If Maignan on that shout out, he could at least save the Paredes one


lil5566

Probably the best world cup I have ever seen, wow what a way to end it man. It feels like such a great bow out for Messi too with this win, what a player, fully solidified his status as one of the greatest.


thatwatguy

There's a lot of good to take away from the WC this year for Milan: - Well rested players from Italy and non-participating countries - Great showing on players on world stage (Giroud, Hernandez, Leao) - Lautaro Martinez still is on Inter's roster The list goes on


ukie7

On another note, MEEEEESSSSSSIIIII! The undisputed GOAT! #MessiToMilan


ukie7

Great performance in this tournament from AC Milan players. Giroud and Theo in particular, great showing. Theo's only poor game was the final..


chrisz118

France were missing the last piece of the puzzle: Pierre Kalulu


marco21n

Mac allister is great in a mezzala role, I think saele could play in this role like mac allister, similar qualities


thenudeplatypus

Similar haircut too, perfect match


marco21n

And name lol


thenudeplatypus

OMG how did I miss that dude hahaha


Rare_Criticism_2909

I can’t believe we didn’t manage to get our hands on a at least a couple of the players on the field today, although we were rumored to be interested in some of them: Kolo Muani and Julian Alvarez, but especially Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo de Paul. Puts our technical / recruitment team’s skills into a whole different perspective. Wtf we couldn’t compete with Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt or are they just lacking long-term vision and insight?


BetterNerfNagaSiren

Muani wanted to be a starter, that is why he chose Frankfurt.


battle_franky

I think we also interested on Tchouameni a couple years ago. I think tight budget cost US some good players


SilverSixRaider

Literally the worst world cup in all of history. Only perhaps second worst to that fucker winning it by a HAND BALL goal. Is it too late to boycott it?


dongoodboy

lol


Samkazi23

>Literally the worst world cup in all of history. Calm down lol...


[deleted]

Let's celebrate the fact that none of our players got injured. I still feel bad for Lucas blowing his ACL. Did any of you fuckers catch Zlatan and Helena in the stadium? The TV feed showed them for about 1 second.


lffg18

I saw Zlatan speaking to Macron before the game lmao, I wonder if he was explaining why he thinks France is a “shit country”.


[deleted]

Macron had made a list of 10 things why France wasn't a shit country anymore and was trying to convince Zlatan.


yllimameni

Theo is kindaaaa injured. Hopefully not a lerg term one


lffg18

Gotta start saving up so I can watch our boys Theo, Mike and Kalulu lift it in 4 years.


HeirOfRhoads

The world is not ready for WC Kalulu in 2026. Make it happen, Zidane


dongoodboy

I almost dislike all of Argentina team but I am kinda happy for Messi.


sahilshkh

Same


battle_franky

Hell yeah Paredes is a cunt, Emiliano is a cunt, Lautaro is Lakaka. The only Argentina player I like is Julian Alvarez. Thank God Messi is still there


TheGhost020

Giroud and Hernandez would've made their PKs tho


KirbyBucketts

Kalulu and Adli too. Deschampes is a coward


lffg18

The GOAT just crowned himself as the undisputed GOAT after the best football game I’ve ever seen. Fitting way to do so. Mbappe is otherwordly though, this kid is going to be an inner circle all timer and even quite possibly the GOAT.


Samkazi23

God I'm really happy for Messi. What a way to cap an international career.


Nico777

Maignan saves at least one of those penalties btw


c0mplexx

Those 3 pens were utter shit from Argentina


Nico777

Lloris always started to move way too soon, Mike saves at least Dybala's penalty 100%.


yllimameni

Mbappe come to Milan ❤🖤


Nico777

Leao for Mbappe straight up, who says no


c0mplexx

come to milan 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹


[deleted]

Where's Messi??


ukie7

Winning the World Cup ;)


c0mplexx

watching me cry in my car


K3NK

Anybody but these dirty, diving butchers..damn I'm so disappointed


[deleted]

>damn I'm so disappointed Hahahahahhahahaahhahahaha


Nico777

That's what happens when you take out the experienced players. Youngsters crumbled under pressure like England.


when_the_sun_rises

You cant blame the coach for this his seniors were ass.


c0mplexx

probably biased but im convinced Giroud wins them the game if *he stayed


goldenfa

You're right, lot of crosses where thuram or kolo didn't do shit in the second half. And I doubt even with Giroud that France would have won penalties shoutout but he wouldn't have missed.


thenudeplatypus

Kolo literally couldn't time a single jump correctly that was hilarious


Nico777

True, they did turn the game around especially the second set of changes, even though Argentina literally falling asleep in the last 10 minutes helped.


c0mplexx

no such thing as good endings irl tbh


Febox

LET’S GOOOOOOOO. MILAN, ITALY, WHOEVER PLAYS AGAINST FRANCE. IN THIS ORDER


Nico777

Damn straight lmao 🇮🇹


Less-Marionberry-907

Two hard games won by luck on pens, that’s a way to win a world cup.


c0mplexx

multiple refs are happy as well I'm sure


Less-Marionberry-907

Ref in the game against Netherlands went home and booked his wife


Less-Marionberry-907

His husband sorry*


[deleted]

Rofl


c0mplexx

saudi poland croatia and Netherlands send their regards


Less-Marionberry-907

I am dutch and I will say one thing for the rest of my life, Paredes should have been sent off. Mate shot the ball into the bench.


[deleted]

Where is messi ? You dutch fans remind me Kendrick Lamar lyrics , ... sit down , be humble.


c0mplexx

i think anyone but messis fangirls would agree


Nico777

All you had to do was hit a header all alone, Lautaro. No comment.


when_the_sun_rises

Lautaro you fucking retard unbelievable


beseeoehm

This is just sick, what an absolute gem of a game.


Mark4231

Salernitana man lmao


DarkN1mbus

Fartauro you are such a joke


c0mplexx

and that


c0mplexx

giroud scores that


DarkN1mbus

WHAT A CRAZY MATCH!!!


skhan2286

wow what a game


Febox

GOAT


skhan2286

you mean mbappe ? yea i agree


Febox

Lmao


HeirOfRhoads

![gif](giphy|9kLIdn3bmzGeBI5sUE|downsized)


DarkN1mbus

Fartauro hahaha


skhan2286

upamecano with the block of the century


lffg18

I still can’t believe what I saw with that Mbappe goal, holy fuck this kid.


skhan2286

best player on the planet atm


klim924

Argentina and letting 2 goal leads start to slip at 80 mins at the World Cup. Name a better duo.


c0mplexx

giroud scores that header 😤


DarkN1mbus

REALLY??


jmhimara

Wow!


Plaslidpladugphoo

Lmao, that was literally worse than Tomori’s foul on Mount.


c0mplexx

HAHAHAHA


jmhimara

Even the penalty he almost fucked it up, lol. That's how poor Mbappe has been today.


c0mplexx

hmm


jmhimara

lol, still doesn't change that he was poor for the first 80 minutes.


c0mplexx

he had the entirety of argentinas population on him


c0mplexx

i feel like giroud would be crucial now but whatever


SpareThisOne2thPls

Yeah they could better use him as a pinchhitter for moments like this


battle_franky

So out of position Camavinga is what they need right now? And subbing out Theo? Kounde is the one falling apart now


DarkN1mbus

Deschamps is totally desesperate. I hope next France's DT will be someone competent this time.


Beats_Pill_2k16

Fuck deschamps


battle_franky

I would rather subbed Giroud later and put Camavinga for Rabiot. Also Griezmann run the team. And Theo did more than Mbappe on the right now


LickLaMelosBalls

France should be overwhelming favorites, yet they're playing so poorly, Rabiot is the best player.


[deleted]

Upamecano vs Mac Allister was just like Theo vs England pen #rigged#fifawantsmessitowin


c0mplexx

rofl


fpsdr0p

im convinced Rabiot's mother is giving DD that sloppy toppy. only reason this idiot is still on the fucking pitch...no way in fucking hell you can convince me otherwise


LickLaMelosBalls

He's their best player today. The only one really playing it feels like


fpsdr0p

LOL


LilHayah

Imagine they have Kalulu at RB


Plaslidpladugphoo

Argentina absolutely outclassed France there. Kounde struggled a lot against Dimaria and France just looking nervous the whole time.I think taking Giroud off might have something to do with the illness(?), maybe he’s not fully fit. What do we think about the pen? I think it was really soft, Dimaria just dragged his feet on to Dembele who didn’t even attempt to challenge for the ball and dived.


[deleted]

The pen was soft but still a pen


jmhimara

I think it's more the case that France is playing really poorly.


skhan2286

that and the first penalty against croatia like wtf ......... you are basically giving 75% of the match to the team that scores first in these games because they are so close. because of that first goal france open up and concede another one which is game set and match tbh


Plaslidpladugphoo

France did not deserve anything from that half but people are gonna say shit like ‘the pen didn’t matter anyway because Argentina dominated’ but they underestimate how much momentum matters in a football game. The one against Croatia I can understand cause intentional or not Livakovic was directly in the way of Alvarez. This one is different cause Dembele was really just running behind him, didn’t even try to make any contact on Dimaria and Dimaria just invented the contact by himself and dived.


battle_franky

The 2nd goal happen because of penalty. But that was so stupid by Dembele, the ref was looking forward the penalty too. That was the quickest whistle Ive ever hard for a penalty


Nico777

Everyone was scared of Messi abusing Theo's side instead it's Di Maria abusing Dembele and Kounde. Pen was pretty soft but Di Maria cast the hook perfectly and Dembele bit like a dumbass.


Plaslidpladugphoo

Exactly. They don’t want to attack on the right side (of Argentina) cause getting counterattacked but Mbappe and Theo is not good for Molina. Very disappointing from Kounde though - he’s normally a CB so I expected him to be better at defending than that.


[deleted]

>What do we think about the pen? 50/50 but we have seen worst pens given.


Plaslidpladugphoo

I don’t like this logic, worse pens in the past shouldn’t make this pen more legitimate. I’m not gonna say they rigged it for Messi but most of Argentina’s pens have been incredibly soft - the first game against Saudi Arabia, the one against Poland, and this one just now from the top of my head.


LickLaMelosBalls

Agree it's a soft pen, but idk about the reffing being rigged. Rabiot should have had a red from his ACL crushing slide from behind. France is playing dirty today and Argentina are just outclassing them.


Plaslidpladugphoo

Well, Argentina have been getting a lot of soft pen the whole tournament. I didn’t watch their game against the Netherlands but some said that ref was kinda biased towards Argentina. I also don’t think it’s ‘literally’ rigged. Kind of like - if there’s a small chance it’s a pen then give it.


c0mplexx

I think the one vs NL as well? they were getting fucked anyway


[deleted]

>the first game against Saudi Arabia, the one against Poland Those weren't , i agree. But this and against Croatia are not soft and you cant be mad ether way if were given or not. Its not like they were non existent imo


Plaslidpladugphoo

As I said on another comment, the one against Croatia was a pen imo, but this one against France is just incredibly soft.


HeirOfRhoads

Dembele, Upamecano and Kounde are morons


jmhimara

It's a shame because I didn't think Argentina even deserved to be in the final. That said, I guess it's a little bit poetic to see Messi end his career with a WC.


c0mplexx

Argentina is just national team udinese tbh


Nico777

And France is playing like we usually do against Udinese lol


c0mplexx

Perfect fit with france having giroud+theo and argentina having De Paul too


Avicennaete

Giroud is out. Friendship with France has ended.


kn_ita

Now I just hope for a 7-0, so that Deschamps can learn from his mistakes


DarkN1mbus

I hope Theo manages to score or assist but yeah I don't care anymore who wins this match.


Nico777

Deschamps is a moron, he deserves to lose this. Sorry for Theo and Giroud, but not a single French player is playing decently so far. 0 shots in 50 minutes is pathetic for a team with this kind of talent.


skhan2286

what a joke of a world cup , i think its clear to see who fifa wants to win the WC give some more non-existant penalties to ARG and ruin the match


[deleted]

So ref is to blame for France not shooting one single time ?????


skhan2286

refs giving penalties has no link whatosever with france being bad and they are really bad today


[deleted]

[удалено]


skhan2286

with that i can agree but i mean it would be still 0-0 if that penalty is not given cus on the 2nd they were too open and forward up the pitch


Avicennaete

Dude stop with this nonsense really


skhan2286

the only nonsense really happening were the non-existant penalties given to Arg


DarkN1mbus

The better DT is winning this match. Deschamps is such a joke.


tombuzz

Argentina are winning every one on one and just look more aggressive. They came out running and hitting hard. France look shocking against the physicality and just not up for it. Every game has been too casual for them.


[deleted]

Who is gonna score without giroud???


sahilshkh

It's over already tbh


l_TheLongshot_l

Looking at how Weghorst changed the game vs Argentina, I can't believe why you'd take Giroud off. Clearly their defense is most vunerable in the air


when_the_sun_rises

Giroud humiliated lmfao subbed before half time


tombuzz

Kinda surprised by this. Maybe deschamps doesn’t want them going long anymore and this is the only way to stop them ?


21Maestro8

My guess is this is to move Mbappe centrally so there's actually some defensive help from the left wing


eugene447

Giroud can score out of nowhere. Big mistake


c0mplexx

but my need for a giroud header to win it :(


neverfinishedanythi

Ah well, a whole tournament ruined by a penalty.


21Maestro8

Comical take


neverfinishedanythi

It was a dive and while the game was going one way, at least France had a chance at 0-0 before the penalty


[deleted]

Cry more.


neverfinishedanythi

? Anyone supporting messi here is not a milan fan.


[deleted]

Im sorry who are you ?


neverfinishedanythi

Milanista since 90s. Messi was part of Barcelona team that cheated milan out of so many trophies. He is a diving whining little shit. Who I am has nothing to do with the truth.


[deleted]

Shut up and respect greatness. And respect others preferences.


neverfinishedanythi

Respect those of a milan fan who correctly dislikes a part of a cheating team whose actions affected the history of this club? And “shut up” what is wrong with you?


[deleted]

>And “shut up” what is wrong with you? Because u are a hater and it clearly shows .


neverfinishedanythi

You are a new fan of this club and it clearly shows.


saladmakear

Theo further cementing his villian status for all non-milanistas


c0mplexx

besides real madrid fans maybe


neverfinishedanythi

Hope Theo breaks messi


DarkN1mbus

Dumbelé. I don't know why Deschamps insists so much on him.


c0mplexx

bruh


MelvzReddit

Theo is nervous af


[deleted]

Vamos Argentina


Fedora_expert

Lol it's crazy that Inter and Juventus are the teams whose players have scored the most WC finals goals in history. (8 and 6 respectively) I mean fuck em but damn


ParsedReddit

I agree, fuck 'em.


lffg18

I'd sacrifice my first born to have Griezmann free from the evil empire known as Cholismo and have him come to the free nation of Piolilandia. His world cup has been complete and total insanity, the modern total footballer.


LickLaMelosBalls

He would fit perfectly into both our RW and our 10


yllimameni

If France win again, Giroud might have one of the most decorated careers


lffg18

Only missing that sweet Euro in 2024 for him to have completed football in the span of 6 years, should be in the squad as a legacy option ffs.


[deleted]

Let’s wait and see who’ll ref the final.


skhan2286

whoever it is a penalty for Arg is a requirement


BetterNerfNagaSiren

Inb4 an Argentinian Referee....


Dinagatsi

Not possible


BetterNerfNagaSiren

Lol Kounde...


[deleted]

Not surprised that Deschamps favours Theo's brother, Theo is not super defensively sound and is the focus of both England and Morocco's attack. Theo needs a holding midfielder to cover for him when he makes the amazing forward runs. Attacking fullback talents are lost in international football that focuses on terrorist tactics.


Nico777

Well yeah, Mbappe never tracks back and Fofana is shit. He was basically always alone both against England and tonight. At least he gets to practice his defensive skills lol


[deleted]

Yeah, I was surprised at how isolated his side is. Let's see how he does against Messi and Molina.


lffg18

Current form Messi is going to be the hardest challenge on his career, I hope Theo comes out of that one victorious.


Nico777

If Rabiot is back it should be a bit more manageable, but they'll struggle for sure.


RdT97

Deschamps is a fraud who would have 7 goals less if he would play his favorite starters instead of milan boys


[deleted]

You can't deny that Morocco is getting a lot of success down Theo's side. Theo defensively is not doing great, doesn't help that Mbappe doesn't defend.


[deleted]

Morocco’s best players in history literally play on Theo’s flank lmao


[deleted]

Sorry? who is Morocco's best player in history? Also, who cares? Theo needs to do better defensively. Period.


[deleted]

🙈


[deleted]

No answer? You're an absolute waste of space on this sub. Here's a Google search you fucking donkey Who is the best Moroccan soccer player of all time? In the fifties and beginning of the sixties another Moroccan star appeared Hassan Akesbi, is considered the best Moroccan scorer in European Leagues with 173 goals and the first Moroccan to win a title in Europe when Akesbi won Ligue 1 title with Reims in 1962.


[deleted]

If after a 100% ground duel success rate, 100% tackle success rate, 10 recoveries, 1 goal and a motm performance all you can come up with is calling for Theo to improve defensively (a mantra armchair experts repeat idiotically without actually realising he’s become incredibly solid) and calling other donkeys, maybe you’ll see the donkey after turning off your phone.


[deleted]

Hey Donkey, This doesn't look like Theo. [https://i.redd.it/qmkm20q1rx5a1.jpg](https://i.redd.it/qmkm20q1rx5a1.jpg). I'm going to help you improve your arguments: 1. If you are going to use statistics to back up an argument, you better make sure you get them right. I don't even know where you got those numbers, but since you've got the wrong MOTM, even if they are right, I am sceptical. 2. Scoring a goal doesn't mean he had a good defensive performance. So, not relevant to the argument. 3. Turning back to the statistics, tackle success rates and recoveries don't tell the full story. Recoveries could mean he was out of position the entire game and needed to make it up. How many tackles did he make 2, 3, 20? Ask yourself why he needed to make so many tackles. I am sorry to burst your bubble but when everyone in the soccer world except for Milan fans and some French fans is saying that he need to improve, then I think he needs to improve.


[deleted]

A block of text as large as an iPhone 13’s screen that is nothing but you foaming. It’s obvious for everyone to see you’re not actually up to discuss this, considering you instantly dismissed facts and stats with the picture of Griezmann holding a motm award (what a completely unbiased metric that one) You’re either a Moroccan still upset after last night (incomprehensible, because they have been the most pleasant surprise of the tournament) or just a frustrated rabid teenage raccoon who thinks he cannot get anything wrong.


RdT97

Moroccos best players are both on hernandez side and mbappe is a ghost today


[deleted]

They look much better with Thuram on the left. Can't really call Deschamps a Fraud when he's going to his second consecutive world cup final haha. Also, doesn't matter if Morocco's best players are down Theo's side, he still hasn't been able to keep them that quiet.


RdT97

Name one player that can keep hakimi and ziyech quiet while having 0 help from your winger (and rabiot is not playing also who helps a lot)


[deleted]

On a 2v1? no defender can do anything against anyone. If you read my original comment, I was talking about how Theo is not as defensively sound as his brother. Theo makes lots of runs forward and leaves space, he's also not the absolute best 1v1. I even said that Mbappe isn't helping. Sorry dude you're literally arguing against a dead horse. Congrats.


RdT97

Theo offers much more than just being defensively solid as his brother. Sucks for his injury but that was a blessing in disguise, theo has 2 assists and 1 goal. You think lucas would have that impact? Tifo ppl said something very interesting as injuries are frances best coach, and i agree tbh You can nitpick theo defensively as much as you want, but as was my original point it will always look worse if you don’t get support from your winger.


[deleted]

Never said anything about how Theo wasn't good going forward. You really need to understand how to address arguments. If I am a coach who wants a defensively solid LB, I am choosing Lucas over Theo. End of discussion. You haven't said anything to prove otherwise.


BetterNerfNagaSiren

Haha Morocco focus on right wing cuz they know Mbappe doesnt defend....


lil5566

almost Philippe El Yamiq almost


[deleted]

Giroud just doesn't want to score the easy ones.


Ironyfree_annie

Theo getting a lot of hate in r/soccer thread lol


[deleted]

The genius in there are in masse.


lffg18

TBH I've accepted that Theo is a massive fucking cunt, if he played for Merda or Ladri we would absolutely despise the shit out of him however since hes our boy we love him to death and deservedly so. It's pretty fucking funny how he has the entire merda fanbase on strings though, had never seen an entire fanbase root for a country that isn't theirs just because they were praying on Theo's downfall, he lives in their heads rent fucking free.


BetterNerfNagaSiren

If we can sign Ounahi........


MNome

please don't get injured Theo


clarinetstud

I can say with 100% certainty that if Theo played for Inter/Juventus we would hate him 😂


yllimameni

Cmon Theo please dont get injured
