El Profesor Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Come on, Lewy! You have one job tonight.
Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 Argentina well on top. Should be ahead and need to score the first goal.
Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 This should never be a penalty
Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 That is obscene. These referees and officials. Madness.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 30, 2022 Subscriber Posted November 30, 2022 Absolutely bizarre decision. Great save.
El Profesor Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Just now, Stan said: That is obscene. These referees and officials. Madness. That reminded of the penalty given to Portugal vs Ghana in a play involving Ronaldo. The fact it was Messi definitely influenced the decision.
DeadLinesman Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 That was given because it’s Messi. It can be the only explanation.

The Messi one is ever so slightly less controversial but neither should be given in a million years.
Lucas Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Not gonna lie, I was a little bit gutted to see Messi miss that pen. When he scores, it's just different, the atmosphere is electric with those Argie fans. 100% wasn't a penalty of course, but Poland have just sat back and done nothing. If Argentina had shown more quality with their final ball when in great areas, this game would be over IMO. They have shown the right intent but missing quality. Hopefully Poland's negativity doesn't get rewarded. Don't want to see them v Australia in the last 16 at all.

Acuna needs to do better from all the balls that come over to him from the right.
Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 1-0 to Argentina! Mac Allister's scuffed finish puts them in the lead.
Moderator Tommy Posted November 30, 2022 Moderator Posted November 30, 2022 Just checked the line-ups. Argentina have a player called Mac Allister, and Poland have Matthew Cash. Should have at least changed it to Cashski.
Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 Game over for Poland! They're screwed if Mexico score one more...
El Profesor Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 That's definitely the best argentinian performance in this World Cup. I think Scaloni might have found the ideal lineup. Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez deserve to start.

Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Author Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 Just seen Poland are only 2nd based on having fewer yellow cards in the tournament so far.
Danny Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Poland are gash but Argentina playing really well, keeping hold of the ball, defending and attacking in numbers, they look the threat they were built up to be prior to the Saudi game.
Lucas Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 I hope Mexico grab a late goal. Can't have Poland scabbing through on lack of bookings, fuck that. They've been shit.

Only just scraped through against Saudi because one of their defenders lost control of their legs.
Lucas Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Danny Murphy has actually said something that makes sense. If teams are level after points, goal difference, goals and H2H, most shots on target is better than bookings. At least it rewards positive play.
Rick Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Are we forgetting that Mexico have been wank and offered next to nothing as well. Either team going through is shite.

Harder to decipher shots on target when if bookies are anything to go by He's still mind-numbingly dull though.
