The matchup we all waiting for …

You think he can still keep up with Mbappe? I don't know boss them wheels are on the back end of their playing career. France can long ball so much with Mbappe their defense is gonna be well positioned and full of pace through the final minutes. England are going to have to have tough time and really have break down the defense. We'll see though.

I think Mbappe will best him more times than not, but the English will give it everything they got. I see France squeezing by in a close one with some random ass goal from somewhere no one expects

His dad was trying to get him to play for Cameroon but they asked for $250,000
Most of these African nations are lead by idiots
Bakary Sagna had enough sense to want to represent his people but they never reached out to him until he was already capped by France

Yeah I know thats another big issue smh
Also not having the correct facilities and equipment. There is a lot wrong.
We what happens the everything is arranged.
You create the mbappes etc in this world.

Haaland is my choice too if I'm drawing up a team. He has the same attributes minus the dribbling but he more than makes up for that with attacking prowess and efficiency. He is a finisher. Plus he is a better teammate.

Better teammate lol smh.

Bro I mean is your choice. But I won't choose haaland over mbappe. u can play mbappe anywhere at front. That means u can mbappe with a benzema, cr7, giroud hell even a haaland.

While with if u get haaland those options are nomore.

Fa sho, you haven't been watching the news or Mbappe at PSG in general during matches? He has been showing his whole ass on the pitch coupled with the Real Madrid fiasco, he needs to be G checked.

Why would you need to move Haaland? When would you ever play without at least 1 striker with a full side on the pitch? Benzema and giroud would work, nobody can play with Cristiano, benzema didn't get to shine until he was gone - he only has eyes for goal.

 

[Rudey]

Stop that bro
This guy is scoring at world Cup an European Cup and you want to take this talking point?

I am sorry to break your heart man but even from a physical standpoint Haaland outshine mbappe. Mbappe just playing for a better national team. Right now, no way I would choose Mbappe over Haaland.

Well, the US showed that they belong, if only barely. France played a shaky match until Poland just had no legs left. I still think with Pogba and Benzima they're 50/50 favorites with Brazil. Maybe even more. England was a superior team to Senegal plain and simple. People trying to draw all these conspiracy theories out their ass don't know shit about football. Ask Germany. In round-robin competitions, it's the draw that makes or breaks you 75% of the time. If you come out of a weak group the knockout stage is sure to have a heavyweight waiting for you. And vice versa if you're in a group of death - you may not make it out.

And, no, nobody thought Nigeria was ever going to be a soccer power in the 90s or any other time. Côte d’Ivoire maybe but not Nigeria.

You wrong on that

Interesting,

Did the Ivory Coast made the WC in the 90’s?

Hopefully Eto'o fixes Cameroon football. France is the biggest benefactor of African corruption which they instilled and still support!

Looking to get paid inna hurry rather than develop the sport

 

[DJCandle]

Mark him? Lmao, you're tripping. Dude has major accleration AND top end speed with very good and quick feet. He's not the best dribbler but he is damn good and has a great soft touch and a powerful shot. There are maybe 3 or 4 defenders in the world that can actually mark him and none are on a currently playing roster in this world cup. He is actually too quick to foul mostly. They better break his legs if they want to stop him.

He’s not unplayable yet. He’s been marked outta games in Paris by relative unknowns, so I understand Poland’s approach there but nah.. you mark his ass and even at minimum, don’t let him shoot rockets uncontested from the 18. That’s suicide.

 

[PJN]

Japan and Croatia forgot how to think when it's time to score.

 

[PJN]

Japan = Chelsea, always play the ball backwards. Hope those cacs intercept one and score.

 

[SIDESHOW]

Japan

 

[PJN]

That's what I'm talking about...but why's Maeda's face like it's drawn though?

 

[DJCandle]

Rooting for Japan here. They been technical since forever and a day. They’re a superstar (like Son) away from cementing their status amongst the footballing nations in the world.

Kamada will be it in 4 years. imo

He’s 26 now but a talent nonetheless. Hopefully this tourney rises his stock and gets him to an elite club asap. They’ll be ticking in 2026 for real

 

[DJCandle]

I was wondering why they weren’t crossing it with greater frequency. Good goal from the Croatians

 

[SIDESHOW]

dis gon be good

 

[Politic Negro]

 

[DJCandle]

Perisic is cooking

 

[Politic Negro]

 

[smoovejazz]

The ref was cool..."Great goal! But you know I gotta kick you out, right?"

 

[knightmelodic]

You wrong on that

I'm not. In the 90s they made it out of group twice - the two weakest groups and promptly got sent home in the knockout.

Interesting,

No, but the 90s were the youngsters of their golden generation. They had more buzz than Nigeria has ever had. And they did well in the subsequent decade.

 

[DJCandle]

Excellent contest between Japan and Croatia.

Penalties look inevitable.

 

[SIDESHOW]

boooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[ugk]

that was a weak ass PK wtf?

 

[ugk]

another weak PK.. goodbye Japan

 

[SIDESHOW]

omg. WTF JAPAN!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????

it's ova

 

[Politic Negro]

Croatia earned this win

 

[Rudey]

Japan weak asf

 

[slewdem100]

Wouldnt have expected Japan to be fucking up on penalties like this

 

[SIDESHOW]

 

[ugk]

These got to be the worst set of penalty kicks I've ever seen a team kick
