Fernandez hits the post

This Enzo Fernandez kid looks like he's going to be a monster. Are we in for him? Will probably end up at Madrid, sadly.  :'(

[Morgana]

Ah fuck

Great save to be fair

Oh no

Oh, jeez. Sorry Virgil. Didn't know he missed a pen. He went for the same corner where he jipped Kepa in the cup final. Martinez would have known he shoots that side. Should've switched, but oh well. Let's hope Dutch fans aren't as rabid and unforgiving as the English.

 Come home, Virgil, and hug it out with Kloppo.

[deano2727]

Kind of half hoping for a England Argentina final for the drama, but at the same time, f*ck that. Don't want England getting a shot at glory (it's the Irish/Scotch in me  ). Get Hendo and Trent back with the team.

[rafathegaffa83]

You add Messi's comments about the ref which of course go unsactioned.

He's right in that the ref shouldn't officiate again at the WC, but he must blind to not think so much of it favoured Argentina. It's like he wanted a signed Messi shirt, a selfie and a Christmas card

[Keith Lard]

Antonio Mateu Lahoz was the ref in the 2018 CL return leg against City at the Etihad which we won 2-1, and the 2019 QF first leg against Porto which we won 2-0, so I have a bit of a soft spot for him lol. Massive drama queen

[Gerry Attrick]

If anybody else plays that ball for Argentina’s first goal it’s the best assist of their entire career. Messi probably has a dozen better ones. The best ever. By a mile.

Please do everything you can to get me to Liverpool. He is the closest thing to Steven Gerrard that has ever existed.

Shame on you pricks whoever and wherever you are.

Why are you even posting on this thread which is about the World Cup games if you despise it so much. Strange.

[FlashGordon]

Person in couldn't care less but obviously caring enough to post shocker.

[stockdam]

Big game tonight and I don’t think there’s a lot between England ad France. Mbappe is obviously the best player and if he plays well then France win. However England have the midfield and forwards to win.

Whoever wins will fancy their chances of going all the way.

Why are you on here posting then? What gives you the right to call a people on here who are just watching football pricks? Your custom title certainly checks out. Fuck off back to the rock you crawled out of.

I'd rather England won it than Argentina any day of the week. If that was the final I'll be draped in St. George's Cross and happily knock a tooth out to look more apt and be ready to punch someone in the face. All after about 8 pints of ale of course. The Argentinians are insufferable.

You must live a wonderfully clean and admirable life, your day to day standards of living must be exceptional for you to judge anyone who dares watch a few footy matches. You've probably never even driven over 30 miles an hour have you? What a remarkably human-being, give yourself a pat on the back.

There was needle going on all game between the two sides. I absolutely loved it and I also loved the shithousing from the Argies after they won it. I'd have done the same thing. We constantly go on about football being watered down and too sanitised but when stuff like this happens people are clutching their pearls.

It should be fairly obvious in 2022 that individual protest is worthless. Especially if it amounts to looking away when the tele happens to be on. Grow up.

How many posters have you got of him

Not as many as I have of Nadal.

And yet you always get the "If that was Messi you'd never hear the end of it" when a player makes a good pass/scores a good goal.

[Crosby Nick]

Not as many as I have of Nadal.

And he’s losing the battle for wall space with Ben Duckett/Babar Azam.

Yeah, also fancy the young kids playing football around England to be able to look up to Bellingham, Henderson and Trent, Foden etc as winners, as World Champions.

Hope Hendo has a great night tonight, which can also inspire the rest of the season for him, as well as signing off from young Jude with a "See you soon at Kirby, young man"

[elsewhere]

i am probably in the minority but i kinda liked World Cup during winter time.

[alonsoisared]

I don't fit in the try-hard anyone but England crowd but I do find it quite difficult to get into their games until the knockouts come. Looking forward to tonight though, and anyone who doesn't want to see our captain drive England to a world cup is mad. After last night I think I could get fully into an England Argentina final. Mouth watering that would be!

A good chance of that being the final now. You just wonder if that Portugal-Argentina narrative can be avoided though.

Suppose people like you won't watch other sports as well because the Likes of F1, Boxing etc are now being staged in these countries too and maybe corrupt too. At the same time us Brits are squeaky clean.. and we do have own problems and issues to some degree.

[KevLFC]

Oh, jeez. Sorry Virgil. Didn't know he missed a pen. He went for the same corner where he jipped Kepa in the cup final. Martinez would have known he shoots that side. Should've switched, but oh well. Let's hope Dutch fans aren't as rabid and unforgiving as the English.

 Come home, Virgil, and hug it out with Kloppo.

It wasn't a bad penalty but from the moment he ran up and took it you knew it was going to the keepers right.

The guy has been an absolute monster for Benfica this season indeed. They are on something like 30 games unbeaten and him and Rafa have been the MVP imo.

The sponsors, media, teams and tv coverage won’t boycott it. What difference will Joe Bloggs switching off his tv make?

Most people in here will watch , but not agree with it, purely for a love of football. If you don’t like it, don’t post about it

I also couldn't care less and I'm also not watching it.

But that's my personal decision. I wouldn't have a go at anyone else watching it; missus and some of my friends are.

They can do what they want to do. Not going to get into an argument with them or call them twats.

Go and have a horlicks and a packet of Rollos mate

Morocco defence without Mazraoui and Aguerd which is a big blow for them. Ronaldo and Cancelo on the bench for Portugal. Ruben Neves in for William Carvalho in their only change from Switzerland game.

[elsewhere]

Why does Argentina-Netherlands matches always have tension? Do they have a sort of rivalry or something? Because I only recall their match where Bergkamp scored and they were eliminated. Am I missing something here?

2014 semi final Argentina won on pens. Van Gaal seemed to stoke the fire before the game in winding up the Argies with comments he'd made.
