    Looks like France will be the WC finalist again. They are too good.

    What a trap from Giroud in the midfield.

    I just don’t understand how some fans claim Haaland is better than Mbappe. The latter is a superior player by far.

    I mean ... 15 mins left, a goal down, they have to push for a goal. Not sure why that's surprising.

    The awful defending and not man marking Mbappe...he was bound to score one of those sooner or later.

    The way Giroud trapped that sky ball was unreal, and then the space he created by dragging defenders away was smart. Not sure why he's underrated the way he is.

    We'll see... England, assuming they win tonight, would be their first real big test. The games will get harder from here...

    You push forward, you leave holes. The same could happen to the best defence.

    Ouch. A bit harsh for the Poles, but they've given up since going 2:0 down.

    England doesn’t stand a chance against France. Mbappe and Dembele will rinse that English defense.

    Lmao VAR is a complete circus in this WC.


    Anyway, Poland deserved some reward for their unusual attacking effort today.

    Well, three out of three and everything going according to plan so far.

    I guess people had some faith in USA yesterday, but for now all three matches had heavy favorites.

    Yeah that was the only possible upset yesterday.

    Argentina and France were always going to win.

    Senegal v England will be a better matchup.

    He's the perfect combo for Mbappe
