If France do manage to win this, where do we rate Deschamps in the list of all time international managers?

Winning back to back world cups would be unbelievable but doing it with the balls to take off your all time top scorer and then later the player of the tournament to make needed tactical changes is something else tbh

Thought it was Prince...

 

[Neiler]

Been eye catching for Brighton IMO. It's his first full season too

The other lid their Caicedo is excellent too.

 

[Rook]

Dunno

It was close to him and got a hand

Spaghetti wrists

saw the replay behind the goal, keeper went out to cut the angle which might have been correct but there was no chance to react in time for a shot that quality, probably good just to get a hand on it.

Vive la France

Probably the most one sided 2-2 I’ve seen.

the ARG-NED QF was a contender...

 

[RAFUH]

Messi worldy for the winner

I'll take a scuffed shot that bounces in off the French defenders bum!

 

[Toffeeslam]

Or France just jammy

Argies have thought it was won

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He'll have won all of France's world cups won't he?

One as a player and two as a manager

Arguably the most successful French footballing figure ever

The other lid there Caciedo is excellent too.

Brighton have some scouting network

Helps to have won one already when making calls like that. Managers still trying to build a reputation often struggle with the gutsy calls that the media will pillory them for if they're wrong.

 

[Neiler]

Brighton have some scouting network

Think Newcastle pinched their DOF.

 

[Willie Thorne]

I'd rather hear the Argentine commentary now than these clowns.

 

[Lineker]

Does that make it a yellow then?

Should have been, yes.
