World Cup 2018

Annoying how "Dembele was shit" is common when pretty much the entire front 3 played just as bad. Why is it that Griezmann and Mbappe are free from criticism?

Argentina to win against Croatia, Croatia doesnt look that great, and they wont park the bus, meaning more space for Messi.

These are very small things you mention. VAR is currently the most needed thing and its disadvantages are peanuts to what its advantages are.

Are they though? I don't deny the justice factor at all. But it will fundamentally change the way defenders play, which is pretty damn big when you think about it.

French midfield getting shat on by Peruvians.

 

[pregra]

Peru are a very likeable team.

 

[El Gato]

Seriously, what's not to like about Peru? Amazing fans, amazing kits, playing good football with attitude. Lovely stuff.

 

[FCBfan22]

Peru are great.

Giroud is a shit footballer but can be highly effective. Might be the right decision to play him instead of Dembele.

Two dives by Mbappe. Dembele wouldn't have dived. : ^ )

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Mbappe's acceleration is insane. With and without the ball.

Giroud is a heading merchant. But very useful if you plan to use a lot of aerial passes and cross like crazy.

A great plan B striker, if you need a goal at the end of the game.

Umtiti channeling his inner Pepe

He is a useful Plan A striker for France because Griezmann likes to combine with a real #9 that occupies the central defenders. Players like Pogba and Mbappe also like it to have a target man for their forward passes, no matter if high or low.

Umtiti learned something from alba

Big chance for Peru there
