The 2018 World Cup Superthread

Just the saw the angle from behind Pavard. Its incredible the spin he put on that.

Trigger

I must say, the keepers positioning was terrible for that, though he still had no hope!

sligeach

If it goes to extra time, France will have the better legs.

Yeah, yeah... whatever.

Pavard skies that out of the stadium 99 times out of 100. Freaky strike of the ball.

in fairness you can't blame Pogba for that...any player would have gone forward to block Messi off.

He was already covered, though.

Unreal spin on that. Some outrageously good goals in this world Cup!

It was a fluke to be honest, more of a miskick.

Did you get on it in time?

Just a meagre 15 quid though! For such a wide open game, with that talent on the pitch and Argentina prone to blow up, disciplinary wise, it was stupid odds by PP!

MBappy!!!!!

sligeach

Poor from Argentina. :mad:

Sprinter Sacre

Stick to making suits you're absolutely **** keeper

The Talking Bread

Decent enough game, this...........................................

sonic85

Game over I'd say

HalloweenJack

Now Mbappe.

Hernandez is having some game, he's getting a lot of joy down the left. Last two goals have come from his balls into the box.

chopperbyrne

This has been the match of the tournament so far.

sligeach

Keeper should have done better.

How Soon Is Now

Game over maybe now. Hopefully France don't sit back again now.

blueser

Poor by Lloris there. He shouldn't be letting that in.

MisterAnarchy

Pathetic goalkeeping.

It was the Argentinian keeper who made the mistake.

Trigger

What a great team goal

blueser

Game over.

sligeach

Ah FFS. That is w*** defending.

HalloweenJack

I guess France were saving this for the knockout stages.

Mbappe has been immense.

Will I Am Not

Wow. Some game. Argentina are shocking in defence.

eigrod

Game over France could get a couple more here

jacool

Class

ERG89

U12's defending there. Game over.

How Soon Is Now

That's that so!!

Hope they carry this on into next game now play to level there well able for.

blueser

Those Argentinian defenders couldn't mark a lamp post.

Corholio

France finally woken up and done what was expected. Glad that the Argies don't look like poxing through the rounds again.

Football..............bloody hell!!!

Minderbinder

Pogba has been great too.

MisterAnarchy

Argentina look like they ran out of energy after around 60 minutes, the exertions of the Nigeria match took a lot out of them.

hope he doesn't pick up a yellow. They will probably take him off just after the 80 minute mark if it stays the same

sligeach

Matuidi just gets a yellow and the commentator then says "France have been very disciplined, they were worried about Matuidi and Pogba getting yellows today".

Then follows up a few minutes later with "I should tell you that Matuidi has been booked".

We know.

Sprinter Sacre

Imagine not brining on someone like Dybala when you're down two goals.

didn't he get the yellow just after that

Could be wrong

sonic85

France break down field get deep into Argentinas half and then end up playing it back to their keeper

sligeach

No, it was right before he said that. You could see Matuidi reacting to the yellow and it popped up on the screen that he received the yellow and would miss the next match.

The Talking Bread

Good old Ronnie..................."the 2 quick goals have knocked the stuffing out of them and the crowd have gone quiet"

Deep analysis there

sonic85

WTF was that from Meza. Jaysus a lot of the Argies look like they don't give a fcuk

sonic85

Giving the ball to Mascherano in that area is just like giving it straight to a French player

I'm watching the Beeb, and Danny Murphy does similar.

They were raving about Argies at half time, now in hindsight they are calling them rubbish again.

English love seeing the Argies lose, they can't hide their delight.

He is probably following the live text on the GAA matches with only an eye on the game. Terrible commentator

Corholio

Di Maria hopeless twice there. Another guy that just vanishes when the going is a bit tough.
