WC Final - Argentina vs France

[george.g]

Feels like there's been quite a few missed yellows, or at least expected yellows

Don’t think he’s had a bad game, commentary singing his praises, but agree there’s two yellows that should’ve been picked up

BBC commentary banging about how Marciniak is an ex pro in Poland.
According to Wikipedia he started reffing at 21 after halting his amateur playing days.

I would agree if this was not a WC final. The threshold for 'expeced', at least for me, is higher so I am ok with the ones given and the ones not given.

 

[ARF]

100 mins ref even reaches for the card but no card again for the blatant pull back in the corner.

I think you're seeing things that haven't happened - the spray holster is just above his front left pocket!

 

[Big Cat]

Referee has been good but it was a clear dogso pull red card alas

 

[Peter Grove]

Used his knee

Yes, but the other question (as several people have mentioned) is whether it was "a deliberate trick [...] to circumvent the Law."

Probably not for me, but it was close.

Nice moment for GLT

This is a Messi vs Mbappe game. Or should I say tournament.

 

[Redster]

Love Arg or not, their man is just always on the spot...

 

[JamesL]

That goal should have been disallowed. Argentina substitutes on the pitch when it was scored!

 

[Degnann]

Yes, but the other question (as several people have mentioned) is whether it was "a deliberate trick [...] to circumvent the Law."

Not a chance for me. Would I expect him to play it with his knee at that time? Considering theres a scramble and hes already on his knees. Absolutely

 

[Redster]

Just saw a replay with multiple Arg subs entering the FOP before the ball went in the net. Lucky.

Brilliant shout that!
What's the restart?

 

[Redster]

Doesn't look yellow on first view....

Edit: looks like there will only be one view.

 

[Murri O]

No goal though. ARG had 13 players on the pitch before final strike.

 

[socal lurker]

Yes, but the other question (as several people have mentioned) is whether it was "a deliberate trick [...] to circumvent the Law."

Probably not for me, but it was close.

I don’t think that’s close at all. Using the knee was completely natural nothing remotelh teicky about it.

 

[Quarryref]

Another great spot

 

[Redster]

Penalty against Arg

Queue: mayhem

 

[george.g]

Good spot, I thought it was an FK at first, shocked by the PK, but 100% right for me

 

[Redster]

I like the way this bloke just gets on with the restart. No faffing about with protests.
