Ronaldo FC on suicide watch

You know CR turned off the TV after Messi's pen went in.

In the 2014 WC Final Argentina played similarly to today but just couldn't score all the chances they created. Now they did and it's looking a like a cakewalk

Debating that first penalty is pointless…yes the contact was “soft” but Dembele should have never put himself in that position.

Di Maria wasn’t going to do shyt from that position and if he somehow beats you, hats off to him for converting a low probability shot versus giving Messi a high probability PK

 

[Carl Tethers]

they clearly have a plan...any sort of contact in the box for Argentina and a pen will be given

demebele is an absolute retard for playing into that though

That doesn't explain the other goal

Hating on a young black star.

Negged

After what he did in the summer, fukk him

One consolation for French supporters - they score when they get a chance.

That have to get chances first though.

A bunch of those dudes claim to be sick from the air conditioning. AC is not usually used in their country and it's been a shock to their systems.

legionnaires (and other) bugs. i had a family member go down with legionnaires a few weeks ago. it was rough.

Messi and Argentina about to STEAL a world cup here!

 

[Liu Kang]

it's the midfield. rabiot and tchoumeini not enough to shore it up. england overpowered them but lacked up front. argentina are not making the same mistake.



england almost kept them on the back foot. argentina is doing them same.

BUT it is not over yet ...

I agree that there is an issue with the midfield yes but we also did the same against Morocco and Poland. That's why I think it's just the overall strategy. We played like this forever and now we need to switch it up which is impossible.

It's not over yet but our bench is thin and we don't have Giroud anymore for crosses...

 

[Copy Ninja]

I'm not an Argentina fan but that penalty was deserved. Dembele making contact in the box after getting cooked was dumb as hell. You can't make contact from behind 100% dudes will go down and they're getting that call.

 

[Nero Christ]

Argentina wants to put this one to bed early

 

[Rev]

great to see the GOAT close his career like this

How are you the worst poster in every subforum on the Coli

Argentina carve that defense up immediately.

Argentina already looking hungrier
