  • That was one of those penalties where the forward dived but the defender did commit a foul. I hate seeing players choose to go down, but if refs won't give fouls for minor touches then I guess it's hard to blame forwards for going down and forcing them to make a choice. Pre-VAR he might have got booked for that, but VAR would confirm there was a foul before the dive happened, so in the end I guess penalty's the right decision.
  • Argies up to their dirty cheating tricks already. Get ready for 70 mins of diving and rolling around

    Soft? What on earth? Heels clipped, clear foul, clear penalty.
  • Now, on the other hand, we're starting to seen Argentinian diving that can only be called cheating. This could end up being a really terrible game if the ref continues to buy it.

    Ref was desperate to gift Messi a goal here. 
    How many penalties have they had this tournament?
    That was Messi's fourth penalty of the tournament I think
    Fifth! Fourth scored

    Looked it up, 4 pens scored so far this tournament, one in the group stage then QF, Semi and final.

    All plays into the 'Messi's world cup' narrative etc.

    Argentina have only one way to win. 

    Dive, dive, dive, dive. Messi penalty. 

    5 penalties in 7 games so far.

    Pity the French didn't play like this against us. They're all over the place.

    Qatar get the result they want. Messi holding up the trophy. 

    Wish we could have a look at the food poisoning incident from the French team camp last week.

    This is terrible. Fuck football.
  • Great goal. The French have been terrible, still suffering from the virus?

    Wonder if the bug they've had has affected them.

    Seem so lacking in energy.
  • Will MacAllister face Charlton?
  • What a decision to start Di Maria after nine minutes of Football this Tournament
  • Need a France goal to make it interesting at least.

    Scaloni has been the best manager this tournament. Don’t think he’s made a single misstep since that shock loss to the Saudis.
