Goals, assists, creativity, dribbling etc no one comes close, it's hard to imagine anyone in our lifetime getting to what he has. Some players have better attributes in certain areas, but overall, he's unmatched

Unreal from Messi.

Messi 5 goals 3 assists - golden boot and golden ball so far

Do Croatia throw on some tall un's?

At least we went out with a good showing, a long range strike and a lucky delfected header as won it for France, loads of chances for England and of course the penalty.

The way Netherlands threw on those tall players and long balled it, was very much like what Barca had to do with Koeman, throwing Luuk De Jong and putting Araujo and Pique upfront, and Koeman takes over the Dutch again in 2023, so the Dutch fans might need to get used to it, not pretty, a far cry from there yesteryear total football, but can be effective.

Netherlands v Croatia would have been shite.

that pass and Thiago Silva's for Richarlison v South Korea, pure vision.

Magic from Messi again.

Neymar last, going for glory? looks stupid now. Huge chance now for Messi and co, but I have no idea what to predict in this WC.

Glorious goal, truly wonderful football.

I would imagine every nation is jealous of Bellingham being English, be interesting if or how we'd have fit Musiala in this team.

Might be me liking Barca, but since he turned around the boos last season (boos actually only last about 20 mins in his comeback game from injury and looked like he wasn't signing a new contract) Dembele as been very good if not excellent, though can have games were he doesn't show up like in some of the big champions League games this season, he's the most two footed player I know, of course Saka is in great form, bit of a toss up on that right side Mbappe, Varane and possibly Tchoumameni for Henderson (who's playing really well) not much in the left back position either, Kounde as a cb too. Would you take a not injured Kante over Rice? a Pogba over Hendo/Bellingham? Benzema over Kane?

Surely Ronaldo won't start again now, past it, this Ramos will be getting big teams interested.

Quality football this from the porchegeese

Wonder if CR7 liked or hated that goal lol

Brave and class from Hakimi, not sure even with what he's achieved should Busquets be taking a penalty in 3rd spot and putting on a sub to take a pen reminds me of England v Italy and it not working out. Imagine if Switzerland beat Portugal and we beat France.

like SK are p[laying with 2 at the back and that's it.

Defensively appalling, it's chance after chance.

Cannot handle them, great football.

AMAZING GOAL!

Super save from Allison

France went behind v Australia, at 1-1 v Denmark, Braithwaite missed a huge chance and v Poland at 0-0, Lloris makes a great save when it looked a certain goal, Mbappe of course is capable of changing any game, but as a team they aren't perfect. Flipping that France, will look at that first 30 minutes and be thinking yeah we can do well v this defence.

First 30 or so minutes was poor, but then we turned it on, Bellingham, Foden and Kane's movement was excellent, once the third went in, it dropped in quality again, but the game was done and France enters the mind. Dunno if we'll play a back 5 v France, but there was moments 1st half that France will be liking, but with our attack, their defence should be worried too.
