Just needed to move inside. mind you, I’ve hardly even heard Pavons name so far. Pavon's been fine. He's doing what he's there to do, which is stretch the French defence.

Corvinus85 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 France needs to keep giving the ball to Mbappe. Argentina can't deal with his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Cracking goal from Di Maria. Argentina took control of the game after conceding and deserve to be level at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem much use when there’s no goal threat. One shot on target that half and there’s not exactly going to be 25 yard screamers set up very often.

Padraig Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 France look like the better team but threw away the impetus when they went ahead. Now we'll see they can bounce back from that blow. Argentina have shown resilience but haven't created much except for that wonder goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the issue is that there's two wingers and a false nine, so there's nobody in the box to cross to. I'd take Perez off and put on a proper striker, myself.

Consigliere Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If Deschamps was planning on a counter-attacking strategy then is was a bit pointless to put Giroud in the starting XI. Should have gone with Dembele-Mbappe-Griezmann up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon the Leaner Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This France line-up is a joke. Good luck at playing the counter with only Mbappé doing the runs. Matuidi as left winger... This Argentina team doesn't look better on a tactical POV, though. Messi plays both roles of "striker" and playmaker, which makes Albiceleste's attacks predictable. Great one from Di Maria though. Despite being french, I've had more joy watching Di Maria's strike than Griezmann's penalty (not to mention it's debatable in the first place…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Not sure that I’d agree that Argentina were ever in control. All they did at their best was put some crosses into nobody. Giving Argentina lots of the ball is in the French gameplan - drag the slow defence and midfield forward to create room for Mbappe in behind.

Consigliere Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Even better than Di Maria's. What a strike! Bet the big boys are looking very closely at Pavard. He's been impressive, mostly in a defensive capacity. France should have been playing on the from foot from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
