@gmuchineripi @PremLeaguePanel Nerves, desperate argentina. Dog fight with fullbacks. Made it count when needed. What's is all about. Composure to see and execute a great header back.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@umirf1 Considering Argentina will literally sell every foul i think its appropriate

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@pythaginboots Whoever made the decision to make that the final venue for a 3 pm kickoff needs to be fired. Should been at least in LA.

@DErsatzbank @nonewthing I'm actually a United fan lol. But having watched that cross today i swear had a feeling of I've seen someone else do this a lot.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@nonewthing The smile of approval. Holy. He knows he's next

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@nonewthing Funny enough. Messi was basically playing trent's role for argentina the last 30 minutes. Oh the irony

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@ademir2z Apart from first 15 minutes. Spain were comfortable all game. And that second goal still would have happened. Spain have France's number. First time they had adversity didn't react. Press not good enough. And didn't retain enough possession in spain's half to sustain attacks.

@rajsinghchohan Can't do anything when all of these players are so smart. Wtf they teach these guys when they are young. Always find a way to be open. And they always hold onto the ball to the very last second to be able to get the space.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@rajsinghchohan United doing deals you would actually like. What is going on....... are they finally getting smarter in the market

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@abooker17 Tbh Europe's stability isn't great either which is why they are bringing in so many more financial rules across all leagues. The problem is the quality of play isn't close to what Europe is and there is no way to fast track that. Its about bringing in/developing great talent.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@priyaee Pretty ignorant comment tbh.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@pythaginboots Gotta ask how do you develop that. Seems like a lot of nations are at that stage. Think of ecuador too. They have a lot of defensive/midfielder talent coming through but little attacking. How do yiu evolve for that? Or is it just luck?

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@pythaginboots I really don't understand the waiting they are doing to make their moves. All this patience to then go and overpay in August anyways as they've done the past 10 years.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@mufcIuke @htomufc Don't think its panicking. Its July and the world cup is almost over. Panic would be doing this end of August when all options are gone

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@Adam_Bradford14 @Cassidy_Rob I dont mean to belittle other sports. But like baseball to be at an ELITE level you really have to start playing young. Playing with feet not hands. The coordination, control etc at high speeds is extremely impressive. It does it no justice seeing it on TV. Like baseball

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@iboster52 @TPLkillaKP @goatersmotors Would also add much like the men's emphasis on physicality the women's US side were physically dominant compared to other women's teams. With the advances in the women's game that advantage over the years has gone away.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@BowTiedCrow Just because he plays soccer at the age of 4 doesnt mean he'd be the best on the pitch. Do you know how many talented kids get weeded out by the time they even reach the u18 level. Its brutal.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@FIFABrit I think these people forget you play with your feet. 6'10 players would look so bad on the ball. Even if they started at a young age. Very few players even at 6'3" look decent on the ball.

[elgaucho @elgauchoo18]

@pythaginboots This was like Declan rice against liverpool except in a knockout game in the world cup. Crazy
