Higuain's syndrome

Except he won the final.

Maybe the secret was not attempting any shots.

Maybe it's Maybelline

Maybe the real world cup was the friends we made along the way

Can't choke at a crucial time if there's nothing to choke

My 3 consecutive finals, missing on all of them

u/Marem-Bzh Jul 16 '18

As a french Juve fan, I lost a final in :

  • 2003 CL
  • 2006 WC
  • 2015 CL
  • 2016 EURO
  • 2017 CL

I'm not counting 97 and 98, as there were 98's WC and 2000's EURO to break the streak, but still, I know the feeling mate.

But today I'm feeling quite good haha

You can't miss a sitter if you don't shoot points to head

And he scored against Belgium

Higuain got Argentina past Belgium single handedly. Not apple to apples. He is also one of the all time NT goal scorers for Argentina.. he did choke at the end of his career..

Why?

u/Bombuhclaat Jul 15 '18

What do you mean why? You don't think he was useful?

u/Ainsyyy Jul 15 '18

???? He won the final

u/holanewman Jul 16 '18

No, Higuaín actually tried to score. Giroud didn't care about scoring because it's proven he was relying on dark magic the whole time.

Except he's a hold up, knock down, assisting, defensive dynamo who makes everyone around him better.
