If Messi loses this

I am not sure he will ever be able to come back from the disappoinment.

From the disappoinment he suffered in Baca where his team led by 4 goals only to lose in the second leg, to the ones he endured in PSG recently.

I am not sure he will be able to come back.

Good luck to him and Mpape.

Lamasta:
Oga na everyman to himself now o

Bruv, I know but they are all humans.

Human feeling go still dey.

How Mpape and Messi go greet each other for Club now.

If Messi don't win this cup, I am not sure he will not be able to look at Mpape the same.

Oboy shit don catch me

Which kind world cup be this.

Well france gave it a good go

France only needs a good counter.

That's their bread and butter.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Somehow I feel this final is scripted.

I still can't believe this Argentina team played France for over 70 minutes.

E be like say France come soji, come decide to burst the plan.

France for the win!

Which script?

This is exactly how Argentina played through out the tournament. They play a high pressing game that dominates midfield for 60mins before getting tired they will now rely on occasion solo run to sustain their attacks.

French on the other don't press at all, hence even England and Morocco dominated France in their game. They rely on counter attacking football

The problem with Argentina game is players who are not used to playing the high pressing game in their clubs become tired after sometime.

greatdeal1408:
France leading phycologically

Argentina morals are down ...

Argentina are tired physically and psychologically.

But anything is possible in football because they will realize that the game is there to be won.

Argentina will be pressing like they are high on sugar for 60 mins forgetting the game is still 90mins

They will now be running around like old women for the remaining 30 mins

They played exactly the same way throughout the tournament.

I know Argentina can't sustain that high pressing game

kingmaster2009:
Morroco came from.no where and reach semi final


Is Morocco an Africa nation....they are not member of the AU

Morroco is bonified member of African union and were looking forward to join Ecowas at a point because of their Southern part called Western Sahara

They wanted to join Ecowas for economic reasons and preventing western Sahara from gaining independence.

A team that plays African cup of nations and qualified from Africa is at the Semi finals of the world cup.

This is saying top four in the world right now.

Congratulations to Morroco, Arab world and the African continent.

If Morocco can't score one more goal, I believe they struggle to qualify.

I don't think Morroco can survive this

They are struggling to win second balls and 50/50 chances.

Christane:
all what u just said all sum up to one thing which is not matter d greatest Messi and Ronaldo av achieve in football or in life in general dat they re still human ...everybody av dis traits

so we should not judge dem for it cus no one his perfect

Exactly!

Just because they are fantastic players doesn't mean they are no longer human being.

Penalty na luck oh

Gangster1ms:
Messi is very perfect at hiding his true colours and has very excellent PR.
Because CR7 is outspoken many mistake him for being arrogant and Messi the angel

Ronaldo is proud and Messi has anger issues.

Ronaldo believes he is the best to happen to football and Messi often gets aggressive and angry when things don't go his way.

Both have hidden themselves well because Ronaldo is actually a generational talent and things often go Messi way because he is also a generational talent.

Anyone who's not caught in the Messi/Ronaldo world know this.

yinkeys:
I have a question

How do these elite Euro teams do so well under pressure

Croatia now Holland
Close to packing their bags they fought hard & made the comeback

Wow Super Eagles no fit be like this o

@ bolden

They have elite football academies and strong league that continue to produce tried and trusted players unlike what we have in Africa.

pargelenis:
How did Messi/Argentina allow the Dutch to equalize like this?

Argentina waste too much energy playing high pressure pressing early on in every game.

The exhaust too much energy and finish the game too tired and exposed.

Check out all their games and you will see the same pattern.

Na just today God wan catch them.

Argentina use so much energy to press opponent earlier in the match that they tend to always finish the match weaker than they started.

Obanje wan use Morocco test run that last minute.

Smashspesh:
Enrique is clueless.
How do you bench Carvajal for that kid, called Llorente on the right back?

Spain is playing 11 midfielders.

And three number 10s in the front.

This Brazilian coach and this old man Sha.

Emu4life:
How did Costa Rica beat Japan?

By beating them at their own game.

The Costa Rican side also scored Japan on a counter.

They sat back throughout the game and break on the counter.

Evilblakman2:
You have data Google about Japanese formation and tactics
I no like to argue

Bruv, I am telling you that this is exactly how Germany won majority of their World cups.

Germany were know to be a precise counter attacking team until recent years.

The Japanese also keep a high line of defense, so they rely on midfielders to track run of players like Kramric and Modric from the midfield who are trying to break that high line.

Evilblakman2:
Rohr Abeg abeg
Japanese tactics not like anything from Europe it’s there own formations and tactics

That's how Germany always play before they started the "total football" thing.

Germany was a counter attacking side that are very hard to break down.

Germany counter attack was so precise that you could be dominating the game against them and be loosing by 5 goals.

joelsteron:
Croatia out.
Halftime. Japan to go for their tea and yoga

I'm enjoying Japan game style. It's the advance Rohr style of play with better tactics.

Nigeria don't do pressing like the Japanese

That their high pressure pressing requires technique and dedication.

It's hard work.

Gwan2:
You know the problem and you didn’t publish it, instead you decided to live with it and accepted it as your fate. I’ve published some of the problems and still researching on more to publish. Paul planted, Apollo will water

You really think you are first person to figure out that their problems in Africa?

Same shit people have been talking about since 60s.

hermesprogidy:
I can see all you self hating slow pokes are up and about. An African country looses a football match and all of a sudden blacks are useless. If your life is useless, leave other black people out of it. Australia lost yesterday nobody said whites are useless. Germany did not make it out of the group stage, I didn't hear anyone slating whites. Dumb mother fuckers, the French team you are having orgasms over is 90% black, but people quickly forget that.
Stop playing betting una no go hear. Tear your tickets and go sleep. God bless Senegal, God bless Africa.

A men, bruv

Charley2020:
It was the second game I think - - the one that ended 3-2

It was their first game at the world cup.

Charley2020:
Nope. Did you watch Ghana's match against Portugal? They almost equalised - - something that Senegal wouldn't have been able to do.

The first game?


Even saudi arabia beat Argentina In their first game.
