It’s Messi vs Umtiti and Dembélé!
The World Cup is now officially LIT as we reach the knockout rounds. The group stage was a lot of fun with plenty of great goals, great performances and shocking results, but now it’s time for the real big nations to clash for a place in the quarterfinals.
And the Round of 16 begins with perhaps the biggest matchup of this phase: France and Argentina will clash in Kazan today, and good lord this should be fun. The French are one of the favorites and have a crazy amount of talent all over the squad, but they just haven’t managed to put together a top class collective performance yet.
They’ll have to do that in this one, because they’re about to face Lionel Messi. Yes, Argentina are not even close to favorites and they are simply a mess. So what do you do to take care of the mess? Turn to Messi. (I am proud of this joke and I don’t care what you think).
And it should be a treat for Barça fans, too, because it’s Messi against Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé. They are all expected to start this one, and it should be really fun to watch. Can Messi shock the world by beating the mighty French? Will France’s play finally match their talent? We’ll find out.
So join us after the team news are announced for a LIVE BLOG! It’ll be fun!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, no swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do will be warned, and those who post links will be banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another, especially when it’s the World Cup.
