If the Netherlands level this I think it's game over for the Argies.
Getting spicy now, would love extra time here!
10 mini added. C’mon Netherlands.
Paredes should have got a yellow for the foul and then another yellow for kicking the ball away after the whistle?
Edit: What Weepsie said
For all his prancing the Ref. has no control over this game.
!!!
That ref is a joke.
How did VVD escape a card there?
More carry on from Argentina. Good on Van Dijk.
I don't know did a Dutch player strike out.
It's all kicking off here.
Wow. Some reaction that!!!!
Starstruck.
The messi protection is ridiculous. No foul and definitely not a yellow.
Think this ref wants Argentina in the final 😬
Don't get you last sentence is a wall not taking away an attacking option. There is nothing against another player behind the wall. It looks silly but your job is to stop them scoring and giving away a free does not negate you trying to stop it happening
How many dodgy penos has Messi been gifted in this tournament? Didn't even get a yellow card for this because the ref probably wants his autograph after the game:
If Ronaldo or Neymar got away with that, you'd be foaming at the mouth worse than you do over United.
They remind me of the 1990 team who kicked their way to the final.
Yeah much as I love Messi I wish he kept that crap out of his game.
How long before Van Dijk goes up front?
I thought that was in!
Thought that was in, serious power on it
Bullet of a shot from Holland, just wide.
Didn’t think Messi was touched in that “tackle” and he went down like a sack of spuds.
Squeaky bum time for Argies
Now this will be fun
RTE clown of a commentator said he wouldn't be involved after coming on in 3 games, great header.
Game back on!!
Well, this is interesting. Some header from 'Veeghorst' as Darragh calls him.
Great goal. Makes for an interesting 8+ mins.
I just want someone to dink the ball over the wall sometime, there first instinct will be to turn around and run back and then they'd all trip.over the dude lying down.
Just once it's all I ask don't even care if a goal is scored.
