If only Alvarez would have got that chance instead of Messi.

Absolutely guarantee if that was Rashford taken out like that in a rag game rat boy and the dog botherer would be saying 100% pen

Don’t forget Wrighty mate, he’s turned into a right numpty as well.

Already is pal. Can see him having another big moment in this game and the Final.

Off to Madrid/Barca Headlines incoming .

Thing about Argentina this time around is they actually have a good midfield. Been shocking in the last x amount of tournaments and its cost them. Yeah thry made the final in 2014 but had 0 shots on target and like 30% possession.

Did you watch the game? They had two or three golden chances to score in normal time. Should have done in the Germans that day.

Better than 100mil+ Gvardiol

Not as good as Nunez or Antony, though.

In future Strikers will just knock it past and let the keeper foul them. Crazy.

penalty I thought was preventing someone from doing something, he'd already taken his shot tbh. It wasnt dangerous play.

What, so if you get taken out after the ball has gone (or when the ball is nowhere near), then it can’t be a foul?
By coming out and making that stance in front of Alvarez, at the speed Alvarez was coming towards him, he way always gonna be stopping Alvarez in his tracks regardless of where the ball was - and he got nowhere near the ball.
The speed of the move did for the keeper, intentional or not.
Clear penalty for me.

Don't think it's Messi's hamstring, think it could be his groin.

It's something affecting his movement but not the way a hamstring would.

Just the strapping holding down his boner at the thought of lifting the trophy

Can someone please show Pep Guardiola "Mike Bassett - England Manager" because when the PL starts again we need to go 4 - 4 - fookin - 2...
