Argentina vs France

English
Argentina had their ultimate trial on this world cup and it was demonstrated that they completely depend on what Lionel Messi can or can´t do, the albiceleste didn´t deserve to advance from the group stage and yet they were lucky enough to do it thanks to the scoring system, but the world cup system sometimes is too noble and sometimes it allows you to continue and play one more game and see what happens.

But we shouldn give credit to France, this game wasn´t just Argentina´s mistakes all the time, because even though they were behind 2 - 1 they found the way overcome the negative score when it was highly needed for them, just when Argentina was starting to funtion properly and to understand each other, the ice water bucket came by the hand of Mbappe, who is easily the main reason for France to be a serious candidate to win the world cup. The adolescent from PSG is the determining factor in every game and, as we´ve said before, he is becoming the main star of this French national team..

France opened the score with a penalty kick consequence of a great play where Mbappe stole the ball and went full speed towards the Argentinian goal posts, humilliating anyone who faced him, it was Griezman who converted the penalty. Then, at minute 41 Angel DiMaria scored a beautiful goal - easily a top 5 so far in the world cup - crossing from one side to the other from out of the box, a goal that silenced the whole French side... a bit later Gabriel Mercado would score a second goal, giving the fans a reason to dream about the quarter finals even without deserving it.

But this was not all from France. Young Pavard would score an amazing goal with closing effect that would prove to be too much for the Argentinians to endure and pretty quick after that goal Mbappe scored again at minute 64 and 68, sentencing the game and the South Americans future. It would be only at minute 90+3 that Kun Aguero - who entered as fresh legs a bit before - would raise the red flags fro France putting a 4 - 3 in the score boards, but it wouldn´t be enought, France took the victory home and the ticket for the quarter finals where they will face Uruguay.

Argentina tuvo su prueba de fuego en este mundial y quedo demostrado que dependen totalmente de lo que haga o deje de hacer Lionel Messi, la selección albiceleste no merecía avanzar de la etapa de grupos, sin embargo el sistema de competencia en los mundiales es bastante noble y muchas veces te permite avanzar a la siguiente ronda si tener mucho merito.

Sin embargo no hay que restarle merito a Francia que supo remontar el marcador cuando mas lo necesito, en ese momento en que Argentina comenzaba a entenderse como equipo y a generar peligro con muy buen futbol, sin embargo el factor Mbappe, que hoy en día es la razón por la que Francia es un serio candidato a ganar la copa del mundo, el adolescente del París Saint Germain es determinante en los momentos importantes y se esta volviendo, como ya hemos dicho, en un estandarte de la selección Francesa a su corta edad.

Francia abrió el marcador con un penal causado de una gran jugada en la que Mbappe robo el balón y por velocidad humillo a los defensas argentinos, al minuto 41 Angel Di Maria empato el partido con un golazo al angulo que silencio a todo el estadio, y Argentina tendría mas que decir pues Gabriel Mercado adelanto a los argentinos para poner a soñar a todos con unos cuartos de final con Argentina presente.

Sin embargo, Francia empato con un golazo del Juvenil Pavard en un gran gol con efecto de parte externa cruzando toda el area, este gol fue demasiado para los argentinos que recibieron una probada de lo que Mbappe con dos goles al minuto 64 y 68 para sentenciar el partido y bajar de golpe el animo de los sudamericanos. Ya l 90+3 el Kun Aguero que entro de cambio, levanto las alertas en Francia, pero ya era muy tarde y Francia avanzo a los cuartos de final, donde enfrentara a la selección Uruguaya.

Uruguay vs Portugal

English

A great clash that faced two similar sqauds in terms of player level and quality, but that play a very different game style in the game field.

The south Americans are on their best level and are coming from less to more, fact that you can see when Cavani and Suarez start understaing each other more and more as every day passes; you can also see how Luis Suarez is beginning to feel more comfortable with this formation and how we are beginning to see him in his best level, something we haven´t seen in a long long time.

Portugal was cirtually the same team that won the Euro cup 2 years ago: An offensive team that generates lot of opportunites but that is having the same problem as back then, they lack goals. Even though they have a proven central forward such as Andre Silva, they still need to take that last step to become one of the top national teams in the world that can score goals whenever they make a true effort. Portugal dominated the ball possesion time, Uruguay confirmed themselves as one of the best counterstrikers in the world and Edinson Cavani scored two goals that gave Uruguay the ticket for the next round.

Uruguay´s first goal came at minute 7 with a change of field from Cavani that Suarez gave back to the center of the box and that Cavani, again scored with the head; in the seconf half, the ex Real Madrid "Pepe" scored a header that became the first one Uruguay allows on their goal, but this one came more due to Uruguay´s mistakes rather than Portugal´s good game.

Uruguay tried to be offensive but the ball remained with Portugal who kept trying to score one more goal that would give them their next round ticket, and they got tired of trying without success... the only kick to goal in the whole game from Uruguay came in yet another counterstrike, which also ended as a goal from Cavani giving Uruguay their 4th victory so far in the world cup and gave them the ticket for the quarter finals.

Gran duelo por los octavos de final, que enfrentaba a dos escuadras muy parecidas en el nivel de sus jugadores, sin embargo que despliegan un fútbol muy diferente sobre el terreno de juego, los Uruguayos van para arriba en su nivel colectivo y cada vez juegan mejor al fútbol, la dupla Edinson Cavani y Luis Suarez cada partido se siente mas comoda y se entiende mejor, este Uruguay no lo hemos visto en mucho tiempo.

Portugal fue el mismo que gano la Eurocopa hace 2 años, un equipo ofensivo que genera muchas oportunidades de gol durante el partido pero que tiene el mismo gran problema de siempre, la contundencia, a pesar de contar con un centro delantero probado como es Andre Silva, aun necesitan dar ese paso que los haga una selección determinante y goleadorea. Portugal domino la posesión del balón durante el encuentro pero Uruguay se confirmo como especialista en los contragolpes y Edinson Cavani anoto dos grandes goles que le dieron el pase a la siguiente ronda a los sudamericanos.

El primer gol de Urguay fue al minuto 7 del encuentro en un cambio de juego de Cavani, que Luis Suarez regreso con un centro a la cabeza del jugador del PSG que no fallo y marco el primer gol de los Uruguayos; ya en el segundo tiempo el exjugador del Real Madrid "Pepe" anoto de cabeza el primer gol que permite Uruguay en su portería en este mundial, en un gol que fue por errores defensivos en la marca de la defensa Uruguaya.

Uruguay se fue con todo al frente pero Portugal domino el encuentro y no paro de llegar a la portería de Uruguay, sin embargo en un contragolpe y en lo que fue el único tiro a la portería de Portugal en el encuentro. Cavani cruzo de primera intención un tiro razo donde Rui Patricio no pudo hacer nada en el gol que le daba su cuarta victoria a Uruguay en este mundial y lo colocaba en cuartos de final para enfrentar a la poderosa selección Gala.

Earlier my favorite is Germany , but since they are out I will prefer France

Messi always flop in world cup . He is better for Spanish league

He played well in 2014 edition

I only need to follow one game at a time? Soccer watching on easy mode.

This Soccer World Cup has been incredible for some and bad for others.
However, the good thing about football is that it is very diverse. the worst of today may be the best tomorrow.

Excellent publication, you have my vote.

Personally I think that a team should not depend on a step with Christian and step with Messi, to be champions you must have the sacrifice of all players on the court, each one does his job and will look better. France and Belgium have seen this cup great, but of course as a South American I totally support Brazil and Uruguay
