Deschamps must have gone utterly nuts at half time. Total change and he deserves credit.

OK men, here’s the plan.  Continue to play like crap for the next 30 minutes and then we’ll turn it on.

They weren't exactly good until the penalty though. They were better following the change but this feels like an Argentina collapse rather than anything else

Directly from source:

An indirect free kick is awarded if a player:
[…]    •    initiates a deliberate trick for the ball to be passed (including from a free kick or goal kick) to the goalkeeper with the head, chest, knee etc. to circumvent the Law

So what constitutes a ‘deliberate trick?’

Ferdinand letting recency bias get the better of him. Already calling it the best final he's ever seen.

We talked about it the other day, but every WC final since '86 where Argentina also conceded two after being up 2-0 was kind of dreadful from entertainment standpoint.

That's basically flicking the ball up via kick ups and then heading or chesting it back.

Kneeling down to knock a ball that's already on the floor isn't a deliberate trick

I'm only 30 but the ones I can remember have mostly been a bit meh really

This is one of the better ones, but lets be honest, for the most part it hasn't been great either.
