Good luck Leo, vamos :redbeard:

Agreed 2014/15 is easily a top 3 season. And probably it is not #3 or #2..

He's better than 2014, let's see if he can deliver in the final

I haven't followed all these conspiracy theories that much, but if the WC is rigged, how on Earth did Croatia beat Brazil and rob the world of a semifinal between Brazil and Argentina? That would be a monumental event, billions of people would tune in. Even Morocco vs Portugal doesn't make that...

It is more than comparable, R9 in 98 was not only among the very best players in the world but has a claim for the best peak in history. It's like saying Argentina beating France without Mbappe. It would be a huge asterisk for the Messi haters.

It is really stupid to not count the final though. It is inarguably the most important moment of each WC. I get that they want to avoid being entirely affected by the „moment“ but in tight races (which means almost always in these 6-7 game tournaments), the final should play a (big) role on the...

I would regard myself a Ronaldo hater, but maybe the main reason those teams are considered legendary is CR himself

Been reading the 2014 thread and it is…interesting. The main talking point, even before the final was that Leo was suffering from fitness issues, the vomiting etc. Those were truly sad times. Many people said that he wasn‘t the same like 2009-2012 (which was true) and that there was probably...

4th WC final for France in the last 7 WCs btw. If the win, it will be the 3rd WC in the last 7 :rolleyes:

France looks really dangerous. Not unbeatable but surely formidable. But you have to beat the best to become WC

Let's HOPE

Curious question: I was only 9 years old in 06, so I can‘t really remember, so how does 2022 Messi compare to 2006 Zidane for the „GOAT old man WC run“?

Worried about the hamstring…Anyways, Argentina got the job done, Messi had an ok game (the assist was great though). Now it is the time we all had been waiting for..This is his chance. No one could imagine he would get to another WC final, aged 35, having without a doubt the best tournament of...

Vamos Leo

Who tf is Alexis?

Yeah sure, it is really easy to win the Copa and reach the semis of the WC, imagine what the team could have done without the little dictator :lol:

So you are implying that this Argentina team would do better without Messi? Even if the trained and were given sufficient time to readapt their gameplan without him

HUGE day for Leo tomorrow

It would be completely lame to see France beat Croatia…again. And completely tragic to see Leo and the Argies lose to France and Mbappe…again. As others said, Morocco have overachieved, but even if they make it one step further, it would be seen as a weak (potential) final for Argentina. Best...
