Man for man they don't but they still have Messi (who is like 2 players), Alvarez, Fernandez.ValleyGary said:
France have Giroud, Griezmann, Dembele etc.CAFCsayer said:ValleyGary said:Think France still have a gear to go up. Do a job on Messi, which I think France have the calibre of players to do, and they win.
We said that about Mbappé, which we did, and still lostI don’t think Argentina have that quality.
They've also changed their lineup every game, which to me is quite unusual as a side progresses through a tournament so Deschamps will be kept guessing.0 -
The 3rd/4th place playpff is a crap idea isn't it?
Why do they bother?3 -
I assume both itv and bbc will be showing the game.
Any time messi gets the ball Lineker and ferdinand will be drooling like hungry dogs.
Messi might make a simple pass to alveraz within their own half as they try to build a counter attack
It will be described as the most elegant beautiful pass you could possibly imagine which makes it very clear messi is better than Ronaldo and maradonna put together!
GOAT - no question1 -
Between 70 and 74 they had a third place game in the FA Cup.North Lower Neil said:The 3rd/4th place playpff is a crap idea isn't it?

To determine who finishes 3rd. They’ve had it for about 80 years. It’s nothing new.North Lower Neil said:The 3rd/4th place playpff is a crap idea isn't it?

A 32 team club world cup in 2025 🤯
A 4 team confederation competition as well, who is running FIFA the ICC?0 -
Indeed, they've had about 80 years to realise no one cares and drop it.JaShea99 said:

I’m sure Croatia and Morocco care. But yeah, it doesn’t affect us in any way so “no one cares”.North Lower Neil said:

I doubt they do, personally. I certainly didn't care in 2018 and couldn't remember the score (beyond knowing we lost) until I just looked it up.JaShea99 said:

Even the players probably just want to get home after the disappointment of losing the semi final and time away from their families.
Do you really sit at the end of the Euros thinking "yes, good final, but I really wish I knew who came third"?!4 - Sponsored links:

Especially as this World Cup is in the middle of the season for the players, who have clubs to return to.North Lower Neil said:

Imagine if you're a favourite like England or Belgium, the thought of having to play again must be rubbish, especially having gotten so close to the Final - For someone like Morocco, they probably didnt expect to get out of the Group Stages, people talked about it being Modric's last chance to win the World Cup... Did he really stand a chance, or is 3rd a great achievement for a Nation the size of Croatia, especially when it confirms that four years ago was no fluke.2 -
I think Morocco will be well up for it tomorrow but are carrying a few injuries. Wouldn’t be shocked if Croatia don’t turn up the some of the reasons laid out above.1
-
I think you'll probably see a few changes to each side. Players who were pushing themselves despite carrying knocks and playing through injury to get to a final, probably now won't be so bothered when they know the game is meaningless and they'll be back at their clubs in a few days.0

Morocco will definitely be more up for this than Croatia1

If morroco win then they've officially gone further in a world Cup in comparison to England throughout the last 56 years.
We've never reached 3rd0 -
I hope they do their country proud and
keep building themselves up from here.
They made the 2022 world Cup a tad more special2 -
Said it before, I don’t care for the politics surrounding it all, but this has been a cracking World Cup.4

Saudi Arabia beating Argentina.
Japan putting Germany out.
Neymar scoring a great goal to apparently win a game and them then losing it.
Netherlands' free kick.
Messi turning Gvardiol inside out in a Semi Final to set up a goal.
And sadly Harry Kane saying that penalty.5 -

Much prefer a summer World Cup. The staging in Qatar has been pretty ludicrous but ultimately money is what counts.
FIFA is a dreadful organisation.0 -

I'd bet that a lot of people would have to google what happened in our third place matches in 1990 and 2018.0 -

I have a total blank on the 3rd play off match in 2018 but I have a vision of Peter Shilton making a mistake with his feet and England losing to Italy in 1990 ?
A sign of old age when you remember 1990 3rd match game rather than 2018 !

What a great goal.0

That wasn't as good0

That was even better.1

Absolute scenes. If that was tomorrow that would cause a riot.0
