I wondered if that strayed into red territory, the guy was past him, then he swerved and monstered him.
Semi Finals: Argentina vs Croatia | Eng... France vs Morocco
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Yeah it was a penalty all day long.
Keeper was unlucky but it's a defo penalty.
Well it is bs pen. I hope you will trash them in finalsExtremely generous penI guess there is a hidden agenda
How was it not a pen, clear goal scoring opportunity and the keeper took him out.
He has to get the ball and not take out the man or at least get the ball before taking out the man.
That's not the rule, though
50-50 tbh
I wouldn't give it but I can see why it wasGet the ball first of course?
Imagine if that happened to United. Would you not be screaming for a pen?
He comes out and just stops him? That wasn’t a case of him running into him, his progress was totally impeded.
Keeper punished for having a second leg
He messed his shot up so just ran into the keeper instead and fell over.
there are people on the forum who think the rules change when Argentina play and anything they get is a gift.I don't understand why some of you don't think that's a penalty
You literally won’t see a clearer penalty. Some people need to find a different sport
We know the links between Italy and Argentina. That referee should have never been appointed.
Stop trolling you
Two pointless semi finals. Both a forgone conclusion. The final is set.
Keeper positioning all wrong.
He doesn’t “stand his ground” ffs
he runs off his line straight into Alvarez’ path and take him out.Excellent. Croatia will now need one shot on target.
Don't Croatia have a better left back than this guy.
He looks awful.
He looks awful.
Nah he didn't run into him, the Argentinian ran into the gkGet the ball first of course?
Ball was past the keeper when he fouled Alvarez. Keeper didn’t affect the shot.
I'm not sure really sure on the penalty either way but I don't think he stops a certain goal, really doubt he's getting to his failed shot before the defender.
Didn't expect such an immaculate penalty from Messi though. Wow. Must have been practicing a lot.
Can't believe there are people saying it wasn't a pen. They either have no idea what the rules are or are blinded by bias
Never liked pens given like that. It basically means that the keeper can't make a challenge. The attacker can run into him and get given a penalty. I feel the same way when people get freekicks for running into a defender. There is nothing you can do about it.
Excellent pen, though.
Excellent pen, though.
He was charging off his line to win the ball, he missed the ball and got the man.
It was totally a pen. Dunno how anyone can argue otherwise.
Lets just all agree Lovren is shit and the main fault this happened

I love how all the Argentinians here think that everyone has just been fooled by the media. No. The player just ran into the goalie and it's pefectly acceptable for people to believe, correctly, that that is not a penalty.
Of course it was a penalty. Even if Lovren would have gotten there first, the keeper took him out.
This. Truly bizarre
Yeah, he chipped it above the GK and was about to round him. GK panicked and and stood in his way.
Can live with that
That defending 2-0
2-0 Nice one-twosWhat a brilliant goal. Shocking defending though wow
What a goal
