McBruce Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 To hear the announcers describe the 2nd goal, the preantepenultimate touch by Messi imparted a magic spell on the ball that made the three passes that followed fall perfectly…..next they will be giving him credit for the goal for making the only pass available to him.

Just not been punished by a good side. We missed a golden chance, Argentina aren't. Just so much space against France if you are comfortable at wanting the ball in central areas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
