We definitely dodge a bullet with Kounde. A half fit 100 years old di maria had a field day against Kounde 

Interesting seeing the reaction to Aguero going full kit, lifting the trophy before actual players and even joining in with on pitch and dressing room celebrations. It doesn't bother me, but we all know what the reaction would have been like had Terry done it.

People taking offense because Terry now makes fun of himself about it.

Tata Martino sold out that particular match though.

Still, the first half of the final alone is all you need to watch, Argentina dominated and it was all about Enzo controlling possession and Di Maria having a lot of space to work with.

21 years old and 10 tackles in a World Cup final, second highest since Gattuso himself. Most passes made as well. He can do it all.

Alright - I’ve had enough of all these goals and free flowing attacking football. I’m ready for some sideways action again - let’s go Potter ball!!!!

And a massive congrats to Messi and Argentina. Not my favorite team, but respect their fight and massive admiration for the career of Messi. 

☺☺☺☺ I think we can safely call it " Chelsea ball" these days !

No trains for me Boxing Day , guaranteed then that Chelsea will play attractive, astonishing football.!!

Mbappe looked like he was resisting the urge to tell him to f**k off 😆

I know !. Why don't they just leave the players alone, you could see Mbappe was unhappy about it

and Infantino draping that ridiculous cloak round Messi and hanging into him as if he owned him, just keep out of it ffs, it's a wonder Infantino didn't award himself a trophy at the end.

Terry just laughs off all the hate, that really upsets them even more !

Break the bank. 

Why is Todd not meeting up with Enzo's agents right this second?! 

 

This kid will win Champions Leagues (provided he stays healthy and motivated)

I mean if he had any sense he'd be speaking with Benfica representatives regarding his release clause.

Agreed. Just rewatched the game again just to experience it sober and this Enzo kid is the mustard.

If Pep got to him first, City will be set for another decade

He can play in all thirds of the pitch given his technical ability and defensive game. 

Did you see Argentina's third goal? When Messi, Lautaro, and Enzo all combined together? That ball Enzo played to Lautaro to split the defence took the utmost precision and gentle touch. How many times have we seen the likes of Mount, Havertz, Kovacic, etc completely overhit that pass which leads to a goal kick?

Exactly! The kid was so fluid, he knew just where to go and hit France where it hurt.

If Todd doesn't break bank for Enzo, he'd better break bank for Mbappe. Those are really the only 2 that would elevate the team to challenge for trophies again

There is no chance for Mbappe to leave PSG.

Didn’t see any World Cup matches from last 16 round so cannot comment on how any matches or players preformed during the tournament. Seems to have been entertaining.

All I will add is Englands best ever World Cup song from 1998. None of that coming home sh*t.

 

Martin Samuel of the Mail bumped into Gullit at the WC, he alleges Gullit 'joked' if you had been less vocal about human rights you might have avoided a South American ref in the quarters.

It's right to be pissed of with the pair of them, both of their names fit nicely onto the chant.....

He plays when he wants, he plays when he wants, Hakim Ziyech , he plays when he wants !......Mateo Kovacic , he plays when he wants !

But Potter and the club will not question them for fear of upsetting the dressing room.

This is what we have now at the club, a bunch of players in cosy jobs, over paid a basic salary, no need for them to perform for the club.

I hate to say it, but i can see it getting worse in the coming months with players having no will to fight for the badge.

 

They're playing for Potter who plays them out of position & has no tactics!
