After the first half it was a phenomenal game. I was in a pub in Peckham and despite people not particularly rooting either way the atmosphere was insane.
Also loved that everyone booed the Qatari blokes.
- curiousgal 4y ago> everyone booed the Qatari blokes. I always find this hilarious, half of Canary Wharf is owned by Qataris lol
- carnitine 4y agoHow is it hilarious? I doubt the average English person is a massive fan of Canary Wharf and it’s owners.
- curiousgal 4y agoIt's hilarious because it plays a part in the UK economy and generates tax pounds. So in way or another they are not so disconnected form the people they are booing.
- viciousvoxel 4y agoI really don't understand your point or your sense of humor
- antihero 4y agoYeah no we are rich property owners/developers and what they’re doing to our city. Take your money and fuck off kindly, we’ll keep our pubs.
- antihero 4y agoCanary Wharf is built by the rich to serve the rich, the average Londoner at best thinks of it as kind of a dystopian novelty with big stuff.
- mardifoufs 4y agoThe amazing part is that even the second half looked like a complete bore until the 80th minute. I don't think I've ever watched a match turn around not only in the score, but also in the pace and intensity so decisively and so late. I rooted for argentina but I'm so glad Mbappe almost single handedly made the final legendary by bringing France back from the brink.
- crdrost 4y agoThe second half was better than you think it was and will hold up under rewatching, I suspect. In the first half, Argentina dominated possession and kept France completely on defense and just pummeled them, a boxer just getting blasted in the corner holding gloves up for dear life, super lopsided. In the second half, from the very start, France was hungry for blood, it's just that the Argentinian defense was very strong as they had not yet really had to play much in the first half. It seemed boring because we were already thinking we saw this going 3-0, Messi sweeping up the Cup easily in the last game against a sick team stuck at their 75%. But if you are paying more attention, you will see France with the lead on possession, numerous back-and-forth pushes, lots of French pushes only to be stuck inside a “cup” of three Argentine defenders who shut it down... Then they start to get tired, leading to that first penalty (“let me just hug you in the box”), followed by the French sharks sensing the fatigue, blood in the water, a French feeding frenzy. It should hold up well I think
- IG_Semmelweiss 4y agoif you are referring to the TV....they actually booed infantino, the president of fifa. No one booed the qataris. In fact the boos ended once the king was announced. They love their king and deservedly so
- antihero 4y agoI’m talking about my fellow pub go-ers.
