But i know i want France to beat the Argies,no doubt about that.
Great minds think alike old friend. ;)
Should be a good game...potentially.
I have a reliable football app that has published the officiall line ups. I can post it if you are interested?
I know the English have a strange, petty relationship with Argentina, but I am sure supporting them against this boring french outfit! Argentina are a mess... but at least an unpredictable mess compared to Deschamp's predictable, soul less Football.
It goes back to the Falklands War and has been there ever since.Its not petty,we lost a lot of good men defending our British islands and its inhabitants.
Goes deeper than football.
Indeed....i never support the French normally but against that scum they get my vote and yours me old pal ;)
Even though they supplied the Argies with Exocet missiles during the Falklands war,bastards.
The lesser of 2 evils in this case.
I know the history... But the thing is: If wars and men lost in battle is the theme, England should have far more rivals... all over the world...
We do...hardly the worlds most popular country,but we are talking about one event.
Yes, come on!
Can't see Argentina getting back in this. Go France!
What did Otamendi do there?!
Because they needed an extra midfielder to combat France's strength on the counter. Not that it helped much...
It sure didn't. Wonder if their neighbours in Uruguay can do the job against Portugal.
It will be an interesting game. Two of the most similar teams in the tournament, both basically designed for a knock out system with physically strong players with high stamina, well drilled in a defensive team unit, but with clinical goal scorers up front. Uruguay have been the better team so far in this tournament, but that was in group games against teams they were expected to beat and to take initiativ against organized defences. Both teams are better suited to sit behind and let the other team ductate the play (what Argentina should have done but where incapable of doing). France today showed how much a different game scenario can change a performance. We might se the same effect on Uruguay or Portugal. I expect a dull affair between two catious, patient teams where small details might be decisive. My money is on Uruguay to get there in the end.
Not that confident, but I hope Uruguay will win this one. Even if they are similar in many ways, I rather have the one without Ronaldo and Pepe progress, haha! If Portugal progress, I can just see them going all the way to the final, winning with a late goal. That wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Interesting from NRK regarding Jo Nesbø (writer of The Snowman), and brothers Petter and Nils Rudi's involvement in VAR:

(I guess Google translate gives an OK translation of this)
I think France with an in form Mbappe would get the better of them this year. And Brazil should be much better in a semifinal... Something different to Poland and Wales...
