France don't deserve to win this tournament. Have been probably the worst team in most of their knockout games. They were lucky to beat Belgium in 2018. 

That’s tournaments football for you, you don’t always have to be the ‘best’ team to win these competitions - so many other factors come into play.

Some seriously ungracious and rose tinted comments on here first half. Argentina are ahead because they are the better team. By a distance….a good two goals difference. 

Still wouldn’t bet a lot against France. They remind me of the good German sides: they’ll keep plugging away even when they’re struggling, and they only need a break to be back in it. 

Sadly, I didn’t bet anything on them, either ?

France had been terrible, then Otamendi doesn't clear the ball into row Z gets his legs in a tangle and it's a penalty.  France score and suddenly they have energy and its all change. Having equalised France must be favourites now, although the Argues have plenty of subs they could use.

It never fails to amaze me how effective momentum is in football (and sport in general)

As soon as they got a goal the whole dynamic of the game changed. A team completely dead and buried at half time it seemed, are now looking like it’s just a formality they’ll go on and win now.

Argentina absolutely hanging on and look like a pens coming every time France enter their box, desperation at the back!
