[Football] Nigeria v Argentina.

[seagulls4ever]

Mascherano has got away with so many dirty tactics over the years - that's poetic justice.

There will be more goals from corners in the future if this VAR thing happens at most games - me thinks

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Let's just say I wouldn't be too happy if that was awarded against us. Oh well

We've had worse. Dunk was just pulling a shirt at Burnley.

Argies moaning about cheating.

Nigeria are learning fast, showing Portugeseque expertise at running a 40 minute clock down.

Interesting the technical director from England contacted FIFA post Tunisia about off the ball player wrestling at corners

 

[oldboyroy]

if your holding someone in the box it's a penalty

I expect the Serbian one did to after that double team rugby tackle they also accused VAR of bias so they kind of had to make sure they cracked down on it.

That still irks. All defenders were guilty of it. Lewis had to be picked on by the ref to "even things up".

It was said that 3 other football associations did too, about the same thing.

But probably not those of Panama and Tunisia.

Dirty ****ing *****. Watch them lose their heads if still drawing/losing towards the end.

But usually not given. Some Premiership games a ref could give 3-4 pens per corner.

The difference in the last couple of days of this competition the referees have been clearly warning the defenders not to do it. Yet some have decided to ignore these warnings.

Only for the first few games. Once players realize holding means a penalty they have no option but to stop it. Bruno will need to plan a new strategy!

He gave away one at home last season for it IIRC

I want to go back to the old days when you could barge the goalie in the net with the ball and it would still be a goal.

And everybody would be playing like 70's Leeds?

I used to love the strikers jostling with goalies taking drop kicks. Led to the odd fight.

The desperate diving will start soon

Aguero and Dybala still sat on the bench
