The Official FIFA World Cup 2022 Megathread

The pitch for WC final isn’t the best, France look mentally fucked had two games where they’ve been pushed to the limit whereas Argentina coasted on Tuesday

 

[Dire Wolf]

Commentator said France had been struck by a virus in the week and they are playing like I look when I try to work suffering with the flu...

 

[Dire Wolf]

What a goal. Brilliant.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's a fabulous goal.

 

[Jack Regan]

Argentina winning this tournament is a massive failure on the part of 31 other countries.

 

[Banjo]

What a goal that is

 

[Alan]

Argentina winning this tournament is a massive failure on the part of 31 other countries.

They scored that goal and this is your first reaction??

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Beautiful.

I'm not sure about this at all, there have been times where they have looked very, very good. If they win it, they have earned it, they'll have beaten both of the finalists from the last World Cup.

It's got the ring of truth to it, they've been rubbish. Second best everywhere.

 

[Johnny75]

Interesting sub

 

[Alan]

Rabiot was apparently bedridden during the semifinal.

Giroud off? Brutally harsh on him.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rabiot was apparently bedridden during the semifinal.

Probably got his Mom to look after him, the Oedipus weirdo.

That's one of the worst World Cup final performances ever from Dembélé.

I feel like I don't want to know more about this, but also do...

 

[jd1981]

France have been atrocious Hernandez and Dembele with some epically crap performances

 

[Alan]

Neither of them are hot enough to make it worth it.

 

[jd1981]

France not registered a single effort on goal

 

[Dire Wolf]

I think that 2nd goal is the best goal of the tournament. I just love team goals like that, slick passing, good running off the ball, everything working perfectly as a team. Wonderful.

 

[sycophantia]

Well that's surprised me, at half time in our quarters I thought the cup winner was coming from that game, the 2 best teams at that point. Argentina have improved every game and are bossing this, France have been poor.
Never a penalty, Di Maria initiates the first (minimal) contact, then trips himself.
Looks like the romantics are gunna get what they want.

 

[Alan]

I expected France's midfield to be challenged, I didn't expect Argentina to totally dominate them like this, though. Men against boys in the center of the pitch.
