Last night’s World Cup final was an emotion❤️
What we found interesting is that there are parallels between the character of Kabir Khan in Chak De India, the real-life story of coach Mir Ranjan Negi, and Argentinean coach Lionel Scaloni.

Chak De India was released in 2007 and was loosely based on the true story of hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi. In the 1982 Asian Games, Negi was the goalkeeper for the India men’s national field hockey team in the final field hockey match against Pakistan which India lost 1-7! 
After the match, Negi was made the target of much humiliation and shame, even being labelled a "traitor".
He returned to hockey, 16 years later as a goalkeeping coach for the men’s hockey team when India won the 1998 Asian Games gold at Bangkok.
16 YEARS LATER!

It is grim irony that today's #WorldCup final is being played today, Dec. 18, which in 2000 the UN General Assembly proclaimed International Migrants Day. At least 6,500 migrant workers died in #Qatar to make #Qatar2022 possible. feministgiant.com/p/essay-footba…
Some workers plunged to their deaths building the city that did not exist but which has hosted #QatarWorldCup, some died in the hellish heat of Qatar’s summer (a heat the footballers & fans were spared by the unprecedented decision to hold this World Cup in November and December
Others, men who left their home countries healthy, died a few years after repatriating from conditions directly related to the abusive work conditions they endured in Qatar.
The families of those men who died to make this men’s World Cup possible have not been compensated.

Loving this @BBCSport footage from Rosario of the young Messi and his vida Argentina.
Love both these teams, and what a spectacle to come, but I’m a long time fan of the Argentina magic so… #VamosArgentina #ArgentinaVsFrance.

Gotta love this this roar coming from Buenos Aires with the goals. #ArgentinaVsFrance
This men’s #WorldCup represents the apotheosis of #Fifa fuckery. The more we let Fifa get away with, the lower it dragged our moral bar with it until we arrived here, the Qatar World cup, the apotheosis of fuckery and the nadir of a moral standard. #FIFAWorldCupFinal
Authoritarianism: check. Misogyny: check. Homophobia: check. And yes all that checked for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. I am guilty of playing along with sportswashing. I claim no higher moral ground here.
But.

Qatar WC took that fuckery & plunged further into that nadir because even for those who play whataboutery game, for whom no country is free of sin, the 6,500 migrant workers who died while making this WC possible was our loudest moral alarm bell & collectively we failed the test.

Argentina v France • Tactical Preview [THREAD]
➡️ Scaloni go 3-5-2/4-3-3/4-4-2?
➡️ Target Theo or protect against Mbappe?
➡️ Can Alvarez hurt Varane or will Kounde/Konate help
➡️ Paredes could help Enzo against Griezmann...

The formation is any ones guess, Scaloni has not repeated his formation or lineup since the start of the tournament. He is the Tinkerman of the World Cup but more often than not, he gets the big calls right...
Can Tchouameni mark Messi?
Tchouameni took Bellingham out of the game in their titanic battle in the quarter finals but patrolling the area Messi operates in is a different level of tactical understanding.

But the rules need to be applied equally
Referees - like @amnesty - can blow the whistle on visible foul play - but systemic injustices remain!
