🏆Match #61: Semi Final - Argentina 3-0 Croatia (13/12/22, 7pm)

I dont want Argentina to win but cast iron penalty to me. Bunch of idiots in studio tonight.

I didn't think it was at first, but seeing the other angle of the keeper sticking his leg out changed my mind. If the attacker collided with any other part of the keeper's body than the stuck out leg, then it shouldn't be a penalty.

Good old Argentinian name, Mac Allister... is he as Argentinian as Andy Townsend was Irish?...

His Dad is an ex Argentinian international footballer and politician
His uncle was a pro in Argentina and Mexico
His brothers are both professionals

Pretty impressive family tree that

An Argentinian version of the Allens

Messi hits a shot straight at the keeper from 6 yards out - Lee Dixon absolutely creams himself.

I was only Messi-ing about..

That's got to be about the 10th deflated ball I've seen in this cup. Not a great advert for Adidas.

Apparently, new footballs for the Semi's & Final.

What planet are those so called panel of experts on,
, that was not a penalty. Of course it was a ****ing penalty you daft pricks. I would've preferred it wasn't, but it was and it was a clear and obvious one, at that. Peter Walton was absolutely right

Vlasic cant get into West Ham’s team but is playing in a WC semi final winning free kicks vs Messi.

[WCpete]

This is a pasting.

[smuts]

Game over.

[sendô]

Well, there’s the difference between England and this quite average Argentina team, and why theyre going to the WC final and we aren’t - they have a world class player who can make things happen on his own, and we dont.

[Cuenca 'ammer]

and that my friends is why

There's Only One Lionel Messi........

[Tarte Encore]

That's just ****ing wonderful from the wee man.

[The Straw]

Now that *was* worth getting excited about from Messi! Superb.

[Garry]

Messi would not miss 2 penalties thats also the difference.

[Garry]

I mean missing the 2nd penalty he would have buried it.

I'll raise you a Tevez and Mascherano. Took ages before either got a game.

well he miss one earlier in the tournament and he did miss one in a penalty shoot out in final of Copa America

Missed 32. 77% success rate.


Kane 85%
