France was completely dominated for 70'. No chance creation at all. Deschamps substitutions helped, but the tie was mostly Argentina's decision to close the game parking the bus in halfway manner and Mbappe. As soon as they tied and Argentina recovered from the hit, they started dominating again. Save the 5 m after France scored the second goal and Argentina was dazed, there is no point in the game where France played better. Scaloni was much better today. Perhaps he should have fully parked the bus (rather fall back timidly, but did not work with Netherlanda) or bring fresh legs earlier (but it was a tough decision, most Argentine players were having a good game). It does not take from the fact he completely surprised Deschamps with Di Maria en the left. Nobody before this game had thought of attacking the French right. They all attacked the left and France knew how to solve it.

Before the game, I was saying (to nobody in particular, haha) that ARG's best defense would be a *good offense*. Scaloni correctly identified that France's willingness to be passive early in games had yet to be exploited by a team with as much firepower as Argentina. England had come close, but couldn't fully capitalize. Scaloni took a bold approach with DiMaria and the 4-3-3 to start and it paid off - not just in 2 goals by HT, but in keeping France on their back heels and even forcing Mbappe to track back further than he normally does, which somewhat mitigated his speed advantage. Argentina's midfield were also aggressive as heck once again, clogging the middle and frustrating France's pace with the stop-go play from the fouls. Scaloni doesn't yet have the long resume of other coaches, but he deserves more props for his tactical flexibility through this tournament.

For me, the key was bringing in Camavinga on the 2nd half -- he eventually got the best of a tired De Paul, and that changed the game completely. Messi and Julian also stopped pressing. Around minute 60 I was hoping Scaloni would bring in some fresh legs (Palacios and Lautaro), or maybe Lisandro Martinez to sit deep with 5 defenders. That could have closed off the game, but oh well, we were born to suffer. Paragraph aside for Mbappe, after minute 80 he was a complete nightmare. This game is absolutely historical, likely one of the best (if not the best) world cup finals ever.

Argentinian here. ARG clearly dominated the first 70' of the match, and the only problem was we couldn't score the defining 3-0. Coaches wise, what Deschamps did was outstanding. His team ended up with a chance to win 4-3 when they shoulda lost 3-0. That, along with having the courage to make subs 40' into the first half and seeing that turn a profit, goes to show how well Deschamps read what was going on and how well he reacted to such a tactical thrashing. Actually, imho Scaloni should also have made some subs right after the 1st French pen was awarded. During the ref/VAR discussions and all of that, if Lisandro Martínez or Pezzela had entered, perhaps the 2-2 would not have happened

Scaloni. What a tactical genius

2 things that has to be mentioned is that not short after Argentina subbed out Di Maria for Acuna which is a defensive substitution, France scored their goals. And there was way less threat from the Argentinan side without Di Maria. 2nd is the Argentinan play style was very energy consuming and Scaloni didn't substitute anyone else until it was actually to late. I'd actually like to see an analysis on the extra time, because both teams looked as if they didn't want a penalty shootout and attacked with all their might.

I think it was mainly due to an unstructured French side. All subs were to create chances and overload final third not to build-up play.

Argentina missed a really good couple of chances but then France missed a clear chance last minutes of the extra time. Could of been 4-3 or 3-4 but went to pen.

Lloris like always, amazing in game but absolutely terrible in Penaltys. We will come back stronger, we have an amazing generation coming with Kolo Muani, Thuram, Upamecano, Camavinga and others. The pressing of Argentina was too much for us, well played to them, Di Maria was a MONSTER, not sure why he took him out because from that point we started to have more room and the game switched. Congrats to Messi, this is the icing on the cake for him and his career. We see each other football fan in 2024 for the Euro ;)

Argentina was about to go 3-0 when a long shot with a mistake from the defender brings france back to the game. Scaloni won the tactical match by far.

That first time was the most dominant display I have seen in a WC final in my lifetime (granted I have only watched 8). But forcing your rival to make two substitutions before half time? Never seen that before! If Argentina lost it would have been so unfair after that display.

Deschamps corrections were made out of emergency, and they worked partly because Argentina paid the price of the high physical demand of their own approach. I think Scaloni completely outsmarted Deschamps, whom just reacted and ultimately ended up putting a team of young, fresh sprinters on the pitch.

Great match by Argentina, the whole team, particularly the midfielders, were impressive today. Some distractions in defense led to the draw, still a deserved win. Deschamps went all-in during extra-time with a broken team with no midfield, leading to scoring chances for both teams. The Dibu did what he does. Maybe more experienced players should have taken France penalties?

@@killme4569 when we enjoy the matches like these, we need to know that this isn't just a normal match, this is the battle of the chads, between the real men. A club match seems to be casual for them, but when in national team, they are about to bring honor and pride to their nation, their people. When patriotic love kicks in their heart, they are willing to give up any individualism or selfish ideas just to give their all to value the country. Messi once out of his physical prime is known for being very lazy at running. But we have remember how he ran as if he was only 20 years old. Patriotism can push anyone beyond their limits and blur every thought and leave only one motive: "i have to do what it takes, for my team, for my people, our country." The clash of men always bring goosebumps to the audience.

I think that the mistake Scaloni did was indeed in the substitution of Di Maria, but not because he took him off, but because off who came in. In that phase of the match he should have adapted to a more conservative three center back with Lisandro Martinez instead of Acuna. Even if he was willing to keep the same formation, maybe putting Dybala instead of Di Maria's would have been a better option. In the end in football even with the best tactics it's the small details that win the games, Romero's mistake in the penalty kick, the ball Messi lost in midfield before the second goal and De Paul not covering in defense all the way down, Montiel blocking Mbappe's shot with the hands in front. But also the magical foot of Dibu preventing the forth of France. What a game! Argentina definitely like to suffer! And for me Messi is the GOAT.

I am Argentine, and I am interested in reading or listening to the analysis from abroad. Your video is very interesting, I agree with many things. When I found out that Di Maria was positioned on the left wing, I almost got sick. I must admit that I made a very ugly mistake with Scaloni, he showed in this World Cup that he is very versatile tactically, and he has no problem giving up the ball (against Croatia), or dominating the ball as against Poland and France, if that is what the game requires. Greetings from BSAS.

It's easy to make bold substitutions when you are losing 0 2 and the game is ending since you have nothing to lose. To me Scaloni deserves more recognition because he could have played with a line of 5 defenders without taking risks but he chose to control the ball from the start.

Taking Di María out was one big factor in the turn events of this match! Argentina almost lost because of that decision.

Substitute camavinga did very well in midfield...his defensive and attacking work rate was insane...and coman attacked wide spaces very well...and mbappe was so clinical....but at the end messi is goat....argentina won....congratulations argentina 🇦🇷

I think if Scaloni had brought on Lisandro in the 2nd half in a 3-5-2 it might have brought more defensive solidity which would have seen the game out in 90 mins and prevented the comeback.

I think there’s two or three main reasons as to why Argentina almost let France win. 1. Taking off Di Maria- this has got to be the number one reason, his ability and skill was just terrorizing the France right hand side. I bet even with a stronger player they subbed on Di Maria would’ve still caused problems. 2. Allowing pressure to amount - Argentina are the best at having possession and playing from the back, versus the Netherlands showed the whole world that Argentina are vulnerable at the back especially if you have strong, and faster attackers. Also overloading them is a very good idea. 3. Probably just giving away that first penalty, I know France were putting on pressure, but I think Mbappe scoring the first goal really was the reason why France stopped looking sloppy. In all honesty Argentina outplayed them for the first 70 minutes- I think we can all agree that. I think the first half they played may have been the best half they’ve played the whole tournament and the second goal was a perfect personification of the tactics and the performances from the argentine players. But of course France have the youngest, and fastest overran squad in the whole tournament, that is very dangerous. I mean I was so fucking anxious, I literally woke up twice in the middle of the night thinking I had messed the game and that France had beaten Argentina each time I woke up.

For me, removal of Di Maria and not replacing him with a threatening player (Dybala?) was a tactical suicide. It completely shifted the balance in favour of France and Argentina lost the plot.

I discussed this with my mates as well and they fully agreed. Regardless keep up the good work man and best wishes to you and your family.

Scaloni is mastermind he literally dominated france throughout the whole game france hadn't got a single shot on target till that penalty and they didn't create any chance till 70th minute and it was individual brilliance of Mbaape that saved france and if Lautaro could have finished the chances he got in the extra time he literally could have had the hattrick right there....

wow, this is SUCH an analysis btw, I love how correctly you pronounce both spanish/french surnames :O
