You want to talk about top-level coaching? England and USMNT fans, take notes:
Deschamps taking off Giroud, bringing on Marcus Thuram and moving Mbappé into the central striker position was a master stroke. Here’s why: It protected Mbappé from the absolute pummeling he was getting on the left wing. It put someone out there who was quick as well, but also more capable of enduring the physicality. It gave them a more reliable outlet to break Morocco’s pressure and it put his most dangerous player closer to goal where he can influence the attack in a meaningful way again, which is exactly what happened in the second goal.
He kept his cool, accurately assessed the problem, looked at his bench, trusted his players, and made the necessary adjustments as soon as possible. The result is they won 2-0 and they’re going to the final. Great players rarely get very far without a great coach, and Deschamps proved his worth today. If England had him as their manager I think they could’ve won it all, I really do. Well done coach. 👏🏾🧐
This has been the weirdest World Cup I’ve ever seen. There are only four games left and:
We have Croatia, Morocco, Argentina and defending champions France left.
Croatia doesn’t know how to play regular matches and they will only go into extra time+ penalties because drama?? Luka loves the pain?? Good luck little elf.
Morocco hasn’t let ANY team score on them (just to prove a point they scored an own goal)and beat Cristiano and Co. They are the first African team to ever reach semifinals.
NO S H A K I R A SONG— but she tweeted!
If France wins this, they’ll be the first time team to win back to back since 1962.
Qatar spent $300 billion to organize this WC.
Christian Ronald’s played his last World Cup game ever and Georgina was his biggest fan.
I will now follow every Japan and South Korea game. #IWillGladlyBeA6ToThat9 oops?
It’s not coming home A G A I N
Neymar cried :( and Suarez cried :)
Our skin cleared up when Messi said “Que miras BOBO?!”
I hope Canada, Mexico and the U S of A bring it in 4 years( well 3 and 1/2 now )
The World Cup writers do this every time. They give you a favorite underdog to root for only to rip them from you at the last moment and in the most painful fashion.
