Didn’t even realise the game was a 3pm kick off. Glad I checked this thread now!

I’ve got my Argie top on hoping Messi & co can do it

bosstrabs Hugo making an appearance on the Guardian live blog, as ‘Michael S Weller’

Yet again you are mistaken - based on that guy’s post I very much doubt he has the same outlook on things as me.

    When it comes to any type of bants, Hugo says a ‘HUGE NO!’

      bosstrabs Dave and Ed are to teaching bants, what Paul Merson and Tim Sherwood are to providing football analysis.

        Who do I want to see crying at the end the most? Messi or Mbappe?! Definitely Mbappe.

        Lol. Diving argie bastards.

        “It’s just bobblin’, innit?”

        A concise piece of commentary from Jermaine Jenas.

          Not a pen, di Maria falling over without having been touched.

          The ref couldn’t wait to give it.

          Personally thought that was a stonewall pen myself. He clips his leg and that’s enough.

            gcw He clips his leg

            Where was that? Di Maria was already throwing himself down before any contact.

              France just aren’t at the races. They’re usually livelier than this, it’s ruined the game as a contest.

              It’s like Switzerland vs Portugal. Also when they had a supposed bug in the team.

              As an aside, the head VAR was from the same country as the on-field officials (Poland). Seems a bit dodge - every other game I think has had different nationalities on VAR.

              The cunt that is Alan Shearer to vomit Messi superlatives at half time like you won’t believe. Wonder how much he donated to the ‘Make Messi Win’ fund?!

              Most of the France players had to be in isolation the last 24-36 hours.

              Lol at Giroud. All time French goalscorer, which has to be one of the oddest football stats ever

              Odd to take Giroud off given the aerial option he gives France
