Absolutely not. The reset should be after the second round, reset it after the group stage and you make players too likely to miss the final for two innocuous incidents
Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
this is going to set a record for bench players bookedThis Spanish Mike Dean always wants to be center of attention.
Poor header Gakpo under no pressure
Question.. What happens if you get a 2nd yellow while on the bench ? Does the team on the pitch have to go down to 10 ?
Or maybe they have never been nor ever will be fit to lace Messi’s boots?
Ref not taking any shit Loves the spotlight doesn’t he?
Loves the spotlight doesn’t he?No, just that the bench player isn't eligible to come on anymore
With the type of football he plays I think Messi would probably still be good in the next world cup
No
No they don't
Imagine if its Argie - Eng final. The British media will go bonkers, probably send a team to the Falklands too
No but you're suspended for the next match.
Messi's the GOAT but honestly the best teams are in the other side of the draw.
I bet he doesn't even know what is happening on the field, now the benches it's a different story.
No, just get sent off so you can't come on and get a one match ban.
Blind and Acuña seem to be having a second competition on who can play worse as a wingback
Where are all the Dutch fans then? Didn't they travel?
i mean, passing is a skill set no? It’s a factor some take into consideration when comparing the two. I’ve always preferred Messi but I do understand both sides of the argument.
Few players in history ever have.
They're all here in this thread
Yeah, that's what I am saying. You're incapable of understanding the fact that different people can see things in a different way.
But if you come on and get a 2nd yellow you're off. Wonder if thats ever happened
Didn’t he more or less confirm already that this is his last one?
Shit match, shit tactics, shit ref. Come on Louis, show us your golden cock.
The Sun will already have booked flights there, have days of headlines.
What a shit match tbh.
Shit Blind
Vvd drop off has been quite something to watch too.
No team has turned around a knockout game after going behind
Croatia took it to penalties which was the best scenario so far

Argentina are like the international version of Atletico Madrid. I just hate their antics.
pretty rubbish, bar that one outstanding pass
Yes that's why I wrote that. Even with 39 I think he could pull a genius move from nothing
Ned has offered nothing.
The golden cock has to save us here
Honestly, why? Everyone knows if any decent team targets him, they'll get something out of it. This is hopeless
LvG needs to french kiss everyone in halftime to turn this around.
It's the neck. Or lack of.
In terms of goals maybe. Personally, I haven't thought Ronaldo was better than Messi since 2008. Messi's close control has always been far superior and might actually be the best of any player ever, and he's always been better at bringing other players into the game than Ronaldo. With this Messi vs Ronaldo debate, I think people just decided whichever one scores more goals that season is the best, which I've always found a pretty dumb measure tbh. Maradona certainly wouldn't ever have been considered the best of all time if it was all down to goalscoring. Ronaldo has been an incredible player who obviously had much more than just goals, but if you were asking which I'd want in my team I would always choose Messi, since he can offer much more from a team perspective while also offering that same individual brilliance that Ronaldo had (I also love dribblers personally).
How each person rates them will probably come down to what they're looking for in their GOAT, but I don't think you can just suggest that CR7 was better than Messi like it's an indisputable fact.
May I remind you that thanks to Di María, Messi have a Copa America an another Ballon D’or.
The Netherlands have been extraordinarily crap so far. Bang average. Argentina don’t even need to be good to control this game… only Lahoz and Acuna can feck this up for them hehe
Just seems destined that it’ll be a Messi vs Ronaldo final. Not going to complain.
