Day 17: France-Argentina, Uruguay-Portugal.

[Irrational.]

Rojo has been subbed off

Not surprising. Surprised Mascherano stays on.

 

[Zehner]

I have to admit, I think they are better off if Messi drops deep. They are almost non-existant in the final third if he stays up front. Barely sees any balls. Higuain and Dybala up front fed by Messi is better than Messi up front fed by nobody.

 

[RedSky]

Rojo

 

[Ekeke]

France are so passive. There's no energy or drive in them it seems. They look dangerous on the counter-attack tbf, but they don't grab the game by the scruff of the neck. Argentina are here for the taking.

Thats exactly what Mbappe has been doing

 

[OutlawGER]

I think France is playing shit if you consider their player material (yes i know, Germany was even worse, thx). They let Argentina play the game and just try to defend and counter like a massive underdog. Obviously more exciting to watch, but Argentina is the better team so far in my opinion.

 

[FootballHQ]

Fazio is the slowest player on earth

Sorry the Sampaoli routlette wheel of chaos came up with his number this time.

 

[GifLord]

@GifLord , have a video of possible foul on Messi for a penalty? They had couple of replays minutes after the event, and really looked Griezmann fouled him.

 

[kouroux]

You could see Argentina were slowly getting into the game. Should have been pushing for a second instead of staying casual. Still expect you lot to go through.

I hope so. This ain't the group stages, time to step up and show your cojones

 

[Offside]

If it goes to pens will it be ABBA or normal?

 

[Ekeke]

Rojo off

 

[Jim Beam]

both teams were rubbish

If that shot from DiMaria didn't go in, that would be one of the worst 45 minutes of any team in this WC. Messi is literally walking, Pavon can't cross and the defence is all over the place every time the ball is anywhere near the penalty area.

France should be disappointing not being out of reach already, considering they at least look like a team.

 

[pjaya]

Rojo substitutes with fazio?

 

[FootballHQ]

So if Mascherano for Biglia seems an obvious other sub only one of Dybala, Aguero or Higuain is being used today.

So probably Meza on.

 

[RedIke]

I completey forgot he even played for United.

It was one of those instances when a player you liked for a long time and always wished he played for United actually came. It happened, then he fecked off at the end of the season.

 

[Irrational.]

ADM finally wakes up.

 

[Ban]

Based on what?

This team should be bossing it. Yet they still don't convince me.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Di Maria is awesome.

 

[tenpoless]

The earth turns faster than Fazio.

 

[FootballHQ]

Pavard is real weak link in this team.

Shame Sagna seemed to want to take half the season off, he's probably still good enough to be their RB.

 

[kouroux]

ADM's shirt is torn

 

[RW2]

If it goes to pens will it be ABBA or normal?

Winner takes it all.

 

[Jim Beam]

Argentina have these dangerous game changers. Our team is made of many cowards. We had to for the kill and revert to parking le bus

Yeah, probably. The game is now wide open.

 

[GifLord]

lol

 

[Irrational.]

 

[Fraud]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Schneckerl]

Fazio? He's isn't that pacey to put it mildy

 

[Drawfull]

 

[FootballHQ]

Is that offside?

 

[Guy Incognito]

They'll win it.

You just know they're gonna be in the final after that poor group stage...

 

[spwd]

Lucky feckers

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Now Argentina are leading.

 

[Charles Miller]

France

 

[AndyJ1985]

Haha fluky as feck

 

[pjaya]

Haha france

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Wow 2-1 Argentina.

 

[peridigm]

Var?

 

[Nick7]

Argentina really do not deserve to be leading

 

[pseudo_canadian]

France

 

[kouroux]

Oh ffs

 

[El Zoido]

Danny Murphy is trying really hard not to keep saying “Dia Maria”.

 

[do.ob]

Argentina will win the WC!

 

[Ban]

Argentina is taking this

 

[Buchan]

GET IN!
