Crowd is quiet as fuck

Probably lots of frenchies that bought tickets for both semis 6 months ago.

Gardner seems to be co-reffing with the TMO. It sounds very odd that he's asking about so much.

He’s doing it very well to be fair. He’s saying what he’s seen on pitch in real time rather than asking as such.

I don't see a problem with that. If there's another opinion available, why not use it? Rather that than bad calls. Which there hasn't been so far.

Well; that's one of the finalists sorted. Argentina won't pull that back.

True, I meant 'odd' as in I've not heard it before like this.

It’s as one sided as expected.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Refs do that in football, we just can’t hear them.

PIGMOL want to allow the mics to be heard but FIFA won’t budge on it.

I’m not sure they do explain their decisions they just wave players away

Yep. Not sure there were many outside of Buenos Aires or Rosario that were expecting anything else.
