France vs Argentina (R16) - 15:00 - 30/06/2018

[Lord Camomile]

Well I'm certainly glad I didn't put any French or Argentina defenders in my FF team

 

[skyscraper101]

Wel I won’t miss seeing Di Maria, Messi, or fucking Maradona for the rest of this World Cup.

 

[editor]

Messi looks a broken man.

 

[editor]

I want slo-mo close ups of Maradona's face for every French goal. And the final whistle.

 

[J Ed]

Pogbas played some fantastic balls this game

Pogba is v good, really fun to watch

 

[binka]

Wonder if Mbappe will be playing in England next season?

Hope so. Don't care who for. PSG have some financial fair play problems so it could be a possibility

 

[Lord Camomile]

For all the rightful plaudits France are receiving, they did concede 3 goals against an Argentina side most thought were blunt.

 

[not-bono-ever]

what a game

 

[J Ed]

what a game

Not sure the match later on will be anywhere near as entertaining...

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Not sure the match later on will be anywhere near as entertaining...

Possibly for different reasons...

 

[Badgers]

Forgot I had a few quid on France to win in 90 mins

 

[editor]

Not sure the match later on will be anywhere near as entertaining...

It will be if Ronaldo gets sent off.

 

[not-bono-ever]

i think ronaldo will be the focus of some *robust* tackling

 

[not-bono-ever]

whats the atmosphere like in Russia frogwoman ?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I wasn't sure who that final Argentine chance fell to, but it bloody was Messi

 

[not-bono-ever]

Messi looks a broken man.

all the money in the world and he will never reach the heights of his predecessors now

 

[Badgers]

Messi looks a broken man.

He told me the money helps a bit

Got home from the school fair in time to watch the second half. PHEW WHAT A SCORCHER. Really enjoyed that, and glad to see a very classy looking France go through.

Twitter doesn't let you down at times like this:

whats the atmosphere like in Russia frogwoman ?

been at the free 'fan zone' area for a couple of games. actually really chilled atmosphere. i've not got much money so mostly watched the games at home but seen a lot of mexican fans, probably the most out of any nationality apart from russian.

 

[frogwoman]

if 'the worst' happens, then i'm supporting mexico. hopefully they win against brazil, brazil have been a bit shit and it seems the time for 'upsets' so hopefully it will happen.

Seems to have gone very quite media wise on Maradona.
The last game i see many comments complaining the cameras were focusing on him too much when he was in the crowd.
Then the camera went on him when he made a certain sign to the other fans when the Argies scored ha,
Mr Lineker was rather put out about it and made some comment about it.
The next time i see Diego was footage of him being helped to a chair by two stewards in a press room after the game since then not seen or heard anything of the little fella.

[May Kasahara]

Just watching the highlights again. Pavard's goal, just beautiful.

 

[May Kasahara]

And then double Mbappe
