Crazier things have happened but let’s assume France beats Morocco - as most people are.

I don’t see how Argentina pulls it off against France. If they somehow do, I can already visualize the Argentinian smugness

Stranger things have happened. France feeling the pressure of repeating is definitely a possibility, and Argentina catching them by surprise and scratching out a 1'niller wouldn't surprise me.

Lol at u thinking Messi is carrying a bunch of scrubs. Stop.

Bro no Messi and this team 9 times out of ten doesn’t get past the 2nd round. It just ain’t a top 8 team. They ain’t scrubs but they aren’t a team pushing for certain semi final spot that’s for sure.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

what Argentina have that France don’t have right now (Morocco has it) is that die on the pitch mentality. These players around Messi putting everything into the game to win. Then you have Messi who finds a moment to score/ create a goal.

Yeh France are better but over 90 minutes one off game the above can easily beat a team like france particularly when this france defence shaky

Its really hard to repeat. Most of this French team already won so dont really care. Coasting on pure talent.

It would be cool to see Messi win it and tie a bow on his GOAT resume, but I just can't root for Argentina and thier scumbag fans, so as much as Morroco making the final would be amazing, I need France to pack them up, and bury Argentina

Everybody hyping up this ARG win against an overachieving Croatia team. Same shyt is gonna happen tomorrow when France spanks another team playing above their level.

And then France will beat ARG the same fashion they beat ENG but with an extra goal or 2 cuz ARG defense is vulnerable.

nikka what?

Messi and Alvarez are a deadly duo

Breakout cup for Alvarez, pep better play this man

Great call to have him as Messi's legs up there. Also taking his chances

Inter were about to finesse someone into paying £80m for Lautaro

Stop. U act like messi the sole reason they here. They won on penalties vs Netherlands and beat a Croatia team that has no business being in the semis. With or without messi, its doable for them

Compared to those stacked Portugal, Brazil, Spain or England squads.

You are a hater, that's understood, but come to fukk on.

It took Messi five World Cups (well, four, 06' he was a kid) and 7 Copa América to finally step up and own his national squad to the point of leading them in clutch moments to make them advance. Even in 2014, he wasn't the main reason they were advancing. This tournament dude has played the best leadership and MVP role I've even seen him play. He's even got swagger now.

It's mind boggling but breh stepped up a level which is kinda insane

He took that KSA loss personally. Also, there's always been other attacking threats in this side. Now he's the only threat which conversely means teams over-correct for him. Its why this France always seems to win and why Dechamps moving Griezmann to a #10 role is actually a master stroke. When you have a talisman player like that it frees up threats that weren't there before.

Now that Di Maria is a non-factor, Dybala is a non-factor, there's no Tevez or Higuain..there's ONLY Messi. And the players in the side are there to facilitate him.
France/Argentina would be a magnificent final.

Shut up

What kind of hottake is this? Lol. ARG path to where they are includes facing mexico, saudi arabia, and poland. In the knock out rounds they faced Netherlands and now Croatia.


Stop acting like they faced stiff competition to the point where they needed Messi to get here. I know your a dikk rider but come the fukk on

 

[ReasonableMatic]

At some point a South American team has to man up and win this so Argies might just do it.

Argentina has won the Worldcup 2 times

Brazil has won the Worldcup 5 times, the most in HISTORY

Stop acting like those Nazis run shyt in South America, they don’t
