If it is played with the football mentality of Stoke vs. Burnley then it is

Not really. Both sides play football from the 90s. Boring, slow, low risk. Not entertaining at all. And since I dont have any emotions torwards any ofd these countries, I couldnt care less.

I disagree

I do not need pinball football to appreciate the game

I am very much into tactical football

So ig your a big fan of Mourinho 🤣

Enzo completely missed wide left

Same here -- different matches offer different things
 

Argentina will find themselves hard done if they don't go through -- outplayed the dutch for most of the game.

[Gundalf 804]

Thank god its Argentina 🤗

the best Chels team ever was Mou's 2004-2005

if we had not been fucked by that no call on Hyypiä pulling Kezman down in the box near the death in the CL semi final v Pool we would have won the CL that year as well

Hope Croatia kill them

Argentina lost a few players w/ second yellow, but they are better than Brazil and will pose more of a challenge mentally to Croatia.
This Brazil side wasn't very competitive in the end -- they can put on a show on their day, but that's not how you win WC.

This Argentina grit + Messi genius will be hard to contain, IMO.

Likely final is now Argentina vs France, but single-elim football, so 🤷‍♂️

Well that Mou side actually created chances and was not afraid to take risks to show flowing football. I was talking about Mourinho at United or Tottenham. Very tactical, but extremely boring to watch. 

Ig Chelsea under Potter is also very tactical.

I find it hard to believe that Kovacic is your favourite player, yet you say a game where he will be on display for billions of people, and likely will have yet another magnificent, world class game like today's........... is a 'waste of time'

we have been a tactical team for ages

I do not find it boring

what I detest is the large number of shit offensive players we have purchased

In the end, football is just a game, one of many forms of entertainment. And tbh, to watch an episode of Westworld with my gf would be more entertaining than watching Van Gaal football vs. Croatia. 

Some people arent even following the WC bc of political reasons.
