Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)

Ref been horrible with no control and gives everything to Messi who he should have given a yellow card earlier

Nice to see some fight passion and aggression but absolutely on the ref this
 
peredes is lucky he didn’t hit somebody in the face there… he could have killed somebody :wenger:
 
This referee, I've never seen anything like this. Just totally lost control of the match.
 
Wtf. How was that not two yellows for Paredes? The tackle and then kicking the ball away, I mean kicking the ball at the bench is a red card offense in itself.
 
10 mins extra time....
 
Keep any and all Spanish representatives away from this World Cup.
 
Very stupid free kick to give away. Doesn't feel like Argentina will survive these ten minutes.
 
Awful ref, giving everything to Argentina. Game has been gifted to them by poor refereeing.
 
How the heck has he got away with clattering someone, AND purposely aggravating the whole Dutch bench by smashing it their direction.
Madness.

That McAllister twat could do with that grin wiped off his mush too.
 
Otamendi taking Lisandro out :rolleyes:
 
Takeaways from this match:

Ref is a joke
Messi, great player but an absolute con artist / can't stand the Argentinian antics
Holland, under the Van Gaal handbrake and not great
Martin Keown should not be allowed near a microphone / have an audience of any sort ever again
 
I managed to decode the encrypted message the ref is sending with this whistle:
India,alpha,Mike,alpha,foxtrot, alpha, tango,Charlie,uniform,November,tango
 
This is kinda like the Ewoks fighting imperial walkers. You’re supposed to cheer in the little fellas, but I fecking hate the pint sized cnuts.
