World Cup 2018

[BenRobbins]

Mbappe, Griezmann, Pogba, Kante and Matuidi have all been class

Messi doesn't really in work anywhere in top matches because he is a lazy bum these days.

Yeah, tell that to Real Madrid.

They don't play as a team yet, but they are improving.

On the other hand, they have insanely good individuals (technical skills) and probably the strongest physical team (strength, stamina, pace).

Plus, they have 20 equally good players.

Haha you told us Germany had the best balance of 'physical' players etc now its France when first team in QF.

The ship has sailed for Argentina to win the World Cup. Their best chances was in 2014 and they were even lucky to reach the final on that year.

Messi cant play in midfield because he dont want to run


Messi cant play as false 9 with his lack of movement

What he can do then?

Argies chasing shadows...

Mbappe, Griezmann, Pogba, Kante and Matuidi have all been class

Kante had Messi in his pocket, Mbappe ruined Arg's defense, and Pogba ran the midfield in this game.

Nothing Messi could do today. They are absolute trash. Not Maradona in his prime would help them..

 

[serghei]

Yeah, tell that to Real Madrid.

Didn't they win 3 CLs in a row with Messi around? While we with Messi in the team were humiliated in Europe? Face the facts, Messi doesn't work at an optimal level and even medium defenders block him and isolate him with relative ease.

 

[vlad]

Yeah, tell that to Real Madrid.

2 matches in whole season

 

[D10S91]

Only thing left to hope for is a Messi goal..

 

[blaugrana1987]

Messi cant play in midfield because he dont want to run


Messi cant play as false 9 with his lack of movement

What he can do then?

He can play anything if his team is anywhere near competent, but this is horrid. Are you even looking? There are 2 players on Messi constantly at minumim, sometimes 3 even.

 

[JamDav1982]

Nothing Messi could do today. They are absolute trash. Not Maradona in his prime would help them..

Aye so he should just give up.

Messi been shite and movement awful again.

This WC shows how complete shite it is when folk make out Barca are just Messi and ten others being dragged along at Barca.

To be fair Messi didn't even score in the KO rounds of that WC. Not like he's ever made a massive impact in any Argentina WC matches

Pogba has impressed me, thought he was a bit of a nothing player with fancy tricks, thats my impression of him the few times i watched United, but then, perhaps United is struggling to get the best out of some of their players. Totally run the show today.

France actually looks solid and fairly good, i guess they upped their game since the group stages, which big teams often do.
