A soft penalty to be honest. But doesn’t change the fact that France have been very poor so far. You cannot win every game with counterattacks.
The Final: Argentina vs France
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Rat faced diver. No chance they won't make sure their goat wins this one. Journos are absolutely moist.
Yes but Dembele also touched him
I wouldn't have given it but once you get skinned you try and get back on the left side or just have the next defender step up
Both go to the ball, freekick for Messi!
Wait, this is foul ON Messi?
Christ, this ref is awful
How the feck did he think that's a foul for Argentina? Hernandez wins the ball 
Theo Hernandez is a mess, no reason to go this strong against Messi.
I think people (neutrals) prefer a legit win
All about the GOAT narrative.And some people still supporting Argentina?
I thought he tripped himself. Would need to see it again.
Messi is reaching Neymar levels of show diving.
Not a pen, di Maria falling over already without having been touched.
The ref couldn’t wait to give it.
As an aside, France just aren't at the races today - they're usually sharper than this. Disappointing for the contest.

Don’t blame him for an error by the referee.
To be honest I'm a bit shocked by the reaction.
How is that Theo's fault lol? Messi ram into him.
Bruno was right. This shit is rigged

You see the Croatia one not given yesterday even after VAR check and it does make you wonder. There was hardly any contact between legs for that penalty, certainly not enough for Di Maria to suddenly collapse once he entered the box.
It wasn't even a tackle. The fecker committed the crime of running in close proximity to Di Maria.
Exactly. He got mugged and completely messed up afterwards.
Organising a farewell tour world cup for one player is insane, but Fifa managed to pull it off
Hernandez wins a header against Messi. Freekick Messi.
So bent
So bent
Again this FK, Messi gotta be protected at all costs
Reckon Ronaldo has turned off his tele already?
How is that a free kick to Argentina? Because it's Messi who went down
How is that a free kick to Argentina? Messi clattered into Hernandez there.
Decisions ruining what has been a good world Cup. Never an arg freekick
60 more minutes of shitehouse let from Argentina.
12v11
Only because the rat tripped over his own legs first.
football is a contact sport and brushing legs isn’t an excuse to fall over like that. it was a clear dive knowing the ref would give it.
these type of penalties should never be given unless it’s a clear trip/kick
Does anyone have a stat of how many penalties were awarded to Argentina in this World Cup? It must be around 5?
That's a bad call. Hernandez gets the ball and then messi slams into him.
Giroud is such a male model with his hair and beard perfectly coiffured.
Mac Allister’s ancestor played the long game. He knew his descendent would have a better chance at the World Cup playing for Argentina rather than Scotland.
Those get given as a penalty everytime. Don't know what people are complaining about. Dembele touched him and he was always going down
Argentina allowed to punch, France not allowed to look at them
He got hit in the head. How is that diving
Argentina scoring first has probably ruined this game as a spectacle. Feels like we're about to be dished up with 60 mins of non football.
