The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

DD needs to let his midfielders know they're part of the same midfield.

Great free kick from Greizman at least

 

[African_brehda]

Try it for ten mins?

This is an Argentina team about to defend. He’s better off facing the RB, then trying to go through the middle

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

football novice here, why does france have zero goal attempts?

They can’t hold on to the ball. They keep losing that shyt in the midfield

 

[MajesticLion]

Happening now

Someone said play Mbappe through the middle. I have to concur

Worst possible decision right now. He's going to get mauled trying to out-muscle anyone in there. 60th-70th minute in the 2nd half, maybe, to throw off the opposition's tactics if it came to that. Deschamps is panicking in the first half.


Marathon, not sprint.

 

[ALonelyDad]

wtf are you talking about dumbass

His stream hasn't played the 2nd goal yet

 

[African_brehda]

We need perfect in game management from Scaloni

 

[Peak]

Deschamps gonna have to give a team talk ala Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday to rescue this

 

[Roid Jones]

Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia their first game what are you some of you guys talking about??

Idiots, when they lost to Saudi Arabia they were washed, now it's been FIFA's plan all along to gift them the trophy

 

[Carl Tethers]

wtf are you talking about dumbass

Breh can't turn the faux militancy off for a World Cup Final

 

[Nero Christ]

the first 15 mins out of half will be telling

 

[King Jove]

football novice here, why does france have zero goal attempts?

France midfield can't get anything moving forward to even create chances

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

The Argentina backline with those 3 midfielders in front is causing all types of trouble for France.
Every pass is being deflected, intercepted, crosses cleared....Argentina looking possessed out here.

Messi causing Rabiot to pull up farther away from the backline...one more through ball and we might be putting this one to bed.

 

[concise]

I'm waiting for stories about the usual French infighting to come out as to why they have been poor

We already have a good glimpse from this Deschamps/Benzema situation with Decshamps eager to say Benz was out for the whole tournament.
He went back to Spain, Real Madrid said his injury wasn't even that bad.


When the full details come out from that, it won't look good for Deschamps at all.

Spooky hour for CR7 stans
