Brazil was just missing a striker IMO. That and they got up the field when they didn't need to which cost them OT / shootout. I will say about Neymar, he gets the hack a Shaq treatment most games. Guy is fouled left and right, hard as ****, with many going uncalled. He sort of brought that...

Power, speed, finesse, creativity, shot power, etc the guy had it all. Mbappe reminds me of him in a lot of ways, but the original Ronaldo was just so **** physical and two inches taller. In today's game, nobody scares defenders more than Mbappe with the ball and that was true of Ronaldo back...

There was contact at the end, but the Argentine player was already initiating his dive. His body posture was falling forward. It was a weak as **** foul, there's worse stuff that goes on every corner or set piece. He sold the foul, dove, but that wasn't a PK foul in any game, let alone a WC...

He's not so much forward now like before. More of an CAM (center attacking midfielder) as he'll drift wide as well, and his passing ability is off the chain. Modric is the best distributor of the ball IMO through the last decade or so, but Messi is easily his equal when he's playing the role in...

I like it when players play through a foul, but the idea behind all that is you've lost your advantage or step and been pushed off your line, maybe even lost a step or three, so you drop. The imaginary fouls, I don't like them at all, but I understand them. There's sports toy can pick up and...

One goal lead in a big game is usually a winner. There's a reason there's only been one team (Argentina prior) to go down a goal and come back to win the final. France chases at that point Argentina just plays keep away like Spain did when they won 8 years ago. France didn't panic. Argentina...

No doubt. Even when he made his PK, you could just tell he was still thinking back to that moment. Kid runs like a gazeele, long legs, fluid, and fast. Had that shot slotted bottom right corner and the Argentine keeper snuffed it out. Was literally an inch away from heading home the Mbappe cross...

Dembele is fine as a player, but that a bad match up back there. Di Maria should win that most of the time. France has to be crushed by this loss. They shouldn't be, they gave it their all. Both teams had a lot of opportunities that didn't go. Still, they had a lot of firepower out with...

Fantastic game, absolutely. If Argentina was going to win it, I would've rather it been at the foot of Messi in regulation. Great player, respect his game, how can you not, but I'm not crazy about him like many are. Game should've been over in regular time though. First PK, Messi took and...
