France v Australia – Tue 22nd Nov, 19:00 | Group D | World Cup 2022

Vinny dropping knowledge

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The World's most overrated player being er....overrated.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Fuck me, it's just like a CL night at the Etihad.

 

[SamBlue]

Poor Vincent, he is actually trying to explain nuances of certain aspects of the game, while Lineker would just drone about Mbape...

 

[Nelinho]

Playing out from the back isn’t for everyone.

Especially convicts.

Guardiola's influence is a great legacy, actually a gift for football and its evolution, no question about that.

Having said that, it's in such circumstances that people claiming "Pep is ruining football" (I myself have said it repeatedly, ironically of course) will smile. Just "stealing" an idea you like will not work, unless you've carefully and cosistently prepared the foundations for its implementation. We've been watching stuff like that numerous times these years at all levels of football, from amateurish to the very highest. This is a national team, and this is a fucking WC match...

Mbappe could have made it 3-1, next moment Duke will miss the opportunity to equalize. None of these would have occured though. In the space of just 5 minutes Australia will ridiculously throw away a 1 goal lead (both goals preventable, both totally unacceptable at this level), and there is nobody to blame but themselves. Deschamps is a lucky man here, his players didn't even have to try hard: Opposition has been tremedously generous towards France so far...

Brilliant vinny. And he had a smirk all the way through that

 

[Gray]

Good lad Vincent, “we need players who can run”.

 

[MCFC1993]

Lineker: 'Would you take him (Ronaldo) at Burnley?'

Vinnie: 'We need players that can run'.

The opposition are professional too though. A misplaced pass, in whatever philosophy a team follows, can lead to a goal.

The theory was sound, the execution wasn’t.

Has the BBC ever dissected a host country so much in the past.
I take it their entire entourage travelled carbon neutral to Qatar.
