88k in an 80k stadium?

Can’t understand takes like this. They’ve both won international tournaments never mind the countless other trophies

I think it's a fair shout

It's not a deal breaker, but if you're talking fine margins then it's a relevant point

Feels like Argentina have been crushed under the weight of expectation at every world cup ever since GOAT '86

2018 they were crushed by tactical ineptitude. We're off to a similar start today.

Vince McMahon definitely handling the attendance figures

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Didn’t know Sean Bean managed the Saudi’s. Mad that

We need to bring that guy here, he's in each world cup with different teams and I think he wins the Africa cup of nations at least every other year.

I don't know

Maradonna doing drugs kind of screwed them in 94 to be honest

Where are the French police when you need them?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Saudis are going to hand El chucky the golden boot on a silver platter playing like this

Just seen a Saudi fan in the crowd with a winter coat on

I was going to say the same thing. First thing that popped in my head, pal.

Nice challenge on the dwarf that lol

So with this take if Germany had a couple of players sent off first ten minutes when they played Argies in the final and argies scored a horrible own goal and got the spawniest win ever, this now elevates Messi to GOAT. Because of that one game? Bizarre

 

[nsno_traditionally]

78 minutes on the clock so only 25 minutes left to play

 

[tommye]

Can the Saudi's cash out now for the draw?

yeah, I know they've made it to 2 finals since their last win... I just don't feel they've ever shown their best during WCs since. Messi has played with the weight of expectation and been in Diego's shadow at every WC he's played in
Even now the commentators are all about Messi Messi Messi, they forget that there's 10 other players who can make a difference
