Thanks, dillwyn! Unfortunately that's what Argentina relied on, luck. Little strategy, no organization, no playing as a team... I was right when I said they didn't have much more than what they have shown the first 3 games. In the end it was good enough that we gave France a decent fight. It's a pity because with these players Argentina should have done much better than that, but the mess in the coaching and the federation was too big. On another note, my guess of Kane being top goalscorer and Mbappe being best player is looking pretty good, huh?

Cavani, what a player!
But what a pity he got injured, Uruguay's chances take a big blow without him.

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, Mbappé.
So sorry Helmut83 . Argentina needs a "Real" coach, not a player-coach. Dybala is a wonderful player, but he can't play because Messi doesn' want to play with him.
I still wonder how it's possible that Portugal won the UEFA Euro 2016, so I'm not surprised about their elimination at all.
A big round of applause for this man's bravery.

So sorry Helmut83 . Argentina needs a "Real" coach, not a player-coach. Dybala is a wonderful player, but he can't play because Messi doesn' want to play with him. And it's been like that for years, him and his father. At this point I'm wondering whether Messi has harmed more than has helped Argentina's national team. Besides, for being regarded as one of the best players ever, he never saves us. I look at Suarez and I feel jealous, that guy doesn't have excuses, he plays his heart out every times he wears the light blue Uruguayan jersey. He never fails in big games, and the times he has saved Uruguay are countless. Instead, Messi always has an excuse: that they don't pass him the ball well, that the coach uses a system he doesn't like, that his friends weren't playing, that he was marked by too many opponents, that it was too sunny or too rainy... aren't you the best player in the world? Then when are you going to save Argentina? Opinions are opinions, but I find ridiculous that opinion that Messi is better than Maradona. Messi only works in Barcelona, with many of the best players in the world surrounding him. Take him out of that environment and he yields 50% of that. He would never have been able to make a team like Napoli champion twice like Maradona did. PS: el Maestro Tabarez is a boss and a true gentleman. Great respect for him.

No video/link Buttler, it wasn't a video, just a twit with Lineker's comment.

Have a safe trip home.
Sorry but I really can't stand this player...

Sorry but I really can't stand this player... Same here. I was so wishing he would miss his penalty! He converted it, but the elimination of his team is good enough for me. What Lineker's twit said is: " Messi is the first player in World Cup history to be a false nine and a false coach in the same game".

I couldn't agree more.
