Lol what you mean??
can not be just 1 player who wins. then its also about who they like more.
i mean they snubbed henry 2 times and never mentioned drogba.

also they got to give ballon dor out based on position. like defense, mid and attack.

not to mention iniesta deserved it about 2 times butr tey gave it too messi.

Gotcha. Yea it's biased no doubt towards goal scorers. I always thought Xavi deserved one, but just as in football, most people can't appreciate a pass. Its goals that everyone remembers which is why it's skewed that way. Even the midfielders that have won them are all goal scoring midfielders like Zidane and Kaka.

They definitely need to change that format cause there's a wealth of deserving players but Cristiano and Messi are the only two that'll always get it.
 
This the scrap kinda game that requires Giroud off the bench or something.

The finesse needs to be saved for later.
 
that was ugly from france, i would drop tolisso and dembele from the starting line up and pogba needs to up the tempo in midfield
 
The thing I have to keep reminding myself is that the first round of WC matches always produce some unexpected results. By both teams and players. But the cream usually rises to the top.

The one thing I'm happy about is VAR. There's still going to be controversy but I think it'll get more right than wrong. And let's face it, if a ref is having a bad game he can affect the tournament way too much.

Im surprised that Tolisso was starting

But yoooo
What's happened to Kondogbia?
A few years ago you couldn't tell me he wouldn't have been a star today

kondogbia hasnt been doing too bad for valencia, going to italy slowed down his progress imo

VAR is a breath of fresh air and I love having it out with purists. Their arguments are pretty much null and void now.

It was gonna be tough to break past the likes of Kante, Pogba, Fekir etc.. you could definitely argue that Tolisso had no business out there today

laka should be there he fits right in the system and is the deadliest striker they have. i dont understand why he keep leaving him at home
 
Goddam, Iceland brought their thug game. They're chopping the shit out of Arg forwards.

That's the difference between Messi and Ronaldo. They beat the fuck out of Messi but you can't even breath on Ronaldo.

The cats France left off can only suggest their age and youth are ahead of them. Martial, Laca, Kondogbia etc..
 
I don’t know if Iceland can do this for the rest of the match. Argentina’s applying ridiculous pressure. Something gotta give
