    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

    Ah this ref is such a prick
  • The Dutch aren't going hoofball now, it's Total Hoofball

    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.

    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.
  • Wow... Shame that was wrong side of the net
  • Shit. I thought that was in. 
  • Come on messi there's no crying in football.
  • The Argie centre backs look tiny all of a sudden. GET IN THE MIXER!!!!

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

    That's not a foul, let alone a yellow.
  • 10 minutes injury time please (unless the Argies score again).

    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!
