I was all for France but a really nice Argentinian is sat next to me at the bar so now I want them to win. fortunate that France hasn't even shown up to the final.

France are playing like poo poo, nobody needs to excuse that - and for the record I'm not a fan of France at all. My rage against the machine has been going all tournament because of the shocking refs. Ronaldo got the same treatment in terms of pens for dives and it just completely ruins football.

Yep, it's absolutely insane to me that they spent so much money on VAR and whatever other tech and just completely refuse to call out the most obvious bullshit

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
rabiot and tchouameni have been garbage, just hopeless defending and totally unable to get the ball to france's actual good players like grease man and mbappe

He was very good in the games up until England, where he did nothing, but he did have a hand in both goals against Morocco.

I understand there will be a lot of conspiracy talk about the "covid", refs etc but I think it is also quite likely that France are just playing badly against a team of extremely well motivated Argentinians captained by the best player of all time who are giving them absolutely zero time on the ball.

Argentina have been very good all tournament at pressing aggressively with their midfield and then the defenders pressing aggressively after that, it's like a double wall that no team in the tournament has been able to live with or attack outside of 1) Holland going route 1 after bringing on a giant, and 2) Saudi Arabia lol

Eh, Mbappe did quite a lot against England. He was heavily involved in their goals, and the tied up a bunch of players that marked him leaving huge space for others.
