I thought it was a pretty clear pen

agreed .. lots on here would only agree it was a ever pen for Argentina if the defender decapitated the Argie, and probably not even then lol

Well if the player gets the ball first...

Clear penalty. The keeper was wrong footed.

Of course if Messi had stuck it down the middle, the keeper would have been the hero!

But he didn’t. He waited until the goalie committed himself.

Cmon….

Go on the Dutch.
What's taken so long? Stop pretending that you're a good football side and have a go.

Great header. Such an underrated thing. I love a good headed goal.

Lincsaddick

but this is typical Argie football; niggly, argumentative, dirty, time wasting 'orrible cannuts

Ball is gonna be in play for about 30 seconds of the next 6 minutes.

Modern football is obsessed with passing midfielders and wide attackers, but this tournament has shown the weaknesses of teams without a decent Number 9. Imagine this Dutch side with a Van Basten, Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy or Van Persie up front

Or Wout Weghorst.

ForeverAddickted

Wow... Shame that was wrong side of the net

superclive98

Shit. I thought that was in. 

Indianaaddick

Come on messi there's no crying in football.

Exiled_Addick

The Argie centre backs look tiny all of a sudden. GET IN THE MIXER!!!!

Addick Addict

He might be a great player but I don't fancy Messi's chances of out jumping Weghorst

Cafc43v3r

That's not a foul, let alone a yellow.

superclive98

10 minutes injury time please (unless the Argies score again). 

Cafc43v3r

Proper hockey fight 

ValleyGary

Fuck this ref. Protecting his little mate Messi. Embarrassing 

Addick Addict

Oooh it's all kicked off

superclive98

Idiot Argentinian. Should be a red. 

Callumcafc

Tasty!

ValleyGary

Hahaha love it. Argie cnuts.

I appreciate that some might disagree but, with the odd exception, I think the standard of refs has been excellent. The biggest aspect has been the waving play on when a player goes down. Hopefully, this will continue in the PL and fewer and fewer will try to win free kicks in doing so for fear that VAR will expose them. Whether that feeds its way down is another thing all together although there has been a definite shift there too already.  

As I say, with the odd exception!
