OT World Cup

[wiseguy1]

Top 4 ranked teams made it to the semi-finals. Why did we even bother with the other 44 teams.

I think it's more about getting Messi to the final rather than screwing the other team. They're just "colleteral damage" in the grand scheme of things.

(Adidas is an official WC sponsor and supplies Argie’s kit, eh?)

Garden gnome looked cooked last night and is increasingly ineffective. Father time remains undefeated.

2 Adidas vs 2 Nike iirc

Spain looks strong. France seems exposed. They had looked so good leading into this.

 

[lecoqsportif]

And that is a defensive masterclass by Spain.

Brilliant.

 

[Hoiles]

I gotta say I'm pretty pumped there will be lots of fast-talking cuties in Red and Yellow at the local sports bar like there were during the last Euro finals.

 

[Krustchev]

Spain remind me of the Hurricanes. They just suffocate you all over the pitch.

 

[lecoqsportif]

It’s Barcelona.

Spain is France's kryptonite and has beaten them in semis of a tournament 3 straight yrs

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

the knock on France has always been their weaker defense....

Hard to say that cost them (Digne was bad all game even if the penalty on Diveal was unfortunate). Saliba going out early hurt too

Sometimes you just match up badly with a team and that is Spain re France.

Doesn't matter

It's coming home

Germany is out....

England fails again. Messi just took over the game. Best of all time, period.

I’m expecting an all time great finals

Spain will win easily

Won’t be as entertaining as 2022…that was one for the ages…

Argies take 2-0 lead, Mbappe scores two quick goals with time running out, then they each trade extra time goals, and it gets settled in penalties

Mbappe had 4 goals total (if you count penalties at the end)

England allowed him to. It was like watching the Habs trying to win game 7 in Tampa 1-0 for two full periods.

Best player (potentially) ever vs possibly the deepest 11 man unit ever… has the makings of an all time classic

Superstar vs depth

Argentina were probably the weakest of the 4 teams left…

As Krusty mentioned, England should’ve won this…British media will be ruthless

German coach. Conspiracy!!
