Mascherano and Messi are choosing the team not Sampaoli by the looks of things. He has no control over his players.

Switzerland are fairly solid too though, and perhapshave a few more potential match winners. It will be close, though I am of course cheering on the scandinavians.

Colombia are no pushovers but I expect England to win it by a goal or so as they are looking more like a team. More than a few hotheads among the colombians as well, might well cost them again

Aye dont get people dismissing the Swiss so easily, they showed against Brazil and Serbia that they will hang in there and grind their way to a result.

Will they win it probably not but you will have to work fucking hard to beat them.

As for the eventual winners, in the last world cup people remember Germany 7-1 semi final, they forget they were ropey enough in the group and should have lost to Algeria in last 16. One of the big guns will start clicking into gear in the next couple of games, just dont know who it is yet!

I think it’s actually a better move for Argentina with the shape .. As Dan says, France will probably winning unconvincingly such is the way they have played. They’ve got the quality to slaughter Argentina though

 

[Freddeno]

Noway, leaving out two world class strikers...never a good thing to do

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Higuain hasn't scored for Argentina in over 18 months and is a serious big game bottler. He doesn't deserve to be in the team.

Dybala's lack of gametime is a mystery.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Two massively underperforming teams. France should be so much better than they are.

I expect a French win in extra time or on penalties. I am not expecting a classic.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Most obvious penalty ever.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nailed on pen. Rojo is fucking shit.

Mascherano looked like Peter Reid chasing after Maradona there.

 

[Boozad]

Brilliant from Rojo. Fucking bellface.

 

[Jack Regan]

What is Rojo doing there? He's running away from goal and probably out of play.

 

[YoungWolf]

Goal here from the pen and France could really kill Argentina on the break for the rest of this game

 

[Jinky]

Park defending from Rojo

 

[Nando]

The state of that!

Absolutely incredible pace though.

 

[Alan]

Mbappé has the lot. What a player.

 

[Alan]

Awful penalty, too. Armani just guessed wrong.

 

[Jack Regan]

1-0 Rojo hero to twat in the space of 20 footballing minutes.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Excellent break from Mbappe but Rojo was an absolute shitehouse, and Mascherano was towing at least three caravans.

France could do some damage here now. Let's hope so as I want Diego to be bawling like a baby when the camera pans to the drug-addled cunt.

 

[Nando]

Awful penalty, too. Armani just guessed wrong.

Not really. The keeper went far too early so made it easy for him.

This is why the Garth Crooks mentality of "if a defender scores he is good" hasn't properly translated to actual football.

Scandalous that Rojo is still getting games on this kind of stage and that he's still at Man Utd, I'm not sure I've ever seen him have a good game.
