Well, no matter the outcome this sunday if there is a place to be besides Qatar is Argentina. If we win it'll be unforgettable for everybody.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

Also, this is what happens when you don't talk shit before the match. Respect.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

lol
He barely can run

Yeah, sure.

 

[El Pistolero]

Its incredible how much parise Messi get when most of the match he walk like this

Brother, you either have no idea what football is, or are arguing for the sake of arguing, in bad faith. I genuinely do not see a third option...

It's more incredible that people are willing to openly embarrass themselves with statements like this.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

Yeah, sure.

This is why the World Cup is at a lower level than Premier League. That defender is so slow.

Trying to lower the World Cup where the best of the best are?

Some love for those feeling

"smoking weed, drinking wine, those who don't cheer for Argentina why the fuck are here?. Don't have a dime but I go anyway home or away"

I rarely watch watch football but it's obvious Messi is not the man of the match when Alvarez scored two goals
and got the penalty and played better than him, Its dosent need an expret to see this IMO

The best may play there but most of the teams play crap football. I'd argue that most teams would get beat by a lower PL team and that includes teams that made it to the semis.

Messi acknowledged this when they gave him the award, look for the video.

Well, that's how each country plays
It' easy to have the money and pay for the best instead of playing with the best of your home country.
It's like Olympics, you have to play with what you have.

I don't disagree. Obviously the money involved in the PL and La Liga means that that's where the top talent will play. What I said is still true. But I don't recall the World Cup before 2018 being so weak and slow.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

It's like different waves on each country.
Next one with more teams will be like no one and the first without Ronaldo nor Messi

I still think France will win it all but I want Messi to get that Cup. GOAT

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[Windle Poons]

Todays game is of course:

France v Morocco.

Messi did fuck all all these years with Argentina. Only recently he won the Copa America with them but that's a weak cup.

Can't wait for the post game highlights. And I'm not talking about football.

The cultural aspect sure will be interesting.

Messi scored the first penalty against a goal keeper experienced in penalties. Messi was the one who gave the ball to Alvarez in the middle field for the second goal. Messi did 95% of the work for that third goal.

Not even a fan of the dude but you gotta admit he is incredibly talented and he is carrying that team.

Yep, I read France has mobilised 10k cops to keep the fans in check. Seems to happen with a certain group/team more than with others. How many cops were mobilised when they played England for example?

1.2k. Although Morocco was also playing earlier the same day, so those were for both matches.

[solidus12]

I want Morocco to win because I am Moroccan. But hey, even if we lose, we have made history by making it to the semi-finals.
I just wish French people weren't so arrogant and seeing themselves the winners already.

Go Morocco

If Southgate was even a little bit of a better coach, we wouldn't have had to deal with another insufferable France win.

They're already taking victory for granted, underestimating Morocco; overconfidence will be their mistake.

I hope we can win, if not, it has been a hell of a journey for a whole nation and continent.

 

[Ilpalazzo]

Indeed, he already said it

An here's how he behave when they don't talk shit before a game:

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

Place your bets - how many penalties will Argentina be awarded in the final?

 

[Toots]

If Southgate was even a little bit of a better coach, we wouldn't have had to deal with another insufferable France win.

Sure, if England tried to play football instead of uninspired kick and rush as they did, or just had a better team, you wouldn't have to seethe, but hey c'est la vie

Let the best team win, any result is historic (if the winning team beats Argentina of course). If France wins they'll be 2 times back to back world cup champions, equaling Dr DisRespect (i don't think it ever happened), if Morocco wins it will be the first time an african team wins the world cup, and as a bonus it will prevent algerian fans to be the first african world champions (which we would never hear the end of, if it ever happened)

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

On paper, the England team is better. Southgate is an idiot. England should have set up in a much more attacking formation. The FA are a joke - should have gotten rid of that clown after the Euros (before the Euros would have been better).

Today the miracles will continue.

 

[12Goblins]

went to Tous Les Jours bakery to get ready for today

I have this perfect follow-up picture but its A: Furry and B: Porn.

PM me if you wanna see it.

Already crying and ready to claim it was rigged?

 

[AJUMP23]

No matter the results of today's game if you are French and in France, stay inside. Morocco wins Paris will burn, Morrocco loses, Paris will definitely. burn.

Well at least Elisabet Ramsey will be happy. (First to get that reference without googling it wins a cookie)

Got a concert in La Vilette at 8pm, pray for me GAF. I should be going out exactly when the match ends

It's not arrogant if you're French, more like correct order of things.

Impossible n'est pas français tout ça tout ça…

 

[12Goblins]

Prep your molotovs; Moroccan dreams about to shatter

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hoping for a competitive game. France favored but don't count out MOROCCO

 

[Windle Poons]

France score.

 

[jonnyp]

That was awful defending. Cannot stand France, blah.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Ziyech diving cunt.

 

[12Goblins]

mmm baguettes

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

I don't see how else you explain those soft penalties that Argentina have been given.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

That keeper just stood there.

The fact that Griezmann is playing in the World Cup shows the tournament's level.

Soft or hard you still say PK
