lucky Spain.
How are the mighty fallen.
No mighty fallen.

History shows that Spain always own France.

Mbampe, Dembele and Olise made it seems that this time will be different...

But Spain revalidated that they still own them, regardless.

Their toughest test was this Switzerland and again a var review to favor them.
( I will be my last scent, if embolo was Argentinan, there would have being no var review)
They found a loophole and they pounced on it.
They literally swam their way to this point.
It's unbelievable how rigged this can be
Unbelievable
We cannot know if there won't be a VAR review if Embolo was Argentine. We don't need to assume.

Argentine had a penalty incident that was not called by VAR or blown by the referee in that same Arg-Egypt match, but since it is Argentina, nobody said anything. It is Salah's 'PowerPoint' slide abi na simulation everyone is talking about.

You get time they answer him, they think football on the pitch is abt emotion, you kicked someone from the box and you expect the ref to ignore it.

The same way struggling Spain didn't have any chance against France.

What you failed to realize, is that Teams adapt according to the strength of their opposition.

Elite teams are very known for this.

Failure against a smaller team,

Doesn't necessarily mean failure against another elite.

Argentina are faster and more energetic in their attack - and they have a way of maintaining and increasing momentum as the game proceeds to the final minute.

Well, anything can happen...

My prediction is on chance, not assurance.

how can you purposely hit someone you did not know was coming? shocked shocked

that was the same ref from egypt vs argentina. he disallowed egypt goal on a soft issue.
honestly yamal deserve a yellow card for that trick.
.abi... France was cheated.. especially on that wrongful penalty call... referees in this world cup are not professional. they make a lot of wrong decisions... even when they is VAR to review the it..they still make wrong decisions ..these referees need more training and orientation

​Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly considering playing in the 2030 World Cup.

​Portugal co-hosting, combined with the team's high chances of winning the tournament, are key factors driving this possibility.

So you have to purposely commit a foul before it becomes a foul?

Ronaldo would be forty five by then. He isn't coming back, no how, no how. At best he would be on the bench as either the coach or at least the striker's coach.(like Henry did for Belgium).

My prediction is England 0-3 Argentina
Second prediction is England 2-2 Argentina . Argentina win on penalities.
Don;t see Argentina losing. England is weak in comparison. Am sure a lot of people will come and tell me stories, but it's Argentina again to win the cup. Maybe when Messi retires, others will have a chance.

Lionel Messi was the star of the comeback, setting up both Argentinian goals with 2 assists to break English hearts.
