As a neutral fan, this was amazing to watch Di Maria and Pavard score the most outrageous goals, and the thing is both of them can only be described as perfect
@oot that's not true. Specially the 2018 argentine team was pretty shit. And stop single handedly blaming Messi. 'Messi' didnt fall short. 'Argentina' as a whole team fell short. And 'again' doesnt make sense. Cause messi has literally been the best man for almost every tournament he played for argentina. He has won every motm for argentina.
@Nick Broos Peopel should just watch some Maradona videos to look for a superlative player that takes a reasonable team to the WC> BEsides: Cristiano Ronaldo is a leader for sure, Maradona was Capo dei capi and Mbappe and surely Messi are not leaders at all. It is one of the most striking differences between Maradona and Messi, apart from Maradona being a far more varied player that did not have pussies for defenders. Just an hour ago I saw a video of Maradona (60 minutes) and Messi. The difference between how the two were approached is astounding. Messi would needs not to care for his legs, Maradona had to. In fact to much astonismhent a player tries to break his legs but Maradona dodges it. Th eplayer gets up and tries again (from behind). He almost succeeds. He now gets...a yellow card. I have never seen this happening once to Messi...So messi can run and dribble on and on and never has to adapt. Maradona becomes a hurdle runner because of all the attacks on his legs.... As to Portugal: Portugal has had Worldclass player for much longer than there ever was a C. Ronaldo. They always failed because of the coach. Every single coach bar one in 2000 are focussing on defending defending defending and yes...defending. And fortunately such a style never lead to any big titles. It is what stills hampers them. They should go for a coach that is fully on the attack. Most of all because Portuguese defenders have always been excellent so not much to worry about there. A downside of Portugal is that they do not have someone like Van Basten, Ibrahimovic, Bergkamp, Schillacci in 1990, Rossi in 1982 etc. Ronaldo has to be the dominant player in the centre field and the goal scorer.
fr bruh, and aguero also scored the 3rd goal with a brilliant header from a messi assist, was a nice cross and goal. they actually have good chemistry and aguero coulda played earlier, he can actually score good goals. dybala is also a decent mix of playermaker and goalscorer. messi dybala aguero. hmm not bad. and di maria. but aguero and dybala benched. argentina also got dominated, first goal was a hard strike, 2nd goal was lucky, and third goal was in stoppage time when it didnt matter. france first goal was a penalty ig but mbappe's run was insane, 2nd goal was a hard strike, third goal was a good mbappe shot but goalkeeper coulda blocked that, tbh mbappe shoulda shot beter, and france 4th goal was too good to do anything about it.
The game of the 2018 WC and one of the best of all times....it was THE game where the entire world discovered Mbappe (what a game..and he was only 18 !)...
El mejor partido del mundial 2018. Aunque me enoje un poco por todas las faltas que hizo la defensa argentina y aparte sus errores. Espero en el mundial de este año le vaya mejor a Argentina.
@Wilmer Omar Remigio Aponte Yo hablaba de cómo me entretuvo el partido, no de si fuimos mejores o no. Cómo se nota que lo que queres es armar quilombo y llamar la atención en vez de decir algo que aporte.
Argentina venia mal a este partido y aun así lograron un excelente partido, ojalá logren en Qatar ser campeones, en especial por Messi saludos desde 🇧🇴
Missing this fabulous match 4 years ago, I was in hostel during world cup 2018 & waiting for to see match for 4 Hours on that day because I was so excited to see Argentina match & left Tiffin evening time in dinning hall. Gathering fellows everywhere & looking straight forward on TV & cheering massively on the hall. On that time, I was intent that Argentina probably win but finally they lose from France. Damaria shoot goal & Pavad Banana goal remains one of the best goal of that match. World Cup 2022 Qatar Now, definitely Argentina will win World Cup 2022 Qatar Let's see together what happen!!!
@Sagar Pandya Which you didn't, cos you stated it as a fact, but the fact is Di Maria probability is much higher to score, hence it cannot be a "better goal", it's not subjective. There's nothing wrong with personal "preference though", lower probability goal might be prettier for some ( or even most ), doesn't mean it's better.
Por qué tenemos una defensa de mielda desde que tengo uso de razón? hacia adelante es una seda, pero abajo falta mucho, desde que recuerdo a Argentina siempre nos dan vuelta el resultado. Hermoso partido. ps: desde Francia 98 en adelante, Francia es imparable.
so tagliafico is still playing for argentina until now. hmm. too bad args goalkeeper was clueless. If that was the likes on neuer he would always go out and chase the before before mbappe gets close to him
@Ahmad Shah Massoud O Brasil e o melhor de sempre claramente, mas não nesta seculo. Neste seculo a mim o melhor e a França. Depois Espanha e depois Italia, Belgica e talvez Brasil.
Top 10 world cup match ever, di maria's goal is so beautiful i almost cry, pure elegance, no one is challenging him either, it looks like he could make a cup of coffee before he shoots, bad defending from france right there, pavard scored a crazy goal too
Tomara que joguem esse ano de novo, pra mim a frança não teria a mesma sorte, essa Argentina de San Paoli era um pouco desorganizada, e mesmo assim a frança teve dificuldade pra vencer, a atual Argentina está muito forte e bem treinada por scaloni, acredito que se jogarem de novo a Argentina é favorita.
This was the best game of the wc back and 4th and people dont give argentina credit, they were the only team to lead at 1 point in the game against this overpowered france team
@N’Golo Kante yea but they didnt ever lead against france, it was a draw. and in the group stages. france won all their games except for this one ig so thats something. but nobody defeated france in the world cup 2018. wish france won against denmark as well but its ok
It looked like Messi had something going on with the team. That was the least assertive I've ever seen him play. He was one touch passing in several situations where he would normally dribble in and shoot. The same with the Croatia match.
I remember watching this with some friends from Argentina and after they lost I thought "man they lost like men, with their heads high, like a team, to the World Champions, there is nothing to be ashamed of".......NOPE, dude my Argentinian friends were not having it, "they were shit, fuck this" incredibly angry and mad. Thats when I understood that for Argentina its GOLD or NOTHING, thats their mentality....which is weird because they have 2 world cups and the last one was in '86 when the legend Maradona played. I felt this was the best game of that World Cup edition.
No le cobraron el penal a Argentina que era mano clarísimo, los franceses jugaron como cagones y a cualquier roce ya se tiraban. Nos amonestaron medio equipo injustamente y estabamos pasando por un mal momento con la dirigencia técnica, y aún así fuimos la única selección que le dió pelea al equipo campeón del mundo Francia (y el único que le metió 3 goles). Simplemente Argentina 🇦🇷🏆

If I remember correctly Argentina did really well and I was dismayed by how little chance they actually stood against France. i was hoping for Argentina to win, but the French were really a class better. A very deserved winner of the cup to me. And I am surely a fan of France.
Argentina had everything on that match except a good defence which can win them trophies, now finally players like foyth , Romero and veteran like otamendi and a class goalkeeper like emi Martinez makes the defense more fluent , and nothing to tell about the attackers and mid where argentina never had any problem❤️, they might win the world cup
Dimarias goal was perfect ! Never mind pavards guessing shot. I still think if there was 5 more minutes....Argentina wouldve tied it. It was a close game till the end.
This was more intense than the final, as a messi fan i feel kinda sad they lost here since they were leading at one point, they had a chance at the final if they hadnt lost
One thing I have learnt that in international,when ur team is behind in goals against big teams or in do or die matches, messi isn't even close to Ronaldo That man can single handedly can carry ur team to victory or draw Unbelievably clutch 🔥🔥
Yeah likewise he plays against Uruguay in the same world Cup right.. 🤣🤣🤣clutch and those stupidity do look u f self a fool bro.. In Manchester we are seeing clutch player 4-0, 5-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-0, 4-0 etc and in international against Germany 4-2 where was the clutch.. In this game against the mighty France messi bagged two assists.. So try to watch football rather than google stats 🤣
Amazing goals, solo runs, incredible free-kick technique, Fights , 8+ Yellow cards , Messi , mbappe , griezy (on steroids),Di maria(also on steroids). Gk fumble , crazy atmosphere and Pogba (Serious+non injured+not dancing) Best match of that WC.
@Alex Tabet wrong! Right backs are supposed to be a mix of defence and attack. Sure they aren't MEANT to score goals but if they score it should be a good thing
Definitivamente Argentina estaba destinado a perder rápidamente, jugaron muy mal la eliminatoria y la fase de grupos. Muchos jugadores no debieron estar allí, había que renovar
Les Français étaient une machine à aplatir et maintenant au Qatar, ils sont aussi incroyables car ils n'ont pas baissé leur niveau salutations du Mexique
Who is ready to see France play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with the same front three as they did in this video, Giroud as Striker and Mbappe and Griezmann supporting him. Let's see how far they can get this time four years later...
The defense was bad... The penalty for instance... Mbappé got the ball in the middle of the field but managed to run (yes he is very fast) and was fouled in the box????
