I mean bro is manhandling opponents and calling them “bobo” and stuff 😂. Like as a Barca fan who’s watched him my whole life, I’m not going to say he was timid his whole career, but this dude is a whole new person from the guy who lost the WC in '14.

What happened?

    > They tried to do the same with Argentina but it backfired horribly,

    How did it backfire horribly? Wasn’t it a fairly even-ish match which then Argentina won on pens?

      We must have watched different matches. The Dutch survived off of schoolboy long ball punt tactics. Two very fortunate opportunities, when Argentina dominated them with their own system throughout the 120. The Dutch were lucky to make it to extra time, let alone pens.

        It was the karma for us in the last world cup, not being able to close the match in the last 10 minutes. Australia almost tied, Netherlands had two miracle goals and Mbappé tied the final out of nowhere

      ‘Fairly even match’

      Now that’s funny. It’s a miracle the Dutch survived till full time
