WC Final - Argentina vs France

[Wolf_Ref]

France been very poor so far…

 

[Faris]

Why should it?


IMO The VAR will be asking him for review if he didn't give it. I don't see how this can be soft. A clear trip.

I didn't see a trip, I thought it was for a hand on the back.

Nah - there was contact leg to leg.

Why should it?

Shouldn’t have been, I agree with you. Just was listening to commentary going on about ‘VAR will make a very rigouros check here’

 

[es1]

Brilliant goal

 

[Faris]

Nah - there was contact leg to leg.

Fair enough then. Second goal was quality attacking play.

 

[george.g]

Brilliant goal

Very well worked, lovely take

 

[Wolf_Ref]

Yeah - class passing and finishing. No questions asked there!

 

[GraemeS]

Nah - there was contact leg to leg.

Bit of both, easily enough for a penalty overall.

Nothing controversial in the second one, lovely goal!

 

[GraemeS]

Getting towards the point where players are testing the referees reluctance to go to his pocket, might get away with getting to half time without a yellow though.

That smile then zip it action had me laughing out loud

Yep - the last one on arg player was close I think

 

[GraemeS]

Where has +7 come from?

 

[JamesL]

Where has +7 come from?

Goal celebrations and lloris injury

 

[Wolf_Ref]

Where has +7 come from?

Maybe goal celebrations were longer than we thought?

 

[GraemeS]

Goal celebrations and lloris injury

Ah yeah, the Lloris injury is the one I wasn't accounting for, was struggling to get to 3 thinking back without that.

 

[george.g]

Easy yellow there

 

[one]

Half time and Argentina deserve their two goal lead. The officials have got everything right for me expect a FK to Messi which should have been the dropped ball to keeper meaning no impact to game. Second half will be tastier me thinks.

This is the problem with listening to pundits who think they know what they are talking about

 

[Mooseybaby]

For me wasn't much difference between the foul by Fernandes & yellow card and the earlier foul by Kounde.

Can't see why there's even a debate about the Argentina penalty decision. Looked a clear trip by a player who knew he was well beaten!

Only thing standarding between Argentina and the World Cup at this moment is themselves....
