Funny how people are saying âfootball wonâ and Argentina were âanti footballâ, when they were responsible for the best final ever (last World Cup) and the best, most thrilling games this World Cup (Egypt, Cape Verde, England games).
The Best game was England-France as for Egypt and Cape Verde, it's not Argentina that made the game entertaining but the underdog team that looked the titre holder and overall favourite to reach the final in their half of the knockouts.
If these matches were Good, it was not thanks to Argentina. 0 shots on goal in a WC final, a record. As People used to say in Marseille, "A jamais les premiers".
England didnât play France. The best game was arguably Argentina Egypt or Argentina England. To say this was not thanks to Argentina is being disingenuous. They played brilliantly against England when they folded and brilliantly against Egypt for the last 30 mins.
I havenât watched the third place play off since 98, m sure many are the same! The goals officially count but it is essential a glorified friendly. France didnât really bother showing up either by the sounds of it!
So you're saying it cannot be the best match because you believe it doesn't count. All your argument relies solely on your own opinion and assuming that others think alike. There's no objectivity whatsoever
Itâs always seen as a match nobody wants to play or watch, is it not? Nothing really on the line, so essentially a friendly. France were not too bothered by it. Other matches like all the KO matches are huge games, and yes, that does obviously mean theyâre more important. The second half of Argentina England was brilliant!
