Spain-Argentina

[es1]

That is only going to feed the conspiracy theories.

I don't think there's anything untoward

Just incompetence

Was saying the same things. The “Infantino fixing it for Argentina” gang have had enough already without that terrible call

 

[Johnson]

That might be the most obvious DRP I’ve ever seen tbh.

How does Messi get away with no yellow for delaying the restart. Ref laughing about not giving it

 

[ladbroke8745]

Seen them given (against Simeone).

Argentina are just such a disliked team.

Totally agree, but those who believe the conspiracy theories will only cite this as further evidence.

Its in your own post, the answer..

 

[bester]

If @Tealeaf isn't finding a convoluted way to support a decision you know it's an absolute howler

 

[ladbroke8745]

Not sure why the ref feels he needs to blow his whistle so much.

But why did he not just play on when awarding a free kick on stroke of half time.

 

[ladbroke8745]

Argentina doing their best to delay the 2nd half.

 

[Tealeaf]

If this gets ruled out, we ALL lose.

See it out now Spain

If Spain don't win we all lose

 

[Joshref]

A win for Spain is a win for football.

Cannot remember any game, let alone one of this magnitude, with 0 shots from a team

 

[bester]

Looked on if they paused at right moment, very tight

 

[DJIC]

Wrong restart, drop ball to GK

 

[ladbroke8745]

Surely the correct restart is dropped ball to keeper as ball still in area and last touch was also by a Spain player.
Yes. I know Argentina were likely to gain possession but still...

 

[ladbroke8745]

Could you argue that the free kick was taken and he handled it?

 

[Joshref]

Merino legit looks concussed after that

Spain sitting back and allowing the short corner - very dangerous strategy for the next 5 mins

 

[deusex]

God how many time are ypu gonna stop the corner man
