Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2018

Emotions enough for a world cup.

 

That's all I asked for, thank you guys

It seems Argentina didn't learn anything from the Croatian game. Again Tagliafico and Mercado spent most of their times on the opponent's side, and left their sides empty. It is sad, but the result could be 7(8)-3(4).

Liberte, egalite, Mbappe   Best match so far, no doubt about this. I have to be honest and say that I expected another boring match between these teams. I'm happy that I was wrong

It's not their fault, midfield must provide coverage and it was non existent. I'm very disappointed with the coach, I thought he was good at the time, but he made all kind of stupid decisions and formations in the year he has been in charge.

Yes, Sampaoli is a very good Chilean coach!

Good game. A well playing France side is just too much for this Argentina team I think. They sacrificed some offensive power with Matuidi on the wing, still they had amazing quality up front. Now the three best teams from 2014 are out of the tournament.

 

I don't expect tonight's game to be nearly as good. Both teams lack creativity and they have a different playing style. Smells like extra time there.
