    Thats reducing advanced to pays better which leads to a better competition. How many of the players who play for Argentina and Brazil are not youth products of argentinian and brazilian football academies? They do make some advanced footballers there. They just choose to move on to the better...

    he wasn't really right at any point, the argument you make on what dictates WC winners makes a lot more sense than footie not being advanced in South America lol.

    Banter is great, but didnt Mbappe score 3 pens out of 3 against him in one game? Must be some kind of WC record :D

    I think a lot of people do, probably more than before. Imo the sports washing campaign wasnt successful, their rep must be even worse than in 2012.

    Its okay to do a lot of topics, but how many lgbtq+ are there even in qatar? There're 313k qataris and 2.3m foreigners, most of whom choose to go there. We're talking about what, the rights to practice sexuality for ~10k lgbtq persons there? The migrant worker issue is just so much larger it...

    They won 2018 with a Kante-Pogba-Matuidi midfield, all experienced champions at that point that had learned from the 2016 final. This time they went with a double pivot of Rabiot-Tschouameni and both were completely dominated by de Paul-Fernandez-MacAllister.

    Great final. Mbappe from his 1st goal onwards was crazy good. I thought Messi was rather poor for his own standards, he's not the same player that willed Argentina to the finals in 2014. Losing that ball for the french equalizer was a terrible mistake from an experienced player.

    I hadnt seen a lot from Tschouameni, but had heard a lot about him. Both him and Rabiot are having an absolute stinker here

    This can still be turned around if France shows up, 2:0 isnt impossible to overturn. Maybe they need Paredes subbed in, argies are absolutely molesting them in mid so far.

    First Dembele, now Tschouameni, who is the next french youngster to get schooled, Mbappe? :P

    VAR isnt there for checking though, its only usable for obvious errors. If there was contact that caused the tripping (Id have to see a better replay to be sure there was), VAR really cant intervene there even if its a soft pen.

    To me it did look like Dembele accidentaly tripped him from behind, but hard to tell 100% from the replays that were shown.
