  1. Least surprising thing in the WC, especially after the Netherlands match.
  2. Rabiot back helps France, Upamecano back hurts France. Not sure di Maria back in does Argentina any favors based on his earlier performances.
  3. The less said about their midfield (and Dembele) the better, but France's backline have been quite good tonight. Konate, Kounde, and Varane have all saved an almost certain goal. Lloris done his part too.
  4. Dembele finally off, not sure how/why he keeps getting the nod.
  5. Such a dumb foul. Think that (giving up dangerous FKs when there's no threat) would drive me mad more than just about anything as a manager.
  6. No. He has been fantastic when he plays. We'd like to keep him playing.
  7. That, but even when does, they're getting outnumbered wide. Should sub Dembele for a midfielder.
  8. Nah, their midfield is a problem. Losing Rabiot is about the last thing they needed. Surprised Deschamps prefers Fofana to Camavinga.
  9. Especially pens. Entirely convinced eliminating pens, as we know them, would be the single best change that could be made to the rules. A yellow on Boufal is wrong, but there's no way that should be a pen either. In a sport where goals are hard to come by, ticky-tack fouls anywhere in the box, regardless of situation, resulting in a 75-80% of a goal is just crazy.
  10. Morocco lucky to still be in it with this defending, but France aren't exactly convincing defensively either.
  11. Call that a makeup no call. That's closer to red than nothing.
  12. Don't they? Lucky this isn't over inside 17 minutes on account of ridiculous defending.
  13. Haven't seen as much of Gvardiol, but think I'd take Saliba over him, based on what I've seen.
  14. Tbf, you can't exactly drop off Messi either. If he's on, and getting your defenders isolated 1v1, you're probably in trouble regardless.
  15. Thought that was a mistake when I saw the team sheet. Then subs him at halftime when chasing. Does he even know the player(s) at his disposal?
  16. No clue what they're doing at the back, but Kramaric no longer playing an invisible 9 should improve Croatia's chances of scoring.
  17. Idk why anyone takes corners over Perisic. He's just about as good as anyone, with both feet, which is tactically significant.
