Argentina VS France: Final

He wasn't trying to intentionally hurt Hugo.

This is correct. He was just trying to hurt the keeper; it just happened to be Hugo lol

 

[SlotBadger]

I fucking hate their play acting - like why the fuck did Fernandez just drop there like he had been shot

Got Gabriel Jesus’ wimpy eyebrows that make him look like he’s on the verge of tears all the time. ****.

regardless of the outcome, I hope France comes back with a goal before half. Don't want the second half to be a watchfest of Argentinians examining the pitch in minute detail face down writing in temporary debilitating pain.

What like every single team in the Premier League does every single week you mean? including Spurs.

Argentina still haven't played Dybala this WC, have they?!

They did. He played at the latter stage against Croatia.

 

[Marty]

Fortunately for Spurs he didn't do as much damage as he might have been trying to do to Hugo

He was shoved by Upamecano. They would've collided anyway of course but the force wouldn't have been nearly as great if he wasn't pushed.

Ah I stand corrected.

They're playing some great stuff, but those antics really do irk me. I know every team does it at one point or another, but it's just so blatant.

He shouldn't be throwing elbows at anyone, let alone his club captain, regardless of the game. Stupidity from him. Could have seen himself off. Needs to have a bit more sense.

I get he's an "edgy" player and people love that about him. But he could have put Hugo out for the season if lands it higher up.

Maradona is the greatest

It's a pointless debate really. I doubt many people on here watched Pele in his prime, let alone any players that came before him.

Argentina are just extremely lucky to have had two of the greats.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Massive difference in attitudes on the pitch. ALL the Argentina players have been in a war in this first half, they have fought for everything and their manager has found a weakness and they have exploited it perfectly (with di Maria)...

The French (Tchoumeni apart) have been very French. Deschamps making that sub (dembele) should have happened earlier.... the giroud sub was a disgrace. What a way to treat your players.

I also get the feeling that the Argentina bench are full on fans and will support the team to the end, I wonder if the French bench have the same mentality.

Only one team are showing passion out there.

 

[carmeldevil]

God I like Messi but I can't stand the rest of the ****s - always moaning and rolling around the floor acting like they are victims of everything.

 

[Johnny J]

Rio clearly thought he was broadcasting a funeral. Yet somehow appropriate given how Argentina have buried France.

See above

He was pushed into Hugo from what I saw. Not deliberately throwing an elbow.

I'll never understand how elite footballers can have gum while playing. You get a knock and that goes down the wrong way, you're in trouble.

It’s caffeine gum!

You clearly don't know much about Romero do you

He got a few minutes in the Semi Final. When they were 3 Nil up .

That won't help if it gets stuck in your lung lol
