gvadiaol didn’t cover himself in glory against Argentina at all

Messi use am chop rice

Na Messi now, that's understandable, the Isi-ewu himself.

Normal

But we won’t use that to write off his sweet performance so far

nah, not at all. He has huge potentials

AndSunGorilla:
Exactly if Griezmann was that bad, why did Barcelona spend so much money to buy him from Athletico, for a long time he was the poster boy of Athletico Madrid's success. Now that he returned, Simeone and Athletico were intentionally giving him less minutes to reduce the money they would pay to Barcelona. I support you sir. Griezmann has always been class whether with the french team or anywhere, his only disappointing period was in Barcelona.

Period

Me sef weak same Griezzmann that didn't win spoon for France before the arrival of Mbappe is now indispensable?

So going by your logic, Mbappe singlehandedly won the 2018 WC and singlehandedly carry them to this year's final. Great...just great

typicalgamer:
Oga relax

Griezeman doesn’t hold a candle when compared to mbappe in 2018 till date since 2018 there’s never been a year where griezeman is better than mbappe both for club and country

Griezeman is a dispensable asset
Mbappe is a national treasure that’s how it is.

Griezeman is a failure and has always been until 2018 when mbappe showed him the limelight.

Ask the entire world who to drop out of the French squad griezeman or mbappe and you’ll have your answer.

Aside from Lionel Messi and Chris

Nobody is on the same stratosphere as mbappe.

Big game player

Who do you think will replace Grizzy in that french team? France can bench mbappe and there won't be a slight drop in their team quality.

charlesemeka85:
because they hv more serious minded players who are ready to work hard to improve their game unlike our players who once they get signed to any European club they become too lazy and lackadaisical with no hunger to improve in order to attract bigger deals

No be our own maestro wey since em leave for Europe over 6 seasons ago but yet to achieve anything tangible na wey we Dey here dey hype and make excuses for every year?

I've not done a study but from a very perfunctory glance.

I think there may be more players from Cote De Voire than there are Nigerian in the EPL.

Considering that Nigeria has a historical colonial legacy with the British that seems strange.

I've often wondered are there more black people or rather African origin people in France than there are in the UK ��❓ Anytime I look at the French team it's no longer a debate it's African and not even mixed heritage but pure blooded African.

I've been to France several times and I really cannot tell

Meanwhile see Wahala for Argentina, Benzema is back from injury and could play against Argentina.

They Argentina will not be happy at that news

Benzema

Good old days.

If Benzema is back, they should keep him on the bench, no way he would be match fit so that another Lukaku episode doesn't happen. No point rushing anyone from injury. The only concern for France is that Giroud looked injured and I heard Rabiot was very sick.
Btw does anyone know if any of France or Argentina's players will miss out cos of accumulated yellow cards?

Bro if benzema is fit to play let him start

Dt name alone will send shivers to d spine of Sargentine defenders

Besides,a benzema on d pitch in his normal day can do and undo

LOL. Do you wanna put your money?

It’s Argentina 2 France 1 final score.


O pari

The Bad news is that France is going to Flog Argentina 3-1

You absolutely correct but no matter how good a player is, match rustiness is for real, I don't believe he would be as sharp as he should be or even match fit.
Also I would think that if Benzema starts Giroud might have to be sacrificed right. Giroud's aerial ability would worry the short Argentine defenders.

caprikon:
It's remarkable how the French have managed to get the best out of their present golden generation ..on the verge of back to back world cup titles.

Germany was unfortunate that their recent golden generation peaked about the same time with that of Spain. England hasn't done badly but Belgium been a let down.

I hope this our NFF can learn a thing or two from these countries.

So how then can it be said that Deschamps is akin to Rohr.

What did Rohr do with the talents he had at his disposal? I'd tell you what he did. He kept on undermining the players by telling them they came to the world cup to learn. At other times, he cried it up that we did not have players like Okocha and Kanu dem that can match Modric or Messi.

You see what Morocco has achieved? Did you see how Herve Renard charged up the Saudi Arabians? Go watch our world cup 94 match against Italy. When the camera panned towards Westerhof the commentator said: "this is Westerhof, Nigeria's coach. He said that he's here to win the World Cup".

If Deschamps did it by trial and error the first time, qualifying for a final back to back (regardless of outcome of the final on Sunday) firmly shows that he's not as limited as we are made to think.

AndSunGorilla:
Remember he is still 23, still has at least 7 to 8 years to do a lot. Right now I agree with your categorization but there's still good time for him to step up.

Exactly.

daveP:
Hearing the origin of Dribbling has changed my mind about it. Blacks must do to make sure it never ever gets extinct in the world of football. Mtchewww.

What's the origin you heard?

chrisooblog:
I see you cleverly ignored the fact that Antoine was in the 2014 World Cup if he was so great why didn't he at least help France reach the semis?

So if you knew Giroud was trash in 2014 and 2018 why do you insist on using him to counter Kylian's potential GOAT status?

So far the common denominator for France's success at recent world cups is Mbappe. The year Giroud and Griezzman featured for Les Blues together we know what happened.

Let me use your own logic against you but in relation to the Euros. Mbappe was in the Euros 2021, if he was so great why didn't he help France win it? Not my logic but yours.

Exactly and I remember he took a modest Monaco to the UCL knocking out some favorites along the way before losing to a specially organized Porto coached by the Special One at his prime (lol). The thing with him is that he seems cautious and doesn't go gung-ho which anyone can expect with the talents France has.

Anyway he won’t play ,guy man is there for gold or silver medal

Yinmu.... which Benzema. Prior to his injury, his name wouldn't sent any shivers down the spine of Kano Pillars sef.

Are you being sarcastic? Benzema to play in Midfield?

In spite of his cautious approach, France plays swift direct football. Do you know that of all the Semi finalists France is the only team that did not play penalties.

They are so business like unlike my people from Español

Thank you. Benzema starting will be minus for France.

Benzema is invited by FFF to attend the world cup but he will not travel to Qatar.

Karim wanted to be part of the squad as a fan. But he is hurt by the fact that his national team manager doesn't want his return. Karim could've been back for the quarterfinals. He played in a friendly against Leganes today.

Yes the same way Pele and Maradona single handedly carried Brazil and Argentina to win the world cup during their time abi?

You had to throw that one in, lol. Man for man, France has exceptionally talented players, Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele are way beyond the usual kind of players. This is a team that can play so well without missing solid players like Pogba, Kante and the MVP in the world now Benzema. Players like Digne, wesley Fonfana, Ferlan Mendy are not in the team for various reasons. This is sort of their time, too many options for them.

Mbappe has already delivered winning the highest international trophy on earth the world cup. Griezmann played Euro and World Cup he won nothing. The entry of Kylian has changed the trajectory of the French national team they are now back to back finalists with Mbappe being the starboy.
