France beat Argentina 4-3 in Round of 16

Yes, of course.  I read "Final" into what he'd posted, and of course Argentina lost the Final in 2014 to Germany, not the last one.

[Buzzrock 14,952]

I mean that was an insane strike. Falling down volley aimed perfectly.  

Insane. And a frog’s hair from off side.

what a comeback by France, although I'm rooting hard for Argentina.   France has the transport portal type look to them, mercenaries. Excuse me while I get racial, but how does France have so many black guys? I know the general population has a lot of Africans but I'm sensing some twisting of the passports here. 

I think a lot of them were born outside of France. But that's just how international soccer works regardless of race/ethnicity. A lot of the US players were born outside the states. 

Maybe not - actually - the few I checked were all born in France. Larger point stands.

[Hagbard Celine 10,938]

PERFECT call

sniper in the box?  yellow

[ConferenceRoom 6,147]

Great call from the ref. 

[Eskimohorn 5,644]

Ref with a good call

[sidis 9,832]

Well bonjour…

[Surly Bevo 25,222]

Mbappe just walking around cool as shit after two assassinations

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,823]

Where was that call on the first Argentina goal

There’s a reason most of Africa speaks French. The French colonized most west African countries and there was a lot of immigration as a result.

[TexArcher 38,081]

Ugh, Martinez got a hand on both goals.  He'll be sleeping with those memories forever if they lose this.

Over/under on stoppage time = 3.6 hours.

[Surly Bevo 25,222]

Gonna laugh my ass of when this goes to extra time after a year of added time and penalties and runs into the NFL for Fox

France and Britain were the 2 largest colonial powers in Africa. One of the legacy benefits is their diverse player pool.

the Brits also were dominant there, especially Nigeria.  This reminds me of the Olympics and the wealthy Arab oil nations who somehow magically granted Qatari/Bahrain/Kuwait/UAE citizenship to super athletic African dudes.

7 became like 10 in first half

[Longboard Horn 40,565]

Free kick for France 

[RamjetFDO 10,578]

8 minutes of extra time 

I've both loved and hated the extended "real calculation" of extra time.

That Di Maria sub…

I know he wasn’t 100% fit, but it’s his last match in an Argentina shirt and his club career is essentially cooked. He was still running with his hair on fire and your biggest offensive threat outside of Messi. Very questionable sub that maybe titled the balance here.

It will be funny seeing the scramble for viewers to find the National Geographic Wild channel when FOX makes the switch. 

[YChang 3,463]

Mbappe is just on video game mode right now

[Incredulity 11,684]

Jesus 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

this game cannot end in a draw, correct?  Yet Vegas has +280 for a Draw (iirc). How is that possible? 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

That’s a back pass.  

[Surly Bevo 25,222]

He wasn't in the box anyway I don't think

[Longboard Horn 40,565]

Lol a yellow card on Giroud

you're not getting a penal 8 minutes in to stoppage

[Bama Chick 28,596]

This could get ugly.
