lol no words of having French referees between Argentina and Egypt?At least FIFA wouldn't do something mental like appoint a full team of Argentinians to officiate the game between France and Morocco.

WC 2010. Every game outside of Ghana vs Uruguay and the final was a snoozefest. One of the worst international tournaments I've ever seen. Too many teams playing defensively and tentative.
I think a deciding factor is how old one was during the WC. For me, 2006 and 2010 were the first real WCs, so I consider them peakYes 2018 another one, but there is almost nothing I can remember from 2010 outside of those KO matches I mentioned. Even Argentina vs Germany QF was really boring, despite historically their matches being absolute cinema.

1 more thing to add
This guy also gives examples of what folks are talking about and what I'm saying.
Argentina got the swing of almost every 50/50 call. How no one got even a yellow is something the ref can't fully explain
I mean, we can do the same. Replace Spain with Argentina and tell me your reaction.As porque alluded to replace Argentina with Madrid and tell me your reaction and many others on here.
Replace x team with Barcelona not getting calls and tell me your reaction.
I don't need to look far because we've seen them before.
Again not saying the calls decide the game yesterday but Argentina have been getting more of the 50/50 calls go there way than their opposition so far this tournament.
Call is the Messi effect, the big team effect whatever it's call it's pretty clear.
If the wasn't you wouldn't be having people making videos for and against it all over the Internet.
Because I'm a Messi fan and want him to him the WC doesn't mean I'm going to act as if everything has been called 50/50 when it clearly hasn't.
Thats why they shouldn’t be facing France in any shape or form imo. I also do fear for a humbling from England but not as much as from France. People will bump this post if/when Argentina beats Eng in the semis (which I’d be so so so happy because the GOAT reaches yet anothet final) but Spain should beat France for that to be a happy scenario. The only can-sleep-peacefully match up for me is arg vs spain in the final. I did want colombia in the quarters because I felt Arg will loose but not in a bad way. If you do love Messi, you’d want him to win the world cup again but you wouldn’t want him to go out in a humiliating fashion.Argentina are somewhat lucky that a ruthless side like 2014 Germany is not in this competition. With how they play, a 1-7 loss wouldn't have been out of the realm of possibility, with Argentina in the place of Brazil.
Dude looks like a cocaine trafficker in the 1970sSo glad that the Nati went through.
Murat Yakin is the GOAT aura farmer.
Hopp Schwiiz!

Or something like all 4 main referees and 1 additional (3 on the pitch and main VAR plus AVAR) to be French in the game between Argentina and Egypt?At least FIFA wouldn't do something mental like appoint a full team of Argentinians to officiate the game between France and Morocco.
With 39 years of age, competing against Haaland and Mbappe in their prime. You don't even know what is more impressive anymore.
