    Same in our game wasn’t it. Ref was too late with them. Should set the tone early.

    That was a yellow card tackle in the first minute,  never mind the 13th.

    Is it a subconscious thing? Do refs not want to book Argentinian players?

    Its mental. That was a textbook yellow, arguably closer to a red than no card

    Neither team look great. Spain marginally better I’d say.

    Infuriating in a way.

    The officials couldn't make it more obvious.

    Couldn't be a more blatant yellow, you just knew they wouldn't give it. 

    Never thought I would be rooting for Spain but here we are, hope they stuff these dodgy pricks.

    Definitely a case for a red there. What’s VAR for?

    It's the way the refs give Messi a free kick the instant he turns to whinge that winds me up too.

    Once again, the ref needs to get the yellows out early to curb this from Argentina. 
    Exactly what I just said to my brother.

    Have a feeling an Argentina player is going to get wound up and do something stupid. If it gets punished or not is a different question

    Wasn’t actually an insult tbf. 

    He’s an annoying player but very talented on the ball. Just not quite as good as Marcelo was.

    In an attacking sense no.

    A case for getting Nico Williams on here for Baena at some point? Bit of pace on both flanks and could free Yamal up

    Not much of a game so far. Hope it picks up 2nd half  and Spain win of course.
