France vs Argentina (R16) - 15:00 - 30/06/2018

[editor]

Awesome pass too. France are just too fast for them Argies.

 

[quiet guy]

Should have at least been on target with that

 

[Badgers]

Pogba is such an overhyped waste of money

 

[Favelado]

French tactics perfect. Defend deep, get Kanté et al breaking up play and stopping the albiceleste getting into a rhythm, and then play a killer ball to someone who can run at 50km/h.

Early doors, but looking grim for Argentina.

Pogba is such an overhyped waste of money

He did just put mbappe through with a 60 yard pin point accurate ball

Mbappe smells blood, and if Argentina don't sort themselves out soon he could really have a field day.

MORE rolling on the ground! More!

They can and they will

Relevance?

 

[Badgers]

France are unbeaten in their last 18 World Cup games in which they’ve scored first, winning 16 and drawing 2. Last time they lost scoring first was against Poland in 1982.

Who thinks England could beat this French team?

Not me. I think they're playing quite well, and, when they want, fast.

Relevance?

Comparing teams competing in the World Cup is irrelevant?

Not me. I think they're playing quite well, and, when they want, fast.

I think England can match them for skill, but the speed of the French attack is something else.

England have nowt to do with this match, why pick out England specifically, and why now?

Why the hell are you being so touchy? It's a perfectly normal question which I imagine loads of football fans will be thinking about.

 

[dessiato]

England have nowt to do with this match, why pick out England specifically, and why now?

Because we're British and supporting our home team. And England might have to play one of these teams.

 

[editor]

Gordon Bennett!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yikes, that were good!

 

[binka]

Foot traction engine etc

 

[dessiato]

Argentina!!

 

[editor]

Hotty Cam engaged!

 

[Badgers]

Cracking goal

 

[imposs1904]

Nice . . . they didn't deserve it . . . but nice.

 

[imposs1904]

Hotty Cam engaged!

Why do you think some of us want Colombia to beat England 7-0?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Why the hell are you being so touchy? It's a perfectly normal question which I imagine loads of football fans will be thinking about.

Yes, from Rio de Janeiro to Tokyo, they're all watching France v Argentina and wondering how a team who wouldn't meet them until the final might fare. Also, who's being touchy? I'm just curious as to why you brought England up, when no-one else was talking about them and you have no care for them either. Let it go, just enjoy the match you're watching.

Because we're British and supporting our home team. And England might have to play one of these teams.

Yes, editor is concerned with England's chances because he is supporting his "home team"

 

[Badgers]

We have all had a drink

One of the worst World Cup threads so far to this point.

In fairness, it's not a good game.
