2022 World Cup.

Bit of a soft penalty .

Soft but Di Maria clever and Dembele should have kept well away. Easy decision for ref.

Bit of a soft penalty .

Nay.... French cloggers at it again, after conceding so many to England. May be a few more yet!!

 

[Beezerk]

Messi jumps into a player, potentially dangerously and he gets the free kick

 

[Billysboots]

Was there any contact? I did't see any until well after Di Maria dived.

I must say that, to me, it looked like Di Maria was already falling before any contact.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Would take McCoist over Jenas and most others

Not sure why Dublin gets a hard deal - he gets loads of stick but surely he can say what he wants after putting a nut on Savage

edit - minimal contact , didn’t need to do it , bought a penalty

McCoist is one of the best, I'm happy with him.

I think Shearer is usually okay but he has been on pundit duty. I don't think the beeb has an outstanding co commentator at the moment, they need to identify someone who isn't utterly vanilla.

Dublin is just poor. Tries to be funny, it doesn't work.

That's what I saw, I need to see some more replays at half time.

 

[paddyc]

Seriously? ITV line up has been far superior this world cup. I just wish it was Laura Woods in studio instead of Poogatch. McCoist is the best co-comms, Keane and Neville in the studio as well, excellent.

No i like the Keane Neville and
Wright in the studio as opposed to the BBC. Just don't like Matterface and Guy Mowbray I think is good.

 

[Billysboots]

They deserve the lead .

They do, I agree. But I’d still not want to see a game of this magnitude decided by a highly debatable penalty.

 

[AmandaJR]

I wasn't sure who I wanted to win least until kick off - the answer is emphatically France! They'd be insufferable and Argentina can disappear back to South America and won't be in our faces...

 

[Lord Tyrion]

We need a merger of Guy Mowbray commentating, McCoist on Co, Lineker hosting, Keane, Neville and Klinsmann in the studio.

Oh, and can someone bring back Martin O'Neil in the studio. He was wonderful at past tournaments.

I’m already fed up of hearing about Messi tho ?.

 

[Orikoru]

I don't think it was that debatable. Seemed like an arm in the back followed by a heel clip. There wasn't much of a wait for the review either so obviously didn't feel the ref made an error.

 

[Swango1980]

When are they bringing Mbappe on..... ?

 

[Orikoru]

Great goal!

 

[Deleted member 21784]

That was beautiful football

 

[Deleted member 29109]

That is class

 

[clubchamp98]

Argentina are showing that France are not that good.
But they beat us.
That’s down to tactics.

 

[AmandaJR]

I’m already fed up of hearing about Messi tho ?.

Agreed and it's a strange one for me as I'm not sure I like him very much...

 

[Billysboots]

When are they bringing Mbappe on..... ?

They’re saving him for the replay.

Surely there’s a spot for Laura Woods?
