The thugs of FIFA are finally out. Their games should be reviewed by FIFA, coaches fined and a tournament suspension should be given for 2030
PARAGUAY IS JUST TRASH AND this referee some should look at his bank account he got paid
These 2 men are clowns. Smh.
Best sport of all time!
I don't know how you can defend Paraguay's behavior as "Aggressive South American Style". That seems to be an insult to South American football. The way Galaza comported himself is absolutely shameful. There is gamesmanship and then there is acting like petulant bully children. In the end, blame the referee for not keeping this under control, and thank god that no players were injured.
This game was a bit crazy, so heated with all those fights! Still couldnt stop mbappe tho, atleast we witnessed our first ever world cup gake 😅🔥
Disgraceful refereeing from start to finish. Three yellow cards for France while the Paraguayans were kicking anything that moved. They played like they’d just been released from prison, yet France somehow ended up with three bookings. And then a Paraguayan gets Man of the Match? What a complete farce. Congratulations—you actually managed to make me root for France.
The South American teams are known for rough and physical game. Uruguay was supposed to be more aggressive but they played nice and instead Paraguay became the worst physical team to play rough in this world cup. Historically Uruguay, Italy and Netherlands have been the most physical and rough teams, though.
Did we watch the same game😢😮😮
When commentators say a soccer-football game is beautiful they mean excellent execution, superior skills, and many exciting goals. The American commentators used ugly to describe this game in terms of tactics. The problem is not tactics by Paraguay. It is ugly because Paraguay was playing dirty. Paraguay was deliberately trying to provoke a fight with France and the FIFA referees on the field allowed it to continue, which made the game ugly. As Fox commentator Thierry Henry said, "The referees allowed the Paraguay action (dirty play) to occur and penalized French reaction." The ugliness got out of hand because the FIFA referees allowed the dirty play to continue with any penalty. I think the American commentators on this program ignored Paraguayan dirty play. If a team playing against USMNT used dirty play I do not think the commentators on this program would call it tactics.
Why are the Paraguay players in tears? Is it because they didn’t break anyone’s leg? They definitely didn’t come to play football and win.
Is this the recipe for success to play France? Talking about the dirty plays? Flops? The insane amount of tantrum throwing and whining to the refs. The blatant fouls even though non were call…. Holy fk who gave them a platform to speak
Paraguay should be ashamed of that performance. That wasn’t football—it was frustration on display. They could learn a thing or two from Cape Verde about playing with discipline and heart.
And the goalkeeper deserves criticism too. If a player ignores you, walk away. You don’t throw a ball at someone because your ego got bruised.
Mbappé kept his composure throughout the entire match despite being kicked, hacked, and provoked repeatedly. That’s how professionals respond under pressure.
This is a football tournament, not MMA. Play the game, not the man.
This game was a homage to Paul Bunyan 🪓
Ref was consistent in only 1 way:
Black players get cards for minor fouls. Non-black players get no call or card when fouling black players
It’s a consistent bias in international and European ref performance.
Nothing is done about it, which makes it institutional racism.
this game featured two of the most memorable performances of this World Cup: the most disgraceful, embarrassing example of dark-arts shithousery football by Paraguay; and the most disgraceful, embarrassing example of incompetent refereeing by Ilgiz Tantashev from Uzbekistan … and that's assuming that it wasn't simply the most disgraceful, embarrassing example of bribery by Ilgiz Tantashev from Uzbekistan. if there are two countries that need NOT be involved in future World Cups, let's hope we remember them: Paraguay and Uzbekistan. and — given its less-than-stellar reputation a scandal-ridden governing body — one has to wonder: why the f*ck would FIFA make an absolute mess of a match of this magnitude by assigning arguably the worst referee to ever "work" a World Cup match to Ilgiz Tantashev from Uzbekistan? and why would FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, openly admit that he was rooting for Argentina … and that he was "suffering tremendously along with Argentina" during their controversial victory over Cape Verde? are those two questions related? (hint: the answer is "yes".)
A lot of the comments are from people who seem to be new how Paraguay plays. This is exactly how they qualified for this World Cup.
In fact this game looks like Swan Lake ballet compared to their qualifying matches.
By the way can someone finally say that Messi is playing his 6th World Cup and Mbappe his 3rd. Mbappe has 19 goals (10 goals in the knockout out stage games). Mbappe will destroy the World Cup scoring record if he plays in 4 world cups, never mind 6 world cups.
“Keep his head” Galarza was the antagonist who started it. Olise didn’t do anything. Paraguay was awful and should’ve received 3-4 yellow cards. You guys need to temper your reactionary comments
I hate American commentators smh …
This panel is completely stupid
Mbappe didn’t stay hot. He got a penalty kick.
Otherwise the game was a tie.
Paraguay brought and left fighting spirits, intensity and psychology to the game to make sure France’s players were not playing with too much comfort and confidence and actually minimized to 1 goal to France.
Paraguay’s tactics proved to be working to make France’s offense uncomfortable and exhausted.
This was interesting game.
Those two guys don’t know what they’re talking about
The worst ref ever, to allow this behavior of Paraguay. You can't blame the players, but the ref to have all players in control.
Up until yesterday I touught the French team was an unbeatable super team. Now after this match I have high hopes that they can be defeated.
It's as though this is the first time any of the presenters have watched a football match 😂
Bob Bradley looks like a lost Alzheimer's patient lol
The first man talking does not seem to analyze the match well. How can France create chances with that levrl of rough play by Paraguay. A normal referee would have given most of the Paraguan players yellow card and at least 2 yellow cards (red) to two Paraguan players. They kept grabbing the French players from making runs.
Paraguay players, grow up. This is football, not wrestling.
