    "clear and obvious" :useyourhead::drakelaugh:
    takes 2 mins to review.

    So var so far:

    Not used to call back bs dive
    Used to give a bogus and dubious penalty.

    I won't call it a conspiracy though, i'll call it "the way it was mean't to be". It happens, Barcelona should've been in the final to beat madrid but we lost along the way, so we can't complain about who wins.

    This is like me saying Barca were lucky to receive calls years ago when they won, f--- off and stop creating these childish narratives

    I mentioned before I hoped VAR wouldn't be a protagonist today, it's hard luck for Croatia who've been stellar this 1st half. The midfield line is doing well to thrive in the halfspaces on both sides (especially Rakitic) meanwhile they stretch France's low block with the flanks. The high press was working well in the beginning but two unfortunate goals made their lives that much harder. It's gonna be a similar trend in this 2nd half, Croatia pushing aggressively meanwhile France doing what they do all tournament and punish an error

    The Kante yellow card gotta be exploited, they really have to start creating more overloads to make him take more decision-making risks. Plenty of hope left but France is just solid in the back

    Umtiti and Varane been solid most of the tourny..... but Pavard getting absolutely exploited by Perisic at the moment.


    A pretty entertaining/controversial first half. I hope Mbappe turns it up in the final!

    One thing Croatia has done well is if you look at how their entire midfield line (sometimes both fullbacks) sit right above France's midfield block, looking to stretch it out or move between the lines--Pavard struggling a bit with the overloads but so far so good for France. Mbappe will have 1 or 2 opportunities
