The ref thinks it's UFC

The dirtiest team I've ever seen. The referee should be fired

someone's gonna get injured

This is bad sportsmanship by Parguay

The ref should get kicked like that himself at least once. He's literally encouraging violence

Paraguay players are overly aggressive to the point that it's reckless. I don't agree with how the referee is handling it. There should be more yellow cards

I'm worried for France

My reasoning. I use 3 criteria for evaluating nations' chances of winning WC in this order: 1. Team Synergy: Argentina has the best synergy closely followed by France. Other teams including Portugal, England and others are lacking here in my opinion. 2. Individual Talent: France clear everyone, their attack is made of the best players in the world rn. Portugal are second and England, Spain and Argentina follow 3. Motivation to Win: I think Portugal are the most willing to win because of CR7, France have a score to settle with a few teams and they know they are the best. England and Spain also have high motivation because it's been a while since they last won, esp. England. Argentina, on the other hand, are reigning champions so they don't have much to prove.

Good game. My takes: Kudos to Cabo Verde, they overperformed tremendously. Argentina obviously deserved to win, and I like them as a team, they have a very good synergy, they are really disciplined and hardworking. I'd rate their chances of World Cup success higher than most other top teams, second to only France though with a big margin. My list of favorites: 1. France (40%) 2. Argentina (25%) 3. Portugal (20%) 4. Other teams e.g. Spain, England, Morocco, Brazil (15% combined)

wow

He makes it look easy as always

Let's go Messiii
