Thread to discuss the football itself.

Moment of the World Cup, that was class
More Argie bargy.
No time 4 either team...
But extra time will be great.
That's why football is the greatest sport in the world. Fantastic goal and drama!
The cheek of the Argie bench chasing after the ref at the final whistle. He's given them absolutely everything.
Irony is, mightn't have happened if a fella was lying under the wall!
Come on now Netherlands, send them gringos packing
Pity Argentina are acting the prick, they had been quite likeable up to today's match
Great free kick. Hope the Dutch kick on and win this now.
Come on the Dutch, this Argentinian team are horrible, including Messi, do not get the love in with the miserable looking buck.
Sean Dyche knows a player when he sees one
You would have to favour the Dutch now. Unless Messi can step up again.
What a top, top World Cup !!
What was all that stuff everyone was moaning about at the start ?.........🤔
Honestly the balls to do that at that moment, moment of the World Cup.
reminds me of the story Luca Toni told about LVG…
The coach wanted to make clear to us that he can drop any player, it was all the same to him because, as he said, he had the balls," said Toni.
"He demonstrated this literally (by dropping his trousers). I have never experienced anything like it, it was totally crazy. Luckily I didn't see a lot, because I wasn't in the front row."
LVG has some big ones obviously.
Dychey wondering why the **** he couldn't do that for Burnley
I'm sorry, what did the Dutch score their equalizer from?
and that says it all about the ref.
Was that the argentinian coach at with ref there?
I didn’t like it the celebration, OTT, have they won yet? Not for me
Jaysus. If this ends up with a last 4 of Croatia, Holland, England and Portugal I might actually have to do the unthinkable and cheer for England !
Argies are being a disgrace here.
Momentum with Holland now, I could see argies lose their sh*t, possibly end up with a red and get dumped out!
A stonewall free? Unlike the borderline penalty that put Argentina on the brink
Delighted to see the smirk wiped off MacAllisters gob. He was quick giving it.
Nerves of steel, playing against 12 men. That was quality.
Messi should now have been sent off, as the handball was as blatant as you could see.
No replay of the Dutch player being challenged in the box.
Scaloni should have seen red on the final whistle, and Paredes should have had 2 yellows, one for the foul and one for kicking the ball away.
Bias, bias, bias beyond belief.
C'mon the Netherlands after all that!!
They need the coin for the electric meter to keep the lights on.
Messi in the refs ear during that break
The fix is in completely
Most obvious free kick ever, pure daft from the Argies
do ya know the way sometimes you watch a game and you dont know who you want to see win?
that was me, but now i hope the dutch win
Great 2nd half..but i wish neither team could go through.
Surely Messi can be given a few more pens to get Argentina through?
