    James has looked a yard off the pace all half to me. 
    Could really do with a turn of pace on that side too. A bit too slow compared to the left.

    Saka will help.
    Rogers proving a better pick than Madueke though, he’s doing the defensive stuff

    Clive Thomas must be back reffing again.

    We'd take 0-0 at half time. 

    Feels very scrappy with nothing really allowed to build because of the tit-for-tat midfield fouling.

    Messi looking rattled. An angry Messi is dangerous.

    Paul Robinson on 5Live strafing the ref for his performance.

    Feel we are slightly the better team, but this is far too tight for anyone to call.

    This lot are there for the taking. Got to move the ball quicker. They can’t handle it. They’ll be a red in this game. Ref needs to braver.

    Djed Spence the best player on the pitch in that half

    Worry is that Argentina are happy with this because over 120 minutes one of Fernandes/Messi/Alvarez can stick one in from 30 yards. 

    Not sure we quite have that from our squad.

    I don't think the ref has been too bad tbh, apart from missing a couple of potential yellows for them I thought he's been decent enough. Seems I'm in the minority

    I would like to formally apologise for complaining on the other thread about refs not blowing up right on the injury time and allowing corners.

    For what it’s worth, Anderson’s was a yellow.

    but he’s missed at least 2 for them.
    Was great footwork by Messi leading up to it. 

    Sorry if that's unpopular.  

    Anyone's game.     Could come down to cards though.     But then it's Argentina, so to be expected.

    This.

    And Saka on for Rogers.

    I thought when he booked Anderson he booked at least one of theirs before. He was waving the yellow card in the air in the face of them

    he started well and hasn’t been bad blowing for the free-kicks. But he should have started booking them earlier.

    He's fit but not match sharp. But I thought there were glimpses near the end of the half that he was getting used to the pace of it.
    Rice looks more off it to me

    James, Kane and Rice have all been disappointing. James in particular looks off the pace of a game like this. 

    Djed Spence has been brilliant. Bellingham has been trying to get on the ball at least. Rogers on the right just hasn't worked. 

    There's not going to be much in this. I'm finding it absolute torture.

    Spence has been unreal.

    Saka off the bench for the winner

    I give that first half 60/40 to us. But they have a bloke that has made a career out of turning games like this on their head.

    I’m with you. Too much whining on here.

    I didn’t mind that in itself because time was up, but I do have an issue with the fact he only added 3 minutes on. Did he not notice the multiple times the game was delayed because players were being pulled apart and prevented from having a ruck?

    Fully expect their dirty little tactics to get worse in the next 45.

    We have better subs to win this. Gonna be a 1-0 either way.
