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

Alvarez created both goals but will get very little credit for it.

But we all know he’ll be all over the headlines when he returns and is on the bench for us.

 

[Gray]

Argies pressing all over but in midfield has been superb

That is where England can improve vastly.

 

[domalino]

Do you need more attention?

Says the man who’s brought up Englands manager 20 times in a match that doesn’t involve England.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Alvarez pass to McAllister for the second goal not given a name check by the BBC pundits.

Ignore City players at all cost.

 

[SebastianBlue]

He didn’t create the first goal, come on.


Di Maria was going absolutely nowhere, there was no danger until Dembele’s incredibly stupid challenge and Di Maria turning it into a penalty.

Di María would not have received the ball if not for a bit of brilliant improvisation from Julian. It would have been a goal kick for France otherwise.

He literally made Di Maria’s run for the penalty possible.

 

[PragueBlue]

For the second goal he pressed and forced a pass on the sideline which led to Argentina getting the ball, then he took off, received the pass from Messi, and played the beautiful pass to McAllister.

Incredible work rate by Julian as usual.

Played the pass out to Di Maria as well from which Argentina got the penalty.

20 times? You’ve had time to check my post history, you definitely need attention.

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Do you think we will hear this today from the commentary team? ‘Ex Manchester City player Nico Otamendi winning the world cup’…….

Only if he gets sent off or gives away a goal.

 

[chesterbells]

That is where England can improve vastly.

Yeah, they need some of that energetic pressing liverpool employ.

 

[domalino]

Ignore City players at all cost.

Yes, clearly the policy of ignoring all City players is why the BBC hired Pablo Zabaleta as a pundit.
