Yamal go play WC final before brother wasiu

Agadinaagwuofe:
Even Argentina will find it difficult because this Spanish teams keeps ball on their feet and any attempt by argentines to approach the game with more bodies to choke the midfield will destabilise their formation and open up for Spain to use through passes and their delectable wingers to punish them..

Have you been watching Argentina? The major criticism of Scaloni has been the fact that they play too narrow with 4 CMs and Messi, who operates centrally.

Bar Yamal, Spain are not a threat from the wings especially with Williams still not match-fit. Baena is useless and Oyarzabal is also useless.

Baba nothing is happening - when a team pass another team, na so e dey be.

We overestimated the abilities of this french side...me included

The truth has already set you free.

BlackManta:
England you are my last hope

Fake prediction. This Spain defense shebi na when you score one before you go begin reason 3

I wan see if England go jogodo themselves tomorrow. They have no reason not to beat Argentina apart from inferiority complex

Unlimited22:
That's why Rodri has to win the WC for that convo to hold because he is the better player.


He go use technicality wound you but he's also a ball winning machine.

A ball winning machine yes, but technicality he no pass Busquet.

A40:
Busquets enjoyed Xavi tax. Rodri na one man MOPOL

I know Ruiz and Olmo are not like Xavi and Iniesta but those two always deliver for Spain. They're very technical and good on the ball. I dare say they're more defensively solid.

AirBere:
Ogunmepon fans in tears and agony. It's a painful tournament for them.

Idol flogged, apprentice flogged, kai!!!

Odizeey teeth don nearly finish because of the constant gnashing

patrickmuf:
I tell una say France go collect if them line up with front 4, but una dey follow me argue.

Who been dey talk say nothing concern am with midfield and possession?

France are not tactical …na only run dy sabi

But this game

Reminde me a lot of psg vs Chelsea club world cup final
Deadly attack and a hyped team completely nullified

And the performance form cucurella towards the end was deja vu

Unlimited22:
At this point, it is definitely arguable

Rodri na giran

He good pieces

Plus the players Busquets played with are better

Xavi and Iniesta in Barca, them two and Alonso amd Fabregas in Spain

E no arguable. We saw Busquets after Xavi retired.

Busquets can't do anything with Pedri, Ruiz and Olmo. Now imagine Rodri with Alonso and Xaviesta.

BlackManta:
So na Barca fans get the last laugh for this world cup

God forbid bad thing.

England you're my last hope.

King Charles boys will save us from plenty noise, don't worry

Lana1:
France is losing because they moved their game to central america when they have played their entire tournament on the east coast. Clear rigging by Fifa

Another angle.

Young player of the tournament should go to pau cubarsi


Yamal don old pass this kind award

Since Pogba left the stage, France has not done anything exceptional. If Pogba were still around, France would have won that World Cup final and the Euros; his passing was the key for them.

Tchouameni, Rabiot and Kone are too deficient on the ball; they can't pick a pass even if their lives depended on it. Put Pogba in this current team and watch how their attack will be fit from his passing abilities.

patrickmuf:
I don't think he is better than Busi but he no slush...

The guy dey underrate Busquet. Yes, Busquet is not fast like Rodri but Busquet positioning is better than Rodri, Busquet knows how to draw fouls too if e choke for him. Busquet can also dribble his way out easily better than Rodri na why e hard for Busquet to concede penalty or even collect red card. His body feint & footwork is superb. What I give Rodri is pace, physicality and great shot

patrickmuf:

Busquets has never been as good as Rodri even when Rodri dey Atleti.

I've never seen Busquets hold his own side outside Barca setup. He's way younger than Xavi and Iniesta and instead of carrying the torch he was finished when they left.

They were making noise with Pedri when everybody with eyes knows Rodri is the one running that team

Unlimited22:
Na that game wey make De La Fuente decide say Kpedri go dey bench

Where was all this after Xavi and Iniesta retired?

Where have you seen Busquets in Balon D'or conversations

drisham:
Nothing spoil

Make our hatewatch no blind us from talking truth

These are more deserving players

Who are the more deserving players ?

Another deserving player might be Rodri and maybe bellingham

Dembele and mbappe cannot win it

drisham:
Omo dem walk over dem Las las o

🥲
Even cape Verde gave Spain a tougher time

Cape Verde get team work. France na pass to Mbappe, Olise and inshah Allah

Baba, which kind yarn be this?

Busquets that kept Rodri out of the team until he retired? Go and watch Euro 2020 and you'll appreciate just how good that guy was. At the tail end of his career, he still bossed the midfield against all the teams Spain came up against.

CrystalTiger:
This Spain na very abusive team...

No I'm agreeing with you na

I mean Messi and kane are more deserving players than dembele

Thecassanova:
I trust Argentina. If they get to final they will not even try to match this team midfield play. Na long balls and counter them go too dey play that day.

No need for much talk. Rodri sat on the bench for Busi in Euro 2020.

Technical midfielders are scarce now; that's why Rodri is getting all the accolades.

Beating Spain at a World Cup is not for everyone 😁
