I am an avid Argentina fan but the team has a crazy coach.
How you bench Dybala in every match beggars belief. I thought Argentina would somehow squeak through but not with this fellow.
This world cup is crazy.
I was looking at Mexico going far but after the Sweden match, I don't know what to believe or even expect.
Germany out!
Brazil has been lacklustre.
It is hard to tell man. I have no clue.
Uruguay has been perfect but who knows.
I have no idea.
This pretty much sums up this years WC.
We wouldn't be in this wonderful predicament if not for VAR. It's a godsend to the sport and tournament. It has produced more goals, eliminates - in large part - biases, keeps the players more honest...and on and on.
I've always believed that the Cup goes through midfield so, if I'm a team manager, I want my best player to be a midfielder. This is why I think Croatia can actually make a deep run. Iniesta is having a great tournament/swan song as well. Conversely, I think Portugal will have a tough go of it.
I cannot wait for France v Argentina. Argentina seem to fragile mentally. If Argentina gets an early goal it will be a great game. If France scores first it will be over.
But, really, it's a crap shoot. Thank you VAR!
