    The good guys won. I predicted Argentina winning it all and I was right, before tournament started mind you. Argentina dominated the game from the start to about the 80th minute and it wasn't just all about Messi. Di Maria was great, Alvarez worked his boots off, Mac Allister looked like Messi at times and De Paul was incredible. Argentina's midfield 3 were tremendous. The whole team's positioning, tactics, willingness to run, press, cover for each other, win the ball back quickly and right away switch from defence to quick attacks was a pleasure to watch. Scaloni is a much underrated manager

      The owners of Qatar bought PSG and then the right to host a World Cup. After a lot of money, thousands of lives lost and several refereeing errors, the final of the tournament is decided between two selections whose main players "coincidentally" belong to... PSG.
      Five (5) stolen penalties for Argentina, almost all when the game was still tied (Saudi Arabia, Poland, Netherlands, Croatia and France). Lionel Messi, the FIFA protégé, scored 4 goals from penalties, all of them badly kicked, and 3 goals unmarked. When Neymar or Vini Jr. they start to dribble, then they are fouled. When the test-tube baby Messi starts scratching on the ball with his short legs, no one dares to touch the figurine. He put his hand on the ball, Maradona style, but did not receive a yellow card. He detracted from Weghorst and van Gaal, showing how false his reputation as "humble" is (they confuse a lack of personality with humility).
      Another coincidence: Modric was a tiger against Brazil and a little bunny against Argentina. He entered the field just to ask for an autograph. Humiliating. But then he returned to play well against Morocco.

    Why are you questioning Deschamp’s tactics when it’s clear he found a way to adjust to Argentina’s gameplan by the 68th minute with a few tactical changes and substitutions. He went from playing Mbappe from Winger to 9, & back to winger in order to get him in the game. That was a masterclass from both coaches and all players with errors included leading up to the goals. Appreciate the spectacle we Just saw. What is there left to analyze? We just witnessed the greatest football match in recent memory.

    • @elchotocorazon
      @elchotocorazon Před rokem +2

      totally agree. France's attack is a trident with Giroud + Dembele + Mbappe, by taking out two of the prongs he centered all of the offensive power in the one with the most individual resources. And it was an good response to a great tactical game proposed by Scaloni. Exploiting the weak link (Otamendi) and freeing up Mbappe as a center forward. Not sure why do they give a voice to these guys with questionable football knowledge to say the least but there you have it.

      The only force that shifted the game was the ref. After awarding every foul and penalty possible to France from about the 75th minute, the Argentine defence got overly cautious and allowed France to play.

    Huge credit to Scaloni for his initial setup. Totally outmanoeuvred France. Very brave too, it sometimes looked like a 2-2-6. As predicted, Di Maria was key.
    France's depth is what saved them from getting shut out. As the ARG players grew tired towards the 70th min, FRA's top tier bench started taking over the match.
    Tired legs, tired minds, mistakes started to happen, leading to the PK and France's second goal as well. Argentina doesn't have the bench to counter that, and Scaloni refrained from making substitutions until extra time, other than the (likely planned) Di Maria sub for Acuna.
    The criticism for Randal Kolo Muani at the end was undue. It was a fine strike, just an even better save. He's been one of the revelations of the tournament for me. He barely had any minutes with France before the WC started, scored immediately when he was subbed on against Morocco, got the PK in the world cup final, almost scored another himself, and converted his shootout PK as well. I'm not sure how long Eintracht Frankfurt will be able to keep him!

  • @detonator2112

    Strange that nobody ever mentions penalty shootout and the tactics around it.
    Gonzalo Montiel has shot a lot of penalties for River Plate. Has never missed. Leandro Paredes has now shot 9 penalties. Never missed. Paulo Dybala has shot 26 penalties and scored 22. Those guys have been under pressure in similar situations many times. All ARG guys were regular penalty takers. Was it a coincidence that Paredes, Dybala and Montiel came in at the end? Nope.
    What France had? They walked young, inexperienced guys to the gallows. In the biggest event in the world. Guys that haven't shot penalties before. You saw it from their face that they were scared shitless. Giroud is a good taker, Griezmann not so good but at least those guys have tons of experience. They were already substituted.
    There was a HUGE advantage for Argentina and on top of that Emiliano Martinez who is a known penalty shootout goalie.
    If you follow football a bit deeper you'd known that the game was over before the shootout.
