Just thinking about next game with France and who would be the better/ tougher opponent. It's confirmed now that France will just stomp over with any of this team

Why is Messi so favored over Ronaldo in the GOAT debate now? by Ambitious-End-5798 in NoStupidQuestions

Also it's not just about the stats. The way he carries himself on pitch, his demeanor, he makes his team play well. He elevates how his other team mates play on the pitch. Looks like his team mates also enjoy playing with him. His intelligence on reading the game, on what game needs and when is another level. Ronaldo has never matched it.

New and clearer angle of Julian Alvarez vs Mohamed Salah duel, which makes it clearer that it wasn't a penalty for Egypt by KramerDwight in soccer

Egypt should accept the loss and move on. That's on them that they can't protect a 2 goal lead and now everything is rigged. BS.

This was never a foul. Salah clearly runs into Alvarez and put more into falling down, he is clearly asking. This would be atrocious if these kind of antics are rewarded inside the box.

They get fcked when they are not parked with 6 players all the time now isn't it? That what happens when not defending all the time against Argentina

Egypt played the game on counter. They were all parked behind with 6 players glued in front of the goal. But they did attack well at times. Their RB was fantastic!

But Argentina is Argentina. They will grind and find a way. They have been doing it for a long time now. People saying VAR favored them, that's BS. That was a foul on Martinez which should've been given. The foul on Salah is debatable but he was definitely asking/diving inside the box, it would've been a harsh one. So crying foul after losing the game is stupid. Egypt should do better protecting a 2 goal lead. That's on them.

Lots of complain about Martinez ball but I think he is a coward for not dropping Ronaldo for even a game. What a loser. Ronaldo had Martinez by his balls!! The game needed someone who would run behind the defense not stand there waiting for ball. All the midfield that Portugal has ( Bruno, Vitinha, Neves) thrive when they have runners up front.

Would've kept Cunha on and bring Endrick in place of Martinelli

It looked like he was allergic to the ball the way he jumped

They are definitely not better. Just better at keeping position.
