I can't stand when some fans come in & say others talk bad about him or make some proclamation about how great he is, like every well thinking reasonable football fan hasn't basically already crowned him the best player of his generation, since he was like 20.
Doesn't change the fact that his...
He definitely should lol.
When he was at Barcelona his heart was divided, at PSG, he knew he was just collecting a pay check, could give it all for Argentina.
A blessing in disguise for him.
Those couple of month he took off since being at psg has really paid dividends, when some said he was phoning it in for psg to save himself for the WC they doubted us.
He's gonna go all in to win the CL & after that if I were PSG I'd let him go, he's gonna just start chilling again, lol.
Fact that Otamendi played well, but at the end of the day was the reason France got any momentum so it got that close in the end, is Otamendi in a nutshell, he's a good defender, but eventually he will fuck something up.
That fact that he'll literally won everything for his country at every level, just makes him even more of the goat, no one hole anyone can find in his CV.
But some thought, Barcelona/Messi fans were worried XYZ player may affect his legacy.
It was a very cardio man this place, about 3 genuinely good games, where he had all the space in the world, 2 solid ones & got poorer in the games he was denied space, but kept running & running & running regardless.
Gotta admire his stamina.
If he goes to European club level, he'll probably get found out, his subs don't really affect the game positively or they're too late, but can't take away from what he's done, incredible stuff.
Team of the tournament for me.
-----------------Martinez
---Joranovic----Romero-----Gvardiol----hernandez
---------------Amrabat
----------Modric---------enzo
-----------------messi
--------Mbappe-------------Alvarez
There was no team in the world that is levels better than Argentina, they have there weaknesses especially in defense, with Otamendi & none of their fullbacks are WC, but levels above nah.
Think about the fact that Kane chocked when he has to take 2 penalties, puts into prospective how great he was for putting those two away.
Levels to this.
