OT: Soccer thread

[zeke]

I've never loved mbappe. His one thing has always been being super efficient in converting his chances. I don't know if he's lost a step or just had his sights off this tourney but without that high conversion rate he's not a massive impact player.

 

[zeke]

Kone in for Osorio. Good stuff.

Even if we lose this is invaluable experience for the kid.

 

[habs25th]

They are the best team at the Euro. Only flaw is a lack of size on D.

I can relate.

 

[MindzEye]

One day....one day we're not going to be shit with chances.

One day.

 

[MindzEye]

David has been tragic on our last 2 opportunities.

 

[zeke]

Only 18min in but...we look better than i expected. Really good stuff.

Argentina playing long game

 

[lecoqsportif]

Bombito not good there.

 

[MindzEye]

That's why making a dogs breakfast of early opportunities hurts.

 

[CRL]

Bombito not good there.

He is not good in general and I guess it’s all we have

 

[zeke]

Shoulda been a foul. Bah.

 

[lecoqsportif]

He is not good in general and I guess it’s all we have

CB is our main problem.

 

[zeke]

Bombito came out of nowhere you gotta expect some mistakes at this point.

 

[Artnes]

Touch on the ball is the biggest difference so far. Argentina are much more confident with theirs

 

[lecoqsportif]

Very clever by David there.

Fox in the box.

 

[LeafGm]

Come on boys. Make like this shutout is the Falkland Islands, and take it away from the Argies by force.

 

[CH1]

Touch on the ball is the biggest difference so far. Argentina are much more confident with theirs

We are the brutes

 

[zeke]

That's about as good a half as i could have expected.

Unfortunately the one clear chance for either team ended up in the back of our net.

 

[MindzEye]

Touch on the ball is the biggest difference so far. Argentina are much more confident with theirs

Also talented.

 

[zeke]

Game stats paint the right picture imo. ARG better but not by a whole lot. 1-0 probably the right score.

If we want to win we have to be better/luckier with conversion rates on both ends...but that was always goinf to be true in this marchup.
