France v Argentina round of 16 match thread

[MC Prussian]

What are the odds of Dybala not playing again?

 

No true striker on the pitch for Argentina - I hope it doesn't backfire...

You know I’m talking purely for football reasons Max 

But while you’re at it, don’t forget the Falklands 

Haha, fair play Muzz.

Few years back, I once sat speaking to an old dude in a pub, he must have been in his 90's I reckon. Can't even remember what the conversation was about but he said 'never forget the French are the real enemy' with such conviction, I've never forgotten it.

They're both loathsome footie teams if you're English so I don't really care if I'm honest.

Looks like France anyway from the start

And native Parisian's attitudes.

Come on Argentina.

 

 

Argentina have always been the Leeds of international football. Thuggish play and arrogant. Allez les Blues. 

[Wymsey]

[Max Wall]

Hahahahahaha watching the Argies fall apart is funny though.

[MC Prussian]

Argentina. 

What are these defenders doing on the pitch? Do they have brains at all?

Ok so now you need a goal Jorge how are you going to score with no striker?

I’m sure he’s got his reasons but I can’t understand why he doesn’t play Aguero. Blokes mustard 

Are we talking about Sampaoli? Thought it was Messi who chose the team and tactics.

I'm not supporting either really. Was attempting a funny response that's all.

Nah, I don’t really care either 

But like Webbo said earlier, I slightly detest Argentina more.

 

[Tuna]

Rubbish, wasted opportunity.

Wonder what his reaction is?..

"GIVE ME COCAINE"

[Wymsey]

Pogba is very over-rated.

Doesn't justify his hefty transfer fee that's placed on him imo.

Why has hating Argentina become so fashionable? Is it some kind of Brexit-inspired Falklands garbage?

[Brooksy]

Argentina are bollocks aren't they

[Kitchandro]

Tagliafico 

 

Every time he gets the ball he puts his foot on top of it, stops, then passes it backwards. Shocking footballer.

[TheUltimateWinner]

I hate Umtiti, he’s worse than Pepe and Ramos for play acting.

Goes back to their captain Rattin at the ‘66 World Cup and then obviously Maradonnas cheating in 86 and Simone getting Beckham sent off in 98. Nothing to do with Falklands or Brexit imo - purely footballing reasons

It's a famous football rivalry. It's like Leicester vs Forest. Unfortunately England are Forest.

I don’t think I’ve watched a game he’s played in where he hasn’t ended up rolling round on the floor over nothing.

 

Hes still young though so even if he isn’t worse now he has potential to surpass them 

[Kitchandro]

Ball across the 6 yard box - NO STRIKER TO TAP IT IN.

[MC Prussian]

Why do Argentina persist with crosses into the box from each side when they have nobody tall enough to convert from a header?

[coolhandfox]

It about time football start to take action against playing acring, fed up of players going down like they have taken a forearm smash!

 

As Huth would say 'Play on !!!!!'
