I don’t exactly watch a huge amount of Ligue 1 but I was under the impression he’s back to doing pretty well
Clearly he’s not as good as he was in his prime though
This World Cup feels like the last hurrah for both as top level players. And to be honest although both were incredible players I’m looking forward to football moving on from them. Their fans are exhausting with the way they make everything about those two.

Yup. All sports are like that.
Every time an NBA or NHL player or coach criticizes the refs after a game they get fined. "Supposedly", refs making bad calls get reprimanded by their league of referees behind closed door, but I've never seen or heard anything about what happens. The refs keep officiating games like nothing happened. So it shows nothing happens.
Baseball is the worst. There's one home plat umpire still working who calls the worst balls and strikes. Still has a job. I forget his name, but he's always brought up.
At best, the league sometimes makes a small public statement 3 days later saying they apologize for getting the call wrong. That's as far as it goes.
Sports needs as much robot AI as possible. Or at minimum multiple refs and control room calls by people watching camera angles. Hockey has goals confirmed by a control room in Toronto head office where people watch camera angles to ensure goals are called correct even if the ref got the call wrong on the ice. Soccer should be the posterboy for better officiating. There's so much diving and one play can decide the game. Yet some reason there's only one ref to officiate the entire field.

There’s VAR but it just takes too long and they often send the ref back over to look at a tv.
At the WC there is supposed to be a little sensor in the ball that judges offsides. Mind you I could have imagined that.

He's doing okay. He's currently the 8th top goal scorer in the league, which certainly isn't killing it.

England flew back to Birmingham airport last night on an unmarked private hire aircraft.

Supposedly when the airplane reached 30,000 ft, the pilot told the cabin to look out the window. A once in a lifetime sight to behold. Kane's ball.

The sensor only tells if the ball has crossed a line. It cant really tell where every player are.

Argentina won the world cup before. Morocco or Croatia winning would be incredible.

Absolutely, not since 1986 though - which is why I prefer them over France. Just change it up a bit. Croatia or Morocco winning it is once in a lifetime stuff.

I got nothing against France but I don't want em to win cos if there's one thing on this planet Canadian sports fans are known for it's glory hunting. Now all of a sudden every penguin botherer up there is dusting off their beret and discovering their long lost Parisian grand mere. There are no levels these people won't sink too. No coat tails they won't grasp if they even so much as sniff the opportunity to get in on a trophy. It's disgusting. I actually feel sorry for em. Imagine going through life trying to claim another nation's victories for your own.

Indeed when it landed at Birmingham they kept everyone on the plane until Harry found his ball.

I don't know. Pretty sure everyone expected Brazil to stomp all over Croatia. And look how that turned out.

Morocco is playing great because all their players learned football in France in their youth, in french training facilities, and they were coached by coach Vahid (the moroccan football federation are a bunch of cunts btw for how they treated him... Just for this they do not deserve to win the cup).
Technically Morocco could surprise us, but at this point of the tournament i don't see the french boys letting themselves caught off guard...
Allez les gars !

Vahid is one of the worst coachs who's ever taken the reigns of our national selection. 3 freaking years we wasted because of him, incapable that he was of creating a hint of team spirit...On the contrary, he created so many conflicts, expelling Mezraoui, and discarding Ziyech, among other idiotic decisions. So, no, he was the one and only cunt in this story...
I also like how you asserted that all our players learned football in France...Oh really?

Dude you seem to know as much about football as your lardass king M6 knows about women...
What is the point in talking to someone who doesn't understand what Vahid brought to your team ? Yes he discarded players, because that is what coaches do. He built a team with what he had so you could qualify. Without Vahid you're not even in the tournament. He is responsible of the best thing your team ever did but feel free to stick your head in the sand if you cannot accept this fact...

A gratuitous attack on another nation's king; an incomprehensible and, frankly, laughable support for Vahid, the obscenely incompetent coach...You're a specific breed...A French-Algerian, possibly?

Talked to my Argentine friend earlier. I reassured him that much like Croacia, Argentina is here for a reason.
They have a lot of heart and despite analysts overanalyzing them, they deserve to be here. Every game can be micro analyzed and here we are.
Argentina is an outstanding position and I hope we continue to see them play well and advance.
And despite this thing about Messi dependency, this team is better build and more tactically sound than the last teams. They are the champions of America. They can get it make it happen.
