Devil Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Dies every time it reaches the bang average Kramaric.
Lucas Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Lot of people bash City but their scouts have found a bargain in Alverez. What was he? £14m? They have looked so much better with him in the side than Lautaro, whose really disappointed me.
Dr. Gonzo Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 1 minute ago, Stan said: They have, but I can't see what is questionable about anything tonight so far. I think a lot of refs wouldn't have given that. Don't get me wrong, it's technically a penalty because it's a foul in the box. But I don't think that would have been given to a lot of other teams.
Devil Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Croatia need a more physical striker on the field, maybe even two it they are going to unsettle this Argentina side. Sosa and Kramaric total passengers.
Machado Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Perisic with too many brain farts for a world cup semi-final.
Cicero Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Scrappy 2nd goal but that may be enough for Argentina.

Not just this game, or Messi, but in general.

So it's technically a penalty because it's a foul, and it was given. But it's Argentina that deem to be favoured because a referee gave it, as it should have been? It's not Argentina then you should be hating on, it's the inept refs that wouldn't give it in other games . I agree they've had favourable decisions in the tournament, and some sides favoured in general, but nothing wrong today (so far).

They are looking to him to be their main creative player from wide positions and if we are truthful he's not the player he once was. I've always always really liked him but he needs to be attacking the full back pushing them back into their own box. Instead they are forcing Croatia to try and cross from deep positions.

He didn't look arsed with that cross towards the end of the half. 2 minutes ago, Devil said: Croatia need a more physical striker on the field, maybe even two it they are going to unsettle this Argentina side. Sosa and Kramaric total passengers. Kramaric should be doing better but off the ball he's pressing when no one else is. Must be frustrating for him. Sosa looks like a deer in headlights. Croatia have looked better at times when they've played with 2 up top. Modric and Kovacic the only ones having good games so far for Croatia.
Spike Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 This is ridiculous, why must I weather the storm of perfect little angel Messi cocksucking, maybe he will retire again at half-time ? Maybe Martin Tyler will remember there are 25 other Argentines in the team Even fucking Neymar learned two Japanese words for that ad campaign but Maggie Smith Messi could only mouth breathe his was through Spanish, this cunt always has favourable treatment and I am not convinced it isn’t because he is an idiot savant at football @Devil-Dick Williewhy am I doing your job
El Profesor Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 The good side of this argentinian win is that Scaloni is truly exposing what a fraud our former coach, Tite, is. We should've comfortably beaten Croatia.

Nah I'd like to see consistency and honestly I think penalties given too easily nowadays... I think there should probably be some standards given to the referees to allow for more consistent application of the laws of the game. I think @Spike's onto something with the Qatar connection tbh - it explains some of the refereeing decisions in Argentina and France matches.
Devil Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 How is that not a pen? Are they mad he was nowhere near the ball!!!

6666 Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 I think it was a penalty. I can see why people are saying it shouldn't be but it was more a case of the keeper taking the attacker out rather than the attacker running into him.

I think @Spike's onto something with the Qatar connection tbh - it explains some of the refereeing decisions in Argentina and France matches. I would also like to see consistency. I haven't said otherwise? You've said it's technically a foul and a penalty so how is it favourable for Argentina to get a call go their way when you say it should go their way?

Keeper wasn't fouled, Alaverez has every right to continue his run knowing he could be taken out. Keeper knows full well he has to make contact with the ball with any point of his body or he risks body checking the player. It's a penalty every time for me, no idea why Neville was so over the top in the BBC coverage then.

Can't believe it. I can't stand Walton but I agree with him. Keeper comes out rushing for the ball, misses it, his right leg impedes Alvarez and they think it's okay. Weird.

Idk I remember when Karl Darlow grabbed Mane... while the ball was right there and take him down in the box... and that wasn't given as a penalty. And so many people on here said it was "never a penalty" - so using that logic I fail to see how this would be a penalty.

MUFC Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 For me the keeper came out too late, he kind of hesitated.
