OT: World Cup 2022

[kanadalainen]

World Cup Sunday, who you got? I'm going with Messi and the Argentine's. If this is his last one it would be a great send off

Yes - I like Argentina. France is loaded and their strikers are playing superb games but it would be terrific to see Messi wreak some havoc.

EDIT: Argentina putting a lot of passes into the box. Looking good so far! France is so dangerous... a free kick headed by Giroud just barely misses.

 

[kanadalainen]

Well now, Messi gets to take this penalty.


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

Argentina draw first blood on a PK with Messi taking it. They have controlled the first 25 minutes

 

[Channelcat]

Penalty kicks are stupid. That's like having a penalty shot in hockey with no goalie.

 

[kanadalainen]

Its a dive festival with a fair number of offside calls - holy cats.. this is a busy ref!

 

[kanadalainen]

Holy shit what a great little chip pass by Messi and a killer goal.

Holy shit what a great little chip pass by Messi and a killer goal.

Absolutely brilliant football

 

[SM]

My goodness France looks sleepy.

 

[kanadalainen]

Giroud subs out. Crazy.

 

[bustamente]

That's some interesting changes by the French before the half

 

[surixon]

France looks awful

 

[bustamente]

I guess we will find out at the end of the game if France was a team hit by a virus or they were simply outplayed by Argentina. They have done nothing in this final

 

[kanadalainen]

Not sure what France is up to. The manager looks to be in a cold sweat.

Half the forwards on the Jets still wouldn't score!

 

[bustamente]

Not sure what France is up to.

Just looks like they ran into team that just wants it more

 

[kanadalainen]

Just looks like they ran into team that just wants it more

Yeah, true! This game seems to feature a significant psychological component.

 

[bustamente]

Drama

 

[kanadalainen]

Mbappe with the nice penalty.

Game on

Holy Jesus - tie game

 

[bustamente]

Mbappe x 2

 

[flyingkiwi]

GAME ON!

France equalise.

 

[surixon]

Completely not deserved the way they have played.

 

[bustamente]

Deschamps looked like he was going to cry a few minutes ago

France definitely on the front foot now

 

[kanadalainen]

I hope this doesn't go all the way to penalties.

 

[flyingkiwi]

I'm torn, I want Messi to get his cup more than I want France to go back to back, but I also really want to experience France winning while I live here.

Either way there will be damaged done in the streets of French cities
