[AAABatteries]

Wow - what a counterattack

 

[The Kansas Comet]

What a counterattack! GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!

 

[The General]

Sacre Blue!

 

[CGRdrJoe]

beautiful

 

[encaitar]

Picture perfect counter attack. Couldn't draw it up better.

 

[brun]

That was amazing

 

[titusbramble]

That's a great goal

 

[The Kansas Comet]

I think there were 6 total touches on that counter. Fantastic.

 

[dickey moe]

Wow

 

[The General]

Total domination.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

That is my Platonic ideal of a counter.

 

[WDIK2]

That was really cool.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

We're either going to get sixty minutes of ****housing by ARG, or a 7-0 final. Or maybe even both.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Paging Mbappe. You going to join us?

They are getting overrun in the midfield. Deschamps needs a change at half if it stays 1-0.

I wonder if Rabiot is still feeling the effects of the virus. France are a step slow to everything.

 

[TLEF316]

Wow. Pulling Giroud down 2.

 

[culdeus]

Yeah weren't they all dealing with the ****s as recently as yesterday?

 

[The General]

Dembele was totally worthless

 

[HellToupee]

Giroud taking baby steps coming off

 

[Dr. Octopus]

This Messi guy. He’s good.

 

[AAABatteries]

The subs are fine but France needs a formation change in the back.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Dembele was totally worthless

Not to Argentina

 

[Zow]

Mildly surprised at the Giroud sub if they didn’t change formation. Dude scores goals.

 

[The Gator]

Dembele was totally worthless

He's been invisible for a while.

 

[AAABatteries]

Take Varane off and bring on another midfielder.

 

[The General]

France has put what 2 minutes of pressure on Argentina? Domination Station here.

 

[The Gator]

Also thought Camavinga would be coming on if they wanted to beef up the midfield.

 

[The General]

Get the **** up. Jesus

 

[culdeus]

Funky yellow there at the end

 

[AAABatteries]

I may puke as I type this but DiMaria with a MOTM first half

 

[The Z Machine]

France are so slow today. Looks like ARG has an extra player in the midfield, and then an extra on defense, and then when they break, there's an extra man on the counter. Totally overrun.

Mbappe inconsequential and Dembele looks like he was paid off to look like absolute dog ****.

 

[Major]

Wow, haven't seen Argentina dominate like this in a long time. They're running circles around France. They really played a perfect half.

@PaulCarr

France is the first team with zero shots in the first half of a World Cup final. (As far back as data goes, to 1966)

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

DiMaria with a MOTM first half

He is skinning every player on that side of the field. What a masterstroke putting him in there.

Did not see this coming, but ARG were absolutely dominant for 50 minutes. The passing from the Argies has been unreal too -- no matter how much pressure or how little time they keep finding a pass. Another 50 minutes away from a performance for the ages.

 

[The Z Machine]

I may puke as I type this but DiMaria with a MOTM first half

He has torched the right side of France's defense.

Like Scooby said - maybe these French illnesses are really affecting their fitness. Not taking anything away from Argentina but that was about as weak a first half as you’ll see from the French.

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

that second goal on the counter reminded me of maybe my favorite ever 30 seconds as a USMNT fan

(Let’s just forget about that 2nd half)

 

[Sasgaard]

The French team has been hit by the flu the past week with players taking turns being sick...looks like it has taken a toll on their stamina. They have no legs and slow as hell

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Sounds from a random window in Buenos Aires when AdM scored.

I’m expecting to find out some Argentinian hotties caught the flu on purpose and then made friends with the French team.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

The French flu bug apparently gave Argentina super powers too.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Lotta people in the primo seats beating the traffic I see...
-QG

 

[Jayrod]

Argentina is running and playing like this is the most important match of their lives.

France not so much.

 

[encaitar]

Di Maria came to play today. Best I've ever seen him play.

 

[The Z Machine]

Just poor all around for France

 

[Zow]

Does the whole team have the flu or something?

 

[Desert_Power]

Di Maria came to play today. Best I've ever seen him play.

Still surprised he finished that goal

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Does the whole team have the flu or something?

No, ARG is just overrunning them.

 

[AAABatteries]

Deschamps showing GGG-level stubbornness with his formation.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Ref is letting them play right now
