Very un-Southgate move.
What the fuck is that for a substitution? This could have eight goals in it now.
Thuram to score the winner.
The Ball must never be questioned.
Tchouameni should go at half time as well, if they have any sort of midfielder on the bench.
Them subs are tragic. Not even bothering to change the formation. Might get lucky but the midfield is still gonna get trampled
Bumping it again. When I first posted the second goal happened and Ben's bump was at the bottom of the last page.Quote:

There’s going to be plenty of needle late doors in this one. :drool:

It's probably just a dumb Qatari vanity move. Their super special World Cup needs a special ball for the special games at the end.

The Al Hilm, with a gold base design and triangular pattern, pays tribute to the deserts surrounding the host nation’s capital city, Doha, FIFA said in a statement.
Rodrigo De Paul is a horrible, nasty bastard and unfortunately is exactly what Argentina have needed for a while.
Absolute shithouses these Argies. :D
When did they move the final to Buenos Aires?
France badly need to find a goal asap, put some more jeopardy in the game. It's just been pathetic and weak from them so far.
Did I hear correctly that Argentina has been given five penalties this tournament? The state of the modern game is tragic.
If they were penalties they were penalties, not some big conspiracy.Quote:

Going that hard for a fucking penalty.
I am not talking about conspiracies, I am talking about how every minor contact is given as a penalty. In summary: fuck VAR.
And that was definitely a dive from Di Maria. What do you have video for if you are not going to correct those decisions?
Get Allan Saint-Maximin on.
Yeah sorry I copped that after. There’s a lot of it about.Quote:

With the South Americans you have to remember this is literally all they've got.Quote:

As much as I dislike them, they played really well on that first half.
Yeah what a fucking sap. And it only a goal in a World Cup final.Quote:

At half time on the BBC they played clips of the Argentinian commentator going mental at both goals.Quote:

I think you’re starting to sound obsessed with Argentina.Quote:

He’s definitely never heard a South American commentator before in his life anyway.Quote:

The gooooool for the penalty was a very restrained one, for the second goal the same guy went mental.
Messi miles ahead of Mbappe today.
Di Maria miles ahead of Mbappe too.
I can't see how France are even going to fashion a chance here, let alone score. I can't believe we let that fucking 30 yarder from Tchouameni go in.
The only thing to make this better would be England doing what France are doing now in this final. :drool:Quote:

If France aren't going to get back into this can we at least start getting some dirty fouls in?
They don't look arsed enough even for that.Quote:

I'll tell you who has been France's worst player, from many candidates: Griezmann. Their best in the rest of the tournament.
Rabiot might be keen for scything someone down if all is lost.
I wonder how Taz will spin all of these French ebony dons playing like a pub team. Maybe the manager is racist and demoralised them?
