1-1 after 90 minutes. But I just want an end-to-end game.

Both teams have looked poor so far. Hard to predict but I have a feeling Argentina will rag it 1-0

I hope they both lose !!

I'd prefer if France won but I think the Argies will "find a way"/cheat their way through- so put a few bob on them to win in the 90 mins. Hopefully, whoever wins this one gets no further, I'm not fond of either of them.

Good record against France recently but they have looked so poor in the group stages.

They can't both lose. It's not possible!

I could never read the bottom row at the opticians, either.

I think France will beat Argentina,
Because Argentina is only relying on Messi and this is one of the flop seasons for Messi so my prediction is 0-2.

France to score both halves and France over 3.5 corners both halves is 100/1 .... looking decent that is.

I like Sampaoli, he's a good manager but what he's doing here seems stubborn and in house problems. No Aguero, Higuain or Dybala in the starting 11 is just crazy and clear there is something going on behind the scenes.

Congratulations to Argentina on reaching the quarter finals.

Griezmann rattles the bar with a free kick.

MBappe is some player.

Wow. He’d have left Usain Bolt trailing there.

I hope the VAR is checking the foul on Messi here

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:12 pm

Initial contact was a fair way outside the area was it not?

Doesn't matter, if it continues into the box it's a pen.

Yes. How that is a foul and the one at the other end on Messi wasn’t is beyond me.

Anyway I need the points for my fantasy league and a small bet I have.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:18 pm

To think that Mbappe is only 19. He's some player.

Should this be a pen as well then?

I'm not sure since when, but it's not new.

No because the foul didn't continue into the box.

Mercado plays like some guy who has just turned up with his boots hoping for a game.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:23 pm

Mbappé was my favourite song by l’Hánson.

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:25 pm

Agree to disagree.

Argentina have such a chasm between midfield and the front three. Messi isolated.

The player he receives it from always seems to be in 5yds of him. Hence a player chasing the player in possession down and 1/2 on players on Messi.

1-1

Are we talking about the one where Griezmann clearly gets to the ball before Messi and then legs get tangled with Messi behind him?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 4:07 pm

2-1 Arg.

Edit...2-2 another superb strike.

No. I wrote what I did before that incident happened.

The where Messi was bundled off the ball before france broke for the penalty.

3-2 Mbappe.

Fabulous game now.
