Blueliner Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 We’ve got a game now. Both teams are getting after it. Neither wants to go to PKs. I think that this ends in extra time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 France is making the have-to plays. Ties it down 2-0. Argentina misses golden chances around the 105 minute mark. Just seems fated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueliner Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’m sitting at a Mexican restaurant in Knoxville sipping on margaritas and eating some damn good carnitas. Lots of people here. We’re watching the game and it’s on Telemundo. Andres Conte is the announcer. Nobody can understand a word( except for the staff), but the place is on the edge of it’s collective seat. Now we’ve got PKs.

15yds4gibberish Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Holy shit! I got a phone call, so I had to go on pause. Just catching up. What a game! Edited to add: A pair for Messi. Hat trick for Mbappe. Shame to end in PKs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueliner Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 THAT…was a great game. Soccer probably gained a lot more fans after this one. Argentina beat the defending champs in an epic tilt to the death. Bravo gentlemen 👏 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsatisfying end to a great match. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Wow. Amazing game. Still think France and Brazil are the best teams but it's the world cup and anything can happen. I'll say this though. The offsides and penalty rules seem to work differently for different teams and I hate how inconsistent they are.

Then again people almost always consider best offensive players as best in the world, but I think defenders and mid fielders don't get as much "goat" credit as they should. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe may not be the best technical player (although still better than most), but when it comes to power, speed, agility, and finishing ability, is there anyone better? I don’t think so either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offsides and penalty rules seem to work differently for different teams and I hate how inconsistent they are. I agree with you that Brazil was great. They had a weakness that Argentine and France don't have , lack of shooters to make those scoring plays and finish it. They can control an entire match but fail to put it into net. France can be outplayed, but they have such great individual talent that any number of guys are so dangerous . Argentine imop plays as a team as well as Brazil , but their attack seems better with more players able to make and finish it in the net . Messi's time, and rightfully deserved, cementing him as goat up until this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I will turn the sport over and won't watch for the next 4 years , until the World Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
