That Mbappe goal gets better every time you look at it. The first-time volley on a dime...

Don't joke, man, there's word of MERS being an issue at the WC. Not saying at all that it's what's going on here, but that would be a horrible outcome from one of the WC's we've seen in years.

It is obvious that France was better so this was coming.

I've been critical of both but in truth ever since we got out of the group they've absolutely shut down the oppositions midfield.

It works in tournaments, especially if you have Lionel Messi, but in league, I think you still need more creativity.

"redefining the central mid"... lol, come on

Otamendi will always been a buffoon. Can never trust him.

The way soccer matches can turn on a dime is pretty much unmatched. In football, basketball, baseball, etc you can obviously erase huge deficits like any other sport-- my NFL team just had the biggest comeback in league history yesterday -- but it takes time and you can see it unfolding. In soccer, all you need is a few minutes.

clearly not a penalty what?

The one replay we got showed the kicking motion by the defender missed the ball and hit the attacker's foot. But like I said, I only got one zoomed-in replay and tbh I couldn't really tell anything in real-time, so I may be wrong.

Because France is not known for making dumb fouls. People have their biases.

Di Maria is a well known diver/cheat.

And he is very ugly, too

Another foul not called . Ref is bought up

Jesus, Mbappe is a **** stallion out there.

Evenacus · Post #839 » by **Evenacus** » Sun Dec 18, 2022 4:57 pm

So there should have been an indirect kick given now, Argentinian player returns the ball to the keeper and he takes it in hand ?

nice work by that defender not panicking and just nudging the ball toward the keeper with his knee
