Argentina v France - Sun 18th Dec, 15:00 | Final | World Cup 2022

That is what I was referring to. Messi has been as bad this half as he was good the first half.

No he hasn’t. You’re looking it it all too simply.

His link up play was perfect up until Di Maria went off. Argentina then started to sit back. He’s not getting the ball now because France are having their first spell of the entire game.

Teams need to learn to kill the momentum when a 2 goal lead is reduced to 1 goal. It was the same for us versus Madrid last year.

Someone has to fake an injury and go down for a couple of minutes, let the manager get the players together and re-group.

This is all down to Otamendi, I’m glad we don’t have him anymore.

People forget how awful he was for us.

Seen this in a few games. France seem to get the subs right. Argentina seem to make poor subs

Big decision for Argentina at extra time, do they take Messi off?

Acuña is surely not the best they had to bring on?!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Alvarez ran himself into the ground, expecting Martinez to replace him for extra time.

France nailed on to win if that happens.

Mbappe is flying

 

[ninjamonkey]

This Polish ref has handled this game exceptionally well doesn’t look as if he can be intimidated

If you ordered pierluigi Collina from wish.

 

[chesterbells]

You’re a whopper mate and that’s putting it lightly.

Lol

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Agreed. The Poles are brave.

There's also the little thing about him being more "ripped" than most of the players. Doesn't look like one to be fucked with
