Exactly. Just because it's a 3-3 final that went down to a shootout, featuring Lionel Scaloni ....

Wow, what a game of football :shock:

That’s a good point. The whole thing needs tightening up really.

Is John Terry on the pitch dressed as Sergio Aguero?

Yes mate, all part of the game and people are forgetting that Thuram took a dive near the end of the 90 trying to win a penalty.

This doesn’t make sense. Stuttering your run up is within the rules. Delaying the opponents penalty is not, and is punishable by a booking for unsporting conduct. You may not agree with the rules, but the refs job is to implement them and he failed.

The fact they all cheat doesn’t make it ok - and Thuram was correctly punished by the ref.

I honestly think the ref was scared to send off a keeper in a World Cup final shootout.

i don't admire it but diving is cheating more than throwing the ball away surely ?

So penalty takers get away with all sorts but keepers can't play mind games?

Behave! :crylol:

The young player of the tournament trophy looks like something you’d win at a school sport’s day

Well worth a yellow card though. If you con the ref you've pretty much won the WC with a late penalty. Martinez should have been yellowed but why didn't the ref grab the ball ?

Not worth diving if you care about winning fairly, it’s sad that none of these players do. It would bother me if I cheated to win a trophy.

Considering Argentina had the best keeper, best young player and best player overall, they must be disappointed to only beat Mexico, Poland, Australia and Croatia.

Feels like they’ve taken the chance in 2022 that we failed to in 2018.
