Absolutely shocking, one of the greatest upsets in World Cup History.

Argentina is the reigning Copa América champion with a 36 game winning streak and the second highest betting odds to win it all for what may be Messi's last international tournament.

And they lost to Saudi Arabia a team with a World Cup record of 4-11-2. Historic choke

            he is the best french player imo and france is one of the scarier teams this year, so him not being there is a big win for us, just a lot of football brain going on during the world cup, every brazilian shares the same football brain cell during the world cup

              Not just best French. He won the balodor like a month ago. He's the best player period, this year

                the best french player comment was more of a "somehow people think Mbappé is already there , and he is not there yet" sass than a comment on Benzema he rules

          There’s still Giroud dude. He must more important than Benzema, the latter just not fit with the team compare to the former

            we can't have everyone who is good out like games have to be fun and not having him is a bit of a loss he is a older player and just real good baller, and there are some real defensive teams every time on the world cup poland loves to do it, so does everyone in the balkans, so a really good individual player could decide the game on a long 0 - 0 match

              Yea, I get it. But French is much more balanced without Benzema since he operates in the same space that Griezmann operates.

      We were convinced the goalie took out one of his own men to burn through some of the stoppage overtime.

      Backfired on them, since it extended out to a full 14 mins overtime.
