Well, back to boring old club football.
At least we've got the Euros and the Copa América to look forward to, before we're back here in a new thread in 3 1/2 years.

Overall Argentina dominated, good for them.
But France made it interesting, what a come back, I would have hated for them to lose at 2-0. They can be proud.
Penalty kicks will never not suck.
- Mbappe must be feeling utter shit right now, though, and that's no joke.Continuity

- He showed what he's capable of when he has opportunities. A winner at heart, no tears, Macron consoled him and he didn't give a fuckspl33nidoru

- France are getting disassembledContinuity
- France has a tendency to start slow and doubt, we can turn the tables if we manage to score before the half timespl33nidoru

- On a side not I've been fascinated by the typography on Argentina's kitspl33nidoru
- Their kit is ghastly. The two stripes on the back look like someone fucked up with the sewing.Continuity
- Excuses, excuses? https://theathletic.…Ianbolton
- Can the Argentines keep that up for the second half? Cruel penalty though.Ianbolton
- Yeah the numbers seem made of gaffer tapespl33nidoru
- I think they might be able to, unfortunately. On the other hand, words will most certainly be said in the FR dressing room at the half. So we'll see.Continuity
- Argentina will start the 2nd half confident, France can come back with a vengeance. It will be amazing if they manage to.spl33nidoru
- France have finally turned up to the match, ffsContinuity

I'm watching the world cup for basically the first time. I'm a yank... I considered making a "Yank's first impression of football" thread but I don't feel like making that thread.
So reader beware, I've only ever watched American football. I always knew this was important but never understood or had interest until now... So, I sit down to watch Croatia vs Morocco.
Initial thoughts...
-Crotia cannot lose fast enough. I want them to lose so bad but Morocco manages to be worse somehow. They keep throwing the ball away everytime they get it or Crotia steals it.
-Why are players allowed to push the refs in this sport? What the hell??!
-There are zero hot girls in the Morocco crowd. Travesty!
-Why are the head coaches dressed like they are going to a dinner party? Lighten up, lol.
-Why is there a single croatia player wearing a bdsm mask? Wtf?
-I saw one play where the croatia player very blatantly pushed the moroccan player to the ground, full contact and the ref just pretended like nothing happened. Are the refs in love with Croatia? I thought a red card would be called for sure, and he did NOTHING. No shame. What the hell? What is this weird game?
Anyone else watching for the first time or just me?
- soccer's biggest problem is the referees (can) decide the outcomehotroddy
- And the freakin ball is round. Like todally freakin spherical. What's with that?Fax_Benson

CRO v MOR, that was quite an entertaining first half!
- couple of nice goals too. I have Croatia in a sweepstake with work but both teams have had a great tournamentIanbolton
- That Orsic one was a real banger.Continuity
- 2-1 CRO wins 3rd placegrafician
- But MUCH RESPECT to Maroc for getting here!grafician
- Yes, much respect for those uncivilized cunts for not beating up the refcrazyprick
- NBQ000
Wtf is wrong with Morocco fans and immigrants doing mass riots in European cities even after they’ve won.
Tribalism at its worst.
- Really no different than British men beating their partners after England loses.

This has to be the worst WC ever for goals. Has there even been ONE worth watching again? Maybe the French one against England was alright.
- haha, can't totally agree, this one's daft https://youtu.be/1NN…Ianbolton
- I can't totally agree, either. That Messi/Alvarez full-pitch run for their 2nd goal v Croatia was one of the most sublime things I've seen.Continuity

One of the best articles about the world cup :
I don't know what the result was this Tuesday between Argentina and Croatia in the World Cup in Qatar - I have to deliver this column first - but I do know one thing for sure: I know that, at match time, there was a man walking through a park in a city in the Pampas, in the sunshine, accompanied by two dogs. Here's the thing: my two brothers turned my father into the Anticábala: they prohibited him from watching the national team's matches. It's his superstitious contribution to Argentina winning. My father is not interested in football, so not watching them doesn't bother him. Last Friday, when the Argentina national team played against the Netherlands, he was watching The Godfather II on Netflix. At one point, because the subtitles weren't coming on, he fiddled with the remote control - he's a chemical engineer, but he doesn't understand that device - he unintentionally switched off Netflix and the match suddenly appeared before his eyes. In that minute, the Netherlands scored their second goal. One of my brothers appeared in a flurry, certain that the disaster was the result of my father watching the match. And indeed he was. So, to avoid trouble, he sent him away: he sent him for a walk in the park. And that man who ran away from home to go looking for gold in Brazil when he was 17, who introduced us to Argentina in a vehicle loaded with weapons in the middle of the dictatorship, who endured my mother's agony absorbing the horror so that we wouldn't swallow it, put the dogs in his truck and left. He didn't calculate that the match would last so long: 10 minutes of extra time, plus half an hour, plus penalties. He walked in the sun - it was 40 degrees - until he was exhausted. But he got them to win. So this is my only certainty: yesterday, Tuesday, at match time, a man went for a walk with his dogs, in the sunshine, because his children still believe he can change the world. That's what a father is. Someone who does not hesitate to fulfil, in the name of a love he will never confess, the absurd extravagance.
- Left the table to get some more beers, then England missed the second penalty and that was it. If I didn't left...grafician
- Not to mention by then all predictions were 100% but one tiny break and the perfect score card was done

Well, good. FRA v ARG in the finals.
But, wow. Morocoo really, really wanted to win this, but they just couldn't finish. They were giving FR serious problems for most of the second half
.- I'm surprised how they shut france down.Beeswax
- I'm kind of not, actually. Their game was really good, and the created to lovely chances.Continuity
- *they created some lovely chances, that isContinuity
- And they played really well throughout the tournament, too.Continuity
- Guess we'll see them again soongrafician
