Messi moving to the right changed everything. He saw the middle was too congested & decided to create instead of finish the move. The chance he created for Lautaro before his goal was astonishing.

Argentina’s best two players saving them at the death. Romero’s level can be so high & always is for his country. Decisive in both boxes, dominant & incredible on the ball. He deserves so much more respect.

These Paredes diags have been exceptional. He fires them out so low and fast.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Argentina need width. There lack of winger options & full backs not being good enough defensively is killing them. Angel Di Maria, you are missed.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Nuno Mendes off. Game over.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

They messed up by not hosting the final in the Azteca.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Wow. I don’t like teams parking the bus for that long as I do think eventually they will be broken down, but that performance showed incredible grit & structure from England.

Fair play to Tuchel & his subs.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Nahhh what is this defence

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Move Rice to RB. Kobbie - Anderson midfield.

Saka & Gordon off.

Rashford playing off Kane.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Mainoo for Anderson is the move

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Bellingham’s movement just wow.

Held that run until the very second before exploding away from his marker & then having the patience to wait for the cross to arrive to him before throwing himself at it.

Superstar.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Haaland can never be doubted again. Knocking out Brazil with Norway after 7 goals in 6 matches in his first World Cup - that is legendary. Still so young - he will be remembered so well when he leaves the game.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

He took the offside goal he scored superbly but was a ghost apart from that. Missed a header he should have buried in the first half too.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

They gave Cristiano man of the match 🤣🤣🤣

Leaõ has been top these last two games. Provided Portugal with width & 1v1 ability they lacked without him. Crazy he didn’t start this tournament.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Kovačić is so gifted with the ball at his feet. He’s by no means fast, but he just glides away from opponents effortlessly. The way he curves his runs, keeping such a low centre of gravity helps. Neves can’t lay a glove on him.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Kaneeeee….. unbelievable game winning finish.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

Rice - Saka rhs link up has changed everything.

If Reece is out I’d stick with this & bring Kobbie in.

[@MaxPollen @MaxPollenfooty]

This Wing pairing is making my blood boil. Rashford can’t trap the ball or get the better of AWB. Madueke’s decision making is appalling, added to the fact that he is so selfish. Neither can put in consistent accurate crosses.
