Griezmann is the Philip Seymour Hoffmann of this France team. He rarely the lead protagonist but everything he gets involved in is excellent. I love Antoine Griezmann.
Should’ve never went to Barça ruined his last 3 club seasons
Beautiful pass
@@isaiahh4108 True his playstyle changed a lot because of Barca.. sad. now he rarely score goals even in Atleitco... he is mostly a playermaker now like Modric.

Go away you fake Arsenal fan. Nobody forgot you taking massive Ls from last year 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine that the French team is playing this World Cup without some of the best players in the world. Top 10 for at least three of them including the Ballon d'Or. And it's still making the semi-finals. It's insane if you think about it.
They haven't been missed, frances D is still very shaky
@@chancesareshewears Upamecano is gonna give me a heart attack.
It is indeed. They have fantastic experience and a coach who has been there and done it as a player.
If they make the finals, France have been to 4 finals since 98. That’s insane.
They had their best players in the Euros and they didn't go that far. Maybe there is better chemistry with this group.
It should be mentioned that it's France without Benzema, Pogba, Ngolo Kante, Kipembe against a complete English A-team.
Nkunku also
It should also be mentioned, those players, and most of Frances team are from Africa. Where would they be if they wouldn't of colonized half of Africa?
@@antoniodg2673these players are French citizens doesn’t matter they are from African origins. Past is done can’t be changed fact is France has a world class team
@@antoniodg2673 Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham are English best players sure both are pure Anglo 🤣
@@antoniodg2673 England colonised half of Africa too. Think past your racism and see the irony;
England were too busy stopping Mbappe and they did that well, but allowed alot of room for Griezmann to operate in the midfield . It's hard to stop this french team, Southgate plan wasn't bad but they just have better quality players and to think players like Kante, Pogba, Benzema are out is scary.
England were better ... dont get your point...

Giroud most underrated player af
Been saying this he's a beast in the box
@@musamuhammad370 as a Chelsea and England fan I don’t even know anymore. I think we are cursed but again you make your own luck. I feel like we deserved better but whoever wins wins
Rabiot too
He's kind of like Miroslav Klose
The french Müller
England have 16 shots on goal and put zero in , France 8 shots and pop 2 in the back of the net so I'm trying to work out how England played the better football ? Its goals that count in the end. Exuses after exuses from English sulking ffs
France is the new Germany at world cups.
Harry won't get the blame because he is England's golden boy and a media darling. Remember what happen to Saka and Rashford when they missed penalties last time?
You mean he is white right, sake and rashford is black
Same way everyone was clamouring for Foden, who did nothing. Yet Saka was amazing
thats half the story, the other half is Saka and Rashford are black while Harry is blonde !
@@tracer073 No not playing that card... Kane gets so much media bias it is unreal!
Crazy how people were blaming Saka for the loss immediately following the match…he was their best player and wasn’t the one who blew the penalty
Hakimi vs Mbappé will be crazy fasttt lol the besties clash
The best team is the one that converts its chances into goals.
Football not black and white sometimes 🤣 ref added to that
@@James-sr9vr Actually, football is black and white, and the ref was the ref for both sides.🤣
@@danzel1157 you were watching a different game then Anthony
@@James-sr9vr Really? Blame the ref? Okay, if it makes you happy.
@@danzel1157 you blind mate it was the ref's fault for sure. If he had given Kane a red card then someone else could have taken and scored the penalty. So I blame the ref for letting Kane take the penalty. We lost because of ref.
Put some respect on Girouds name one of the most underrated desrespect striker I’ve ever seen
💯
Nicknamed the lamppost by AFTV
Everyone talking about putting respect on their name nowadays LOL
Griezmann is playing exactly like how pogba plays for france....didn't know he would be this impactful without scoring.
He wanted that place at Barca.. but Messi was playing in that position.. he should've never went to Barca.. destroyed his last 3 years.. he should move from Atletico as well.
Griezmann play like Griezmann, he is the heart of the french game, without him we are dead. M'Bappé or anyone can be replace, but not him.
@@Ken_Marinaris nah, Mbappé can’t be replaced.
@@Ken_Marinaris nah if mbbape were to be replaced, France wouldn’t be in the semis
@@Ken_Marinaris you are absolutely right, Griezmann is the only player that has no real replacement, everyone one else does you can argue if it's the same level of replacement sure, but he doesn't have one at all
Saka was incredible tonight.
Has to score
No goals no assists.. 👎🏾 and he was incredible? Incredible is high praise
@@AshBashSneakers won that 1st pen tho..
@@dwex8596 nah he didn't have to . Kane had to. Blame him .
@@AshBashSneakers I'm a France fan, everytime Saka took the ball, i shivered.
Yall have to remember that is isn't the full France squad. France depth is amazing.
The players that missed this world cup probably won't be at the next one either due to age pogba,benzena,kante mid late 30s in 2026
@@James-sr9vr Benzema no, it's sure too old. But Pogba will be 33 years so it's ok and Kante 35 years so probably ok too.
Well, their depth was on the field. Deschamps is not counting on his bench lol. This is the very limit of what he can do. Only 1 replacement by Deschamps.
Griezmann was masterclass today
Today? For me best player in this WC by far! A cold killer, a sniper…. The is vision is fantastic! A genius and yet underrated (but I don’t mind) I like the fact he is underrated! That gives him strength
No clue why Saint Allan maximin was not called up . He destroyed Kyle walker in the new castle vs Mancity game. Compared to England stars French bench is trash
England dominated the game only because they were playing a French team containing a lead. Each time the game was level, France went at them. Smart performance.
Haha not smart giving 2 penalties and relying on a wonder strike
@@Genevasplaytime Yeah Theo made a mistake and since when is a wonder strike not on the menu? Their tactics worked and they eliminated England. It don't get better than that.
I agree, I always felt that france had a few more gears they could go up if required.
@@iansmith8731 Yes. It always felt that way. Whenever they aimed to get a goal, they managed to, so it always felt like they didn't mind gearing down because they were ahead most of the match.
@@frednsama7964 They still played quite badly and gave away multiple silly chances.
Rabiot has ben superb this World Cup
Yes he has and the little G
He's been very good.
Griezman seems to have eyes which can see 360 degrees and the ability to accurately measure the force / angle/height with which the ball has to be delivered/ tò pass.
An unassuming but wonderful playmaker.
France is fortunate to have players like him and Mbappe(the Miissile).
A better team is the one one that scored 2 proper goals not penalties.
You don't have to be the "better" team to win at this level - you have to be the smarter team. France was the smarter team (even without their big hitters like Benzema, Kante, Pogba ...).
Or you have to be so fortunate to play against defenders of the likes of Blind or Maguire.
That’s correct having the majority possession doesn’t mean your the better team
This needs to be said, Rabiot is way overhated for no reason. He's replaced Kante extremely well and the combination between him and Griezou is fantastic always. VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!
Not a fan of Rabiot, but agreed. I haven't seen a single bad performance from him so far this WC.
True that. I mean even in the match the commentators were saying how other players would've been better than Rabiot, but he's actually done so good. Also, not just now but always, Rabiot has been a really good, if not a great player throughout his career so far. So idk why such doubts.
Rabiot is Pogba's replacement. Kante's replacement is Tchouameni.
Yes I agree. I actually wanted to say this. He’s really upped his game.
The bias of ESPN FC, “England played a good match and they made us proud”…against a French team that didn’t have benzema, pogba, or kante 😂
How does them saying that make them biased? Are they supposed to analyze this match based on who COULD'VE played for France? Like... 🤦♂
@@thesubliminalhorizon Look argue with yourself, we all know ESPN FC is biased, you have your opinion about them and I have mine.
@@mohamedabdirahman1201 no one cares about your opinions mate your a nobody
@@tonicdb We’re both nobodies 😂
I keep seeing this, "benzema, pogba, kante" non-sense. Those are great players for sure, but their replacements have all done equal or more than those 3. Giroud-- scored. Tchouaméni- scored. Rabiot- has played great every game. The only difference might be Benzema-- his ability off the ball and on the ball for build up play is levels above Giroud.
France without Benz, Kante, Nkunku, and still the better team💪😂 Ppl keep saying England was better yet they needed two penalties to even stay close to being in the game, no real chance from open play meanwhile France and Giroud were peppering the England goal. As usual, England overhyped and overrated and their fans will come up with any excuse as to why they're going home yet again. Never looking at themselves as the problem, unless they wanna racially abuse Saka and Rashford, then suddenly they have no issue🤦♂️🤡 only thing coming home is Kanes penalty when it falls out of orbit 🗑
Lol all true, the better team puts the ball in the back of the net, not relying on penalties you can’t even score
@@tracer073 Dumb logic. Penalties are a part of the game. France's first goal shouldn't have counted, and the second one was a deflection. How is that any better? 😂
They discuss "does Neymar make it to the England squad"?😂😂the team that loses to incomplete france team
Well said.
France had 3 shots on target and a deflected winner. England 57% possession twice as many shots. If you think France were the better team go get a brain scan.
Giroud is elite, criminally underrated.Always turns up on the big stage dare I say worldclass
@@Noirlore as any top world class n9 in the world, I dont get your comment
Saka was England's best player by far.
Best player in the game by a country mile..
I though Foden was supose to be world class!
Walker was the best because he made Mbappe invisible.
Exactly.... but the sad part is that England fans blame him more than Kane
Declan rice was better
Griezmann may not be France best player but he’s definitely their most important, great game by him.
Fouls three times before a yellow card.
He is their best player
Deschamp’s French team clearly has the better mentality and considering that Pogba, Kante and Benzema are not playing is pretty scary. English pundits need to stop glorifying this England team apart from controlling the possession they’re pretty average except for Saka.
None of these pundits are English and the media company is from USA. So this comment isn’t valid .
Remember that France didn't have Benzema, Kanté, Pogba, Nkunku, Lucas Hernandez or Kimpbembe in this game
@@AW-zk5qb Pogba? Lol
@@cheekygeeks6662 Yes pogba always been amazing when playing for France
@@AW-zk5qb I would also add Pavard
Congratulations france 🐔👏👏🎉
Whenever Griezmann plays in the world cup he transforms into Zidane and Messi. He is extraordinary
He has been amazing all tournament! Found a new role as a number 10
Only big difference is Griezmann can't score as much as Messi nor his IQ is as high as Messi (not far away though) but Griezmann works way harder defensively and actually tries to not let opponents gets passing lanes that could lead to goals. When Messi don't have the ball, he literally walks as if he's looking at items around the mall.
@@knandez7__821 ha ha i observed that too
I think Grisou is by far the best player of this World Cup
@@knandez7__821you don’t know Griezmann I m afraid
Antoine Griezmann pulling strings for France is wonderful.
As a French, let me say, I was ecstatic both times we scored, but also pretty terrified throughout the game.
And rightfully so, England played very well. Too bad only one could progress further. Awesome game it was
France did not play well in the second half. France would normally beat a team like England 5 nil. But they only played well in patches and almost gifted England the match and semi final spot when a silly penalty was given. I enjoy watching France but they were poor in the 2nd half and truth be told lucky to win the match. A match they normally would have won 5-0

Griezmann the conductor was outstanding against one of the favourites to win the whole competition. He's virtually everywhere impacting the game in a million ways for France. 2 assists against England wow. Giroud and Griezmann was way too much for England to handle. Too much focus was on Mbappe and Dembele.

I do think the comment 'England dominated the game', was complete BS, sure they had more of the ball, but 'dominated'?
More of the ball, 2x more shots, more shots on target, more xG, more touches, more passes, more key passes, more tackles, more corners, hit the woodwork. What does a team have to do to make you say they dominated? win 8-0?
@@Lauren___ XG means nothing
@ Lauren all those stats but did England ever once in this game look like they were winning it ?
@@nickchemist723 The discussion is if England dominated the game, which they did.
@@Lauren___ having more of the ball doesn’t mean you dominated lol. How many clear cut chances did you create? XG is misleading. They had 2 penalties which inflates it. England didn’t do much with the ball. If saka wasn’t involved England looked uninventive.
France are 2 wins away from winning the World Cup using their B+ team.
Let that sink in.
i'm not an England fan but the officiating was not in their favor. they did have a chance but but kick was missed. i guess its not coming home.
With 2 penalties lol
first french goal was off a foul but oh well
Referees have been poor throughout the tournament. They seem to agree on very little.
France are a dirty side, we knew that coming in, no excuses
@@Gundal66 Should have been 3 - the ref was generally awful.
This French team is not built to dominate possession. It is built to bid its time(like a reticulated pyton) and knowing when to strike.

Fast break team
They’re a hybrid for sure. Not an all out sit back and counter, and not an all out possession team...it’s the way to do it if you want spaces and scoring opportunities.
Boring football
The problem with england is first their media secondly their coach,how can you sub saka and leave phil foden when saka was their best player
Every country has media pressure, Spain, Brazil and Argentina are examples of where it's the same as, if not worse than, England. The abuse Messi has got over the years from Argentine media and public is unreal.
2nd penalty should be taken by other player instead as Kane spotkick was already been read by Lloris & due to the pressure too, Kane missed the penalty.
Men were more focused on mbappe when the real system of the france squad is griezmann😭
Griezman is a important as mbappe.. with 27 assists.. without him mbappe wouldnt be scoring nearly as much
It's not his total number of assists you should be mentioning here, he started playing for France before Mbappe. You should be mentioning the number of assists he gave to Mbappe.
Mbappe might be the best player, but France's game is built on Griezmann, the number 10. It was always like that from the times of Platini, to Zidane and present. If you give too much freedom to the number 10 French are always dangerous.
Facts
In my opinion, it is impossible to prevent Griezmann from playing. He is free to go where he wants, he does what he wants in the team, so we can't see where he will go...
I think Griezmann is the best on the team
True
@@Stayfaraway129 You are right
Nice good preceding remarks from everyone. France seems less sovereign in defense than 4 years ago ... But it's true that when they have their good 5 minutes play (sort of speak), they show masterclass performance, score, and prove why they are champions .
However, the young players and team spirit of England is showing they 're on the way to become champions. Despite this result.

I beg to disagree about "..the young players... of England... to become champions" because the current French squad and many countries' squads also have several young and even younger players than England.
Griezman has and always will be top clas!!
France just showed the impact of being clinical in-front of goal!
And the impact of having 12 players on the pitch
@@ISellSpeed as a neutral the ref didn’t get anything wrong thought the game was officiated well.
@@paulyyy29 did you see the first foul in the penalty box?
@@paulyyy29 I don’t know what game you was watching then. because Upamancano made like 5 blatant fouls by wiping out the player and Theo Hernandez should have had a red, the first goal happened due to another blatant foul on saka which wasn’t given. So maybe rewatch the game and if you still think the ref got everything correct then go watch golf.
@@kpin80 if it’s the one on Kane the foul is outside the box which is why VAR couldn’t do anything about it.
even when mbappe was not on his prime game...got 2 penalties still can't beat France...why?...Because England players were not seeking for a goal...they all were looking for penalties in this game.
Also they forgot Antoine Griezmann! What a tactical mistake 😮
Absolutely, same thing as the Euro 2020 final. After 40 minutes England gave up trying to score and Sterling was just throwing his body in the penalty area seeking an easy penalty.
Not sure if you're a troll but england had twice as many shots and 3 more shots on target. How is that not trying to score? None of the penalties were dives, just incredibly poor defensive errors.

The expected goals stat : 2.4(eng)-1.2(fra), shown at the start of the video probably counts penalties as well.
I think this is quite misleading.
England's penalties were probably not leading to a shot/chance - but were just poor defending. It was a balanced game.
The second penalty for sure was leading to a scoring opportunity, probably even would have scored off that
Yes a penalty usually is counted as almost +1 ( a bit fewer ) in the expected goals stat
In World Cup at 8;4,2 all good teams who ever pass did not mean the other team was bad,it just chance you take and score . The rest of the time left from game it is how manager control it to protect the win. As it happened to Brazil he should add more defense player (exchange ) or secure middle field. The key success is middle field personal individual skills .
I am loving this English tears. Very Yummy. haha Even after the loss they still hyping their team. Problem with England is not the players or managers, it's their media always overhype the team and infuence their players. Until they stop singing its coming home like they won the world cup 7 times and be more humble and respectful about their opponents, they will never win anything.
💯% exactly the truth. I couldn't have put it any better.
I was new to football and when I looked on google and saw England have only ONE World Cup from 60 years ago I was shocked. 😮
It's coming home is reference to the English inventing the game of football
Nothing to do with how good we are
Almost the exact opposite to what i predicted.
I thought england would sit deep and franch would have all the possession, maybe the english would undeservedly get the win.
As for the pen appeal england didnt get, it was just outside the box.
English players whinged a lot.
Funny every one talking about how England won the midfield battle.. forgetting France were missing Kante & Pogba
I'm Scottish and wanted France to win but I was disappointed in France they were incredibly dirty they basically kicked England all over the park and I felt sorry for Saka in the end every time he was on the ball they were not even trying to get the ball from him just hacking away at him.
Already the English are blaming the ref. Just admit that with two penalties you still lost. If the ref was inconsistent he was for both sides
How many penalties did England want.
One in the first half and the foul on Saka before France's first goal.
They should have had a third.
@@chicks-on-the-loose why not ask for a red card as well.
Crying for penalties and cards it was pathetic to watch, im happy they are out.
More because that's the only way England knows for getting past the 1/4 final, just like the 2 penalties they were grossly granted vs Cameroon in the 1990 WC.
England has to be the most consistent side in the history of the world cup: perennially reaching the quarter finals and losing (a record seven times)
@@fallschirmjager0000 1 penalty scored and we would be in extra time with the world champions
@Welmeister yes, for football we’re small and don’t have the wealth of talent available that countries full of immigrants like France have.

Why am I seeing so many saying England played well? They didn’t. Most of the passing was sideways and backwards and the chances came very infrequently. France we’re just playing defensively and allowing England to have the ball once they took the lead.
Southgate should've switch to 4-2-3-1 at 1-1, when England were gettin a hold. Take Hendo off. Rice/Jude in CM. Foden, Kane, Saka, and throw Rashford up front.
For the first time, m happy Southgate let the boys play, as an England that's all I wanted.
Killer instinct - that’s what Gareth Southgate lacks.
Please, please, keep Southgate. He is a born looser, just like England. Jimmy Hill, felt confident about England making progress, yes quite.
There’s no such thing as “they were the better team, but they lost.” The game is not won on possession time or chances. It’s won by goals scored vs. given up. They didn’t score enough to win. They lost because they deserved to lose. If they were “the better team,” the scoreboard would reflect it.
It’s weird how I hear English talk about how superior they were yet the only way their were going to score is by penalties.
The point they trying to make is England would have got hammered against this sort of quality in previous tournaments previously to 2016.
The better team put the ball in the back of the net and not relying on penalties you can’t even score

The better side won the match. England played very well. They were tigers and it was one of the best matches of the world cup. But France won fair and square. I don't agree that England was 'the better side' or 'unlucky ' - unlucky or unfortunate with a missed penalty? - get some perspective, guys.
Can't see Morocco winning "if they keep playing like that"? That's funny, you mean playing intelligently, putting on a defence masterclass (while still simultaneously always creating a number of legit dangerous counter attacks), and not conceding a single goal (penalty shootout included) since the start, and against top tier teams? 🤔 This utter buffoon of a man. We're coming for that cup, believe that
Whoah, England ...
You guys can’t compare yourselves with the Greatest... Italy, Germany and Brazil.
Italy? 2 WC with Mussolini lol and didint deserve it in 2006
Italy are a cheating diving football country and play negative football.
the best team won : 2 goals versus 2 penalties. England were not able to score even 1 goal. lloris was great !
It's like they are grading england on a curve... basically treating this loss as a moral victory... but being negative about france... which is the team that actually won....
the match was very even, England was playing slightly better, I agree France also had more luck. Anyhow they need to really prepare for Maroko, I think this team is so hungry for the title.
It's people like Dan who make me enjoy seeing English tears at a tournament.
The best team always scores more if you can't outscore opponent you mostly can't win
but muh possession!
23:00 I'll answer that for you. Because Deschamps told him to. He told him to be conservative and the same goes for Dembelé
Mount and sterling (only came back Friday) the first and and second subs Southgate gates favouritism is out of control
I have never seen so many excuses for England
They didn't create enough chances
Exactly. Without the penalties, they really didn't do much. Its all about creating the chances and putting them away.
Griezmann is the Eli Manning of world football. Not much in games that don't matter all too much. But an all time great stone cold killer in the really big games.
As a patriot fan I agree. 👌
Who tf is he
So who is Peyton?
The disrespect to griezzman is crazy. He’s always been a top player, his spell at barca doesnt define him. There a club in shambles
Griezmann is the Sniper of France! What a player so underrated but for me is the best player in WC
I am suprised that England are talking about how good we were....France were not even fully fit and didnt even play well....yet England only had set piece dangers
After the victory in 2018 France in semi again and without Benzema the Ballon d'Or in attack, Pogba in the middlefield, Kanté in the middlefield, Nkunku in attack (current top scorer of the German Championship), Lucas Hernandez in defense...

Were England really the better side? They had some good possession of the ball and there were moments where they won their 1-on-1 matchups. But for long stretches they looked ponderous and uncertain what to do with the ball and seemed to lack any real plan or idea on how to break France down. They improved in the 2nd half but I never really felt Southgate let's his team off the chain and really attack a game with full gusto. Saka became more dangerous in the 2nd half when he started to pick the ball up more centrally and Foden isn't a wide player, so there is huge space and opportunity to attack down the wings with your full backs. But at no point did Southgate really let Shaw or Walker get forward. All the runs in behind to exploit the space was from Bellingham or Kane. Of course there is the danger of leaving space for Mbappe to attack into and that is certainly something that needs to be managed, but England seem far too preoccupied with using their wide players and full backs to double team Mbappe and Dembele. That isn't the tactics of a team that is confident in their ability and feel they are a worthy matchup for the best in the world, that's the mindset of inferiority.
Yes they were. Agreed by almost every critic and the French manager. So forgive me if I don’t side with the count of Monte Cristo on UA-cam.
England are like Belgium. Lots of talent, but it never shows when it has to.
England got no talent. May be only saka ,phoden ,walker can be considered. Find another stricker to replace kane.he is not that great as a stricker. Move him to midfield instead.
Same old story, can't win when it counts. That is what separates England to France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Argentina and Brazil....can't win the big games.
Imagine saying England has no talent
Both also have and had Championship level Managers for years.
@@chuak.c7349 England definitely have talent. You're clearly a hater.
What does mean Craig about podcast ? Which one or whom pundit was he ?
France had three of their top players missing, England relies on penalties to win, this English side needs to wake up stop all the media hype France scored real goals not just penalties to win.
Did he said who needs karim 🤦🏾♂️ I would tell you that he would’ve open up that England mid n defense n let Dembele n KM do the scoring
This is true. Giroud has done a great job at scoring in his place, but Benzema is next level for holding up the ball, and connecting passes with his wingers and Mids.
True
when ENGLAND come up against a big side at a World Cup knockout match, we ALWAYS Fail. Everyone knows it.
Since winning in 1966 our record in big games is as follows:
1970 - lost to West Germany in QF 3-2
1974 Did not Qualify
1978 Did not Qualify
1982 Drew with Spain in Second Group Phase 0-0 (Eliminated on points)
1986 Lost to Argentina in QF 2-1
1990 Lost to West Germany in SF on Pens 1-1
1994 Did not Qualify
1998 Lost to Argentina in Ro16 on Pens 2-2
2002 Lost to Brazil in QF 2-1
2006 Lost to Portugal in QF on Pens 0-0.
2010 Lost to Germany in Ro16 4-1
2014 Eliminated in Group
2018 Lost to Croatia in SF 2-1
2022 Lost to France in QF 2-1
Not one single big win against top opposition. This is our DNA, our Football heritage :(
Yup in the Rugby as well
Don't be so hard on yourself, England should have won today, having played much better than France! Football sometimes sucks like that!
Agree.. 2018 proves it was luck of the draw.. That side was easier path... Until Croatia
That’s Mexico’s DNA bro, they can never even win past the round of 16. Only times they make the quarter finals are when there are less teams. I WISH Mexico could take some notes on how to advance in major tournaments. My respects to the English they outplayed France for long stretches of the game.
England did beat Belgium in Ro16 in a most epic manner with a last minute ET goal in 1990. Remember it well, David Platt was the hero then. But yeah...
Honest Q. Knowing now that ENG gets a free kick from 5 yards outside the box at the end ...
Do you sub on TAA instead of Rashford?
Antoine Griezmann is the best player in this World Cup he does everything for France
One of...
Croatia-Morocco would be such an unexpected final I hope it happens
Morocco not getting pass France, it will be a France Argentina final with messi being heart break again after France win
@@tracer073 ppl said the same thing when Morocco were against Spain and Portugal, but that didn't happen. I do agree France are a different animal, but Morocco will surely give it all. Unfortunately Argentina won't pass Croatia. I expect a 2018 final repeat, but this time Croatia takes revenge and Modric becomes the greatest midfielder.
Not a chance Argentine cheats have bought this cup
@@messiisapig2478 classic messi hater what happened to your goat??
Because you’re a fan of anti-football?!?
Strange. England played better and I still feel like France deserved the win... so strange...
Because it doesn’t matter who plays better.
Nobody remembers that.
Do you ever hear someone say « oh England played so well in 2002 »
Nobody cares at the end of the day
Playing better doesn’t mean you deserve to win.
Spain play better than most nations.
But it’s about who can score and be clinical when the time comes.
Because France decided when to score and when to defend. England dominated when France asked them to
@@OptLab very well put! 👏
@@OptLab beautiful!
France usually allows their opponents to have good possession. And anyone who knows how France plays should not be surprised that England had higher possession.
England played hard but France had two run-of-play goals compared to England needing PK's to stay in it. France deserves to go forward.
This is an unfair comparison. They fouled in the box, so we were due a penalty, otherwise we may have scored in open play?!
@@-Chunk MAY have scored.
The second penalty, there is no way could be a goal without penalty
And they should have had a third penalty.
Penalty is a penalty. That means they can't defend open play,which could have lead to goal.
Mbappe sent walker to laundry 😂
He out-paced walker and nearly gave a brilliant assist !!
We are coming home🤣
If england ever wants to win something, they need to spend 6 months in Uruguay to learn how to be more ruthless, passionate and crazy. Gentlemen dont win tournaments
Uruguay haven't won squat since 1950!
Did England create even one proper chance since the equaliser, the second pen was a gift which they couldn’t accept apart from that they never looked like scoring
France has Strength in Depth
This game was similar to their Euro 2004 encounter
Actually, it's just a deja vu of the women's team encounter vs USA in 2019 if you talk about the penalty miss. During that game, the Lionesses still had a huge chance when they trailed 1-2. However, Steph Houghton missed the crucial penalty.
So many good storylines possible:
- france vs croatia final: rematch of 2018 final
- france vs argentina final: rematch of the 2018 round of 16 and a chance to really see how messi and mbappé really feel about each other (spoiler: they hate each other)
- morocco vs croatia final: a rematch of the group stage game from 2 weeks ago which ended 0-0
- morocco vs argentina final: a rematch of 2018 world cup final in the 3rd place match.
