    100% penalty. But Mbappe did exactly what Ronaldo did the other night and a lot of people think Ronaldo should have been given a red card!

    Argentina’s midfield selection is embarrasing. You can’t play France with no pace through the middle
  • ricky_ottoricky_otto
    Hope Argentina get smashed here.

    This defence can't deal with his pace
  • paulie8290paulie8290
    Argentina really cant handle the pace of France
  • Laddick01Laddick01
    Nice from Mbappe but Argentina are a very poor side.
  • paulie8290paulie8290
    Should that have been a red??
    Possible last man??

    The defence is even worse.

    No creativity either. Banega, Mascherano and Perez aren't going to do anything

    I think this first 20 minutes proves one thing - the conversation about how certain teams played in the group stages is mute. Knockouts are a different ball game. France playing like we had expected from the start. Imagine Spain and Brazil will follow suit

    Mbappe and Pogba have played well. But in all honesty Argentina are making them look like a much better side than they are

    I think France look well up for this - much more so than V Australia, Denmark and Peru.

    Mbappe is the most talented teenage footballer in the world. This slow Argentinan defence is made for him.

    Havent seen any of Maradona yet

    Just noticed Pogba has a normal hairstyle for a change. Strange he'd choose the biggest stage in football to do that, usually loves to show off. What are your thoughts Paulie? :wink:

    My thoughts exactly.

    Another couple of gems from the wacky world of Danny Murphy

    "people forget Messi is a great passer of the ball" ......Err do they?

    oh and in case you didn't realise;
    "Argentina are a different team to Barcelona" You don't say....

    I hope they ain't paying him for this stuff.

    What a hit! Out of nothing that.
  • TalalTalal
    Bullet. Another few lines for Diego after that.

    no Aguero, Higuain or (surprise suprise) Dybala. Never liked Di Maria (watch him score now) Pavon didn't particularly impress me from what I can remember.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing - given far too much space though!

    Reminds me of when Rooney ran an ageing Thuram ragged in 2004.

    Di Maria allowed to pick his spot there. Zero pressure.

    France really are all about the counter attack
  • JohnBoyUKJohnBoyUK
    Great strike but surely Lloris has to save that. He saw it the whole way?!
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    What are France going to do about Di Marie.
  • Laddick01Laddick01
    ‘Griezmann has been their best player,

    What game is Murphy watching?
