Semi Finals: Argentina vs Croatia | Eng... France vs Morocco

He keeps holding his hamstring and isn't moving much (even less than usual).

Well he can be the coach on the sidelines for the final to whore some attention.
 
after he approached the ball in play. He has made a intent to play (stop) the ball but did not touch the ball. He only obstructed the player.

You must be smoking some good stuff and I want it!

He didn't aproach anything?

He came out, put his foot down and stood ground.

Alvarez takes the shot. Continues to clatter into the keeper.

Obstructed what?
 
Kinda surprised Croatia's defense got caught like that 2 times.
 
These Argentinean midfielders make Fred looks like Modric. Mediocre lots.
 
Seemed a soft pen to me.
 
:lol: loving the reasoning for why it shouldnt be a penalty. It makes for hilarious reading
 
Disagree.

How do you move forward when your standing your ground with both feet on the ground?
He literally wasn't. Watch it again. If you still don't see that then I'm afraid you are blind or so biased you can't accept what's right in front of you.
 
Great response.

Neville Wright and Keane all believe that it was not a penalty. So whether you agree with it or not, it is extremely debatable.
They were also given the reason it was given as a penalty and their response was basically

"No, it's not a foul"
 
It was a clearer penalty than all the ones France gave up against England. And they were hard to argue against.
 
Croatia need to take shots and put more into the box. Might get a deflection
 
Argentina look like they can concede any second, problem is Croatia are equally bad in attack.
 
Gvardiol did a good job on Messi initially then let him go...mistake around the box b'c you know they are going to look at getting him the ball back. recovered enough to put messi off balance though when he shot
 
What the feck was Mac Allister thinking. You cant expect Messi to make a 20 meter run to receive a ball you moron.
 
For some reason I find Messi's face very punchable at the moment. The hair and beard are so annoying, maybe it reminds me of someone I hate or something.
 
To think that Croatian side came up with this kind of performance after depriving us of a Brazil/Japan match-up in the quarterfinals and then a better duel between the winner of that match and Argentina, it sucks really hard.
