    France vs a former French colony would be wild

    Totally fair. I also do not want only European teams. I also can totally understand anyone not liking the dutch this tournament (or in general).

    I would love a Croatia Morocco finals

    Jealous of the Moroccans.

    As for Argentina, its tough but you have to root for them if you are from latin america.

    The rules goes like this

    1. your team
    2. brazil
    3. teams from latin america
    4. argentina
    5. underdogs

    Exchanges get toxic as hell but you are still people who share language, customs, history, and problems.

    Him walking to the locker room in tears, by himself, without acknowledging his teammates, opponents or the fans was a very fitting ending.

    Wild stat, Ronaldo has zero goals&assists in his world cup knockout game history (eight games).

    Looked like a foul on Saka before the French counter, but whatever. What an absolute missile in a perfect spot.

    Kane is just a complete striker.
    Not a thing he does not do well.

    I don’t know any of the other dudes besides Di Maria. I am rooting for Messi to win a cup.

    France is missing some of its best and impactful players due to injuries (Kante, Benzema, Koman etc).

    They are so loaded on talent that even with injuries they can still field a very good team and win most games despite the idiot DeChamps in charge.

    If they had a fully fit squad, there was absolutely no one beating the team.

    Their weakness are that they are average on team chemistry and link up plays, the mid field is average and, Lloris as a GK can make errors. He can’t get away from his Spurs genes.

    VAR only investigates possible penalties, the one call was a possible free kick, set piece....

    I won't say that my posting of this was good karma...but it was a hell of a coincidence.
