up their star attractions easily.
Thauvin has had a great season for Marseille.How the feck is Thauvin getting on the pitch?
Deschamps deserves the sack for that selection alone.
They're a scary team if they've figured it out.
Well, he's been shit himself. Should have been Dybala playing instead of him.
Thauvins had a terrific season for Marseille (who also had a great season). Justified call up.
We need maradona cam now
Mbappe will make sure Neymar wont get a ballon d’or when those 2 retire.
Had a great season. 22 goals and 11 assists in 35 league games. Big part of Marseille making the Europa League final also.
Too late now. Dybala gets to carry the torch for the new generation.
Thauvin has been much better all season long.
Even if Portugal wins the WC and unless Ronaldo plays like Maradona did he still would be behind the hand of god
Argie players
They should have shown that passion in their game.
