Full Time: England 1 (Gordon) Argentina 2

[Banana]

What is Jordan doing? No need for that stupidity.

 

[LongLostBee]

Obviously all South Americans are horrible dirty cheats but the Argies are the pinaccle. Not as over the top as some of their counterparts but even sneakier.

 

[gbems92]

Gordon ffs, did so well but pass the f***ing ball

 

[Untouchable]

It’s a horrible, horrible brand of football.

Referee needs to be firmer. The game hasn’t got away from him yet.

 

[LongLostBee]

Ref is desperate not to open the floodgates of yellows because he knows these b*tches won’t take it as a sign to stop and force him to keep dishing them out.

Less of the vitriol please.

 

[Lbhbee]

The boys need to keep there heads, the argie w***ers are just trying to get a reaction

[Banana]

Messi doesn't look "on it" this evening. (famous last words)

 

[JANORAK]

When did Martinez go grey? After we won at Villa Park?

 

[The Pipe]

Should we fail tonight the final could be Carnage between Spain and Argentina with dark arts all over the place!!!

 

[LongLostBee]

Well done ref.

 

[LongLostBee]

Lovely big upstanding Argentine gentleman was just giving Pickford a cuddle. Repeatedly.

 

[ladbroke]

I doubt this will end 11v11

 

[stomalomalus]

That’s 5 fouls by Simeone already. When does the yellow come out? How many is repeated fouling?

I’m not convinced of Kane speaking to refs this WC, but that might just be because they don’t work on reality…

 

[TW1Bee]

Boring game so far.

 

[BeeInSW19]

Simeone, just like his old man, a ***t!

 

[HaylingBee74]

I doubt this will end 11v11

Tuchel red card is most likely

 

[Banana]

Messi is the worst player so far.

 

[olliebfc]

Simione jr looks like Alf

 

[Untouchable]

Very cagey at the moment.

 

[LongLostBee]

Rogers needs to cut out that shoving.
If Stones had scored it’d probably have been ruled out.

 

[Untouchable]

How many more before Simeone sees yellow?

 

[Carri Bee Un]

Greasy little ****

 

[Banana]

How many more before Simeone sees yellow?

I think he just got his final warning. Head into the ribs too.

 

[aslan]

Simone is scum and the ref spineless

 

[gbems92]

Simeone literally acting like a goat ramming with his head

 

[LongLostBee]

Spence is absolutely on fire.

 

[Banana]

Got to put pressure on Simone. Run at him etc.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Simeone has to be carded next time, surely?

 

[Banana]

Simone is scum and the ref spineless

None of those fouls were worthy of a YC in and of themselves. The sheer number however is, and the ref (I think) has told him so.

 

[Untouchable]

It’s joke that the referee gets his card out after being surrounded by Argentinians.

 

[aawharris]

Absolute f*cking disgrace of a ref

 

[Lbhbee]

They are really a dirty team, making England react, Spencer went for a shove instead of the ball, and nearly let the ball go past him

 

[JosephBFC]

First foul on their love child and instant yellow card. Stab on the back of Jude’s calf and nothing. Bent ****s

 

[Banana]

It’s joke that the referee gets his card out after being surrounded by Argentinians.

That is a card however.

 

[LongLostBee]

Guess my TV remote has a microphone.
Dunno what I shouted to make it suddenly swap into its main interface!

 

[SWL Bee]

More Argie filth, refs are an absolute joke

 

[stomalomalus]

Disgusting. First real foul we’ve conceded, others were more technical, and we get a yellow. 3 fouls we’ve made. Simeone has made 6 alone

 

[Gazza Bee]

Not sure how that is a yellow when compared to Simeone committing about 50 fouls so far...

 

[gamidov]

How is the first card to England!!

 

[ladbroke]

That is a card however.

It is but he has had a very high bar for cards until now.

 

[SWL Bee]

How is the first card to England!!

Touching Messi not allowed, hack down Bellingham on the other hand…

 

[Lbhbee]

Got to stop doing that long ball from pickford,it ain't working, just giving them the ball back

 

[LongLostBee]

It’s a miraaaacle!

 

[LongLostBee]

A card a card my kingdom for a card!

 

[ppobee]

That is a card however.

For Spence maybe. Messi fell into Anderson

 

[Banana]

Disgusting. First real foul we’ve conceded, others were more technical, and we get a yellow. 3 fouls we’ve made. Simeone has made 6 alone

It was the first bad foul of the game and stopped Messi making another 20 yards. Deserved yellow. All the fouls previously were niggly

Argentina just got a card for a similar reason, stopping a player making 10s of yards upfield.

 

[LongLostBee]

Anderson properly stitched up Bellingham there. Needs to calm down a tad when we’re outnumbered up top.

 

[Banana]

For Spence maybe. Messi fell into Anderson

Only after being hacked down.
