Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?
FIFA fined our players for wearing poppies in 2016. They banned Spanish players in 2024.
The Argentinian players’ display yesterday was disgusting and an insult to the Falkland Islanders.
Why shouldn’t FIFA ban the Argie players from the final??
🗣️ Javier Hernández:
“I have never seen a team get favored and protected like Argentina in a World Cup, ever in my lifetime.
I couldn’t believe my eyes watching that first half. I think it was Enzo Fernández who elbowed Elliott in the back of the head, and the referee stood there and did absolutely nothing—not even a yellow card.
They were playing dirty, committing foul after foul, yet no yellow cards were given. This makes Messi’s World Cup questionable because, if we’re being honest, Argentina has been getting protected since the group stage, and the same thing happened in the 2022 World Cup.
No one should be proud of winning a World Cup this way.”
Appreciate Thomas Tuchel giving Harry Maguire the summer off & resting Kobbie Mainoo for the season ahead. It will be to Manchester United's benefit, just like him not being the manager of the club.
As soon as England went 1-0 up and decided to defend the lead, Marcus Rashford should have been introduced.
He may or may not have done anything with the ball but the threat of his pace in behind alone would have stopped Argentina committing so many players forward.
