🇦🇷 Argentine newspaper Clarin: 'As never before, the Argentine team displayed, both on and off the field, a range of values that are rare these days. From the pitch and beyond, they gave several lessons and showed the face of a country that we would like to see away from the football pitch.
'A team that was polite and respectful, despite a few unfortunate isolated incidents in the last match; that didn't speak ill of its rivals or try to justify its own mistakes by blaming others.'
@lulolulo It’s winning without any class that has done it. I spoke to a few Argentina fans while in Atlanta and it was the minority that were decent. Majority acted like 🐀, very similar to the team!!! I’d imagine Argentina is despised by most after this World Cup (apart from the jocks )
I leave you here all the benefits Argentina got from the referees in the match against England. FIFA is no longer a credible entity and the sport is dead to favour one man and one team sponsored by Adidas! https://t.co/WCtqng52Lk
🚨 JUST IN 🚨
England have asked for an investigation into referee Ismail Elfath following their controversial 2-1 loss to Argentina. The referee refused to give early yellow cards for multiple late challenges on the England players, including what should have been a straight red card for Enzo Fernández after he elbowed Elliot Anderson in the back of the head. And as soon as any contact was made on Messi, a yellow card was produced.
The referee has officiated Messi multiple times before, in which Messi has a 100% record, and could be seen in conversation throughout the match. Argentina looked to wind up the England players, seemingly knowing that there would be no punishment and were allowed to get away with it. The refereeing completely suited the style of the Argentinians, and exactly why it has been speculated that FIFA have allowed this to ensure that Lionel Messi made it to the final due to his stature within the US after his move to Inter Miami."
Ninguna de las faltas que ves en este vídeo fue sancionada con tarjeta amarilla.
Tuvieron que ser expulsados Enzo Fernández, por roja directa, y Leandro Paredes, por doble amarilla.
Argentina juega con doce.
@MsMelChen I hope you are wrong as well but it’s the reason I decided against taking my 10yr old daughter even though she’d been at the first 4 matches
