World Cup 2022 - Team and Match Discussion

France were poor against England, won it against the run of play, but that's what winners do, would be no surprise if it panned out like that again today.

Why was the Blackadder theme tune played?

Mr.Nice Guy · 18-12-2022 04:00PM

Feels like this match is another level of importance compared to regular club football. Must be incredible to be French or Argentinian right now.

Allez les bleus!

more likely a Boca Juniors top. Same colours.

ShamoBuc · 18-12-2022 04:06PM

France way too loose. Argentina happy to shoot from anywhere.

TheRiverman · 18-12-2022 04:06PM

Messi looking sharp.

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:09PM

That was lucky from France. Poor effort from DePaul, still got a corner out of it, the deflection could have gone anywhere.

Mr.Nice Guy · 18-12-2022 04:10PM

Looks bad for Lloris. No club sentiment shown from Romero.

Seems he's okay to carry on.

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:11PM

Declan Rice had traitoritis.

Dave0301 · 18-12-2022 04:11PM

That was a sly one on Lloris

BorneTobyWilde · 18-12-2022 04:11PM

Two Argentinian players pushed over in the box in that incident, that flapping GK gets the call, so protected

gormdubhgorm · 18-12-2022 04:11PM

Fair play to Darragh Maloney knowing who the players wives are. Proper sports journalism.

The Di Maria selection looks a promising one so far.

McDermotX · 18-12-2022 04:14PM

Argentina looking far more on it. Need to make it count before the French get their break.

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:15PM

No doubt about it, Argentina have been the better team for the first 15 minutes.

Dave0301 · 18-12-2022 04:18PM

Messi looking very dangerous already

McDermotX · 18-12-2022 04:19PM

Got clipped, but takes the dive. Danger ball in now.

Giroud on top of at least a couple players. FK out

Mr.Nice Guy · 18-12-2022 04:21PM

Oh ffs here we go.

BorneTobyWilde · 18-12-2022 04:21PM

PENALTY

McDermotX · 18-12-2022 04:21PM

Pen for Argentina

Dembele looked awkward. Minimal contact, DiMaria dives TBH, but it won't be changed.

Mr.Nice Guy · 18-12-2022 04:21PM

Absolute bollocks but no surprise.

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:21PM

Definite penalty for Argentina. Silly challenge to make, but he can have no complaints.

BorneTobyWilde · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

Looks like he made the penalty, not much in it

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

The pressure must be colossal.

ShamoBuc · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

That's always going to be given as a pen.

Messi does what Messi does.,

Mr.Nice Guy · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

The fix is in.

ctrl-alt-delete · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

Soft penalty,

and Messi delivers

McDermotX · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

Messi is on the way

sligeach · 18-12-2022 04:22PM

Argentina are deservedly ahead.

BorneTobyWilde · 18-12-2022 04:23PM

Total genius penalty,
