Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

[Dahnsouff]

That can’t be a pen, surely?

[StanSP]

I reckon there's enough in the shirt pull to give a penalty. 

[StanSP]

Keown chats bollocks though

 

'I don't think this referee has enough in him to go against VAR' 

 

[Balj]

Lewie was doing his share of pushing there

[Dahnsouff]

Both at it, not for me

[Lionator]

Never in a million years is that a penalty 

[Vacamion]

 

Weird that the version the ref saw wasn't the obvious shirt pull footage from the side, but the 50/50 grapple front on...  

[Brainy]

Think the Mexico player does it first before Lewandowski gives some back. Similar amount of shirt pulling to the Iran penalty yesterday. The defender should have just manhandled him like the Iran player did to Maguire which is allowed

[Arkie Bennett]

60/40 a penalty, with the shirt grab deemed to make the difference.

[Super_horns]

Penalty- is that harsh ?

 

Both pulling each other or the defender doing it more .

 

Great save anyway .

Harsh imo

[Bert]

Harsh that 

[StanSP]

Saved!! Good save from Ochoa. 

 

I love the carnage after the rebound too. Everyone just goes for the ball

 

The sound

 

[Balj]

Fair outcome - super save

[StanSP]

Keown said 'you couldn't write this' as if a penalty has never been saved at a World Cup before. 

[Bert]

Shit penalty 

[Vacamion]

 

Bravo the Mexico fans.

 

Looking forward to the noise if they score.

Are teams this crap because of their players/coaches or is it down to very little training time? 

It could be the heat or humidity. It’s very humid even with the air con.

[Dahnsouff]

Despite the saying, there is plenty of ‘I’ in these teams. 

 

But guess that comes from being strangers who rarely play and train together

[KFS]

That group just got very interesting. Argies have to win both games to go through. Mad

[Phenom]

Missed opportunity but my expectations were low going into the tournament so it is what it is. We’re not gonna score many…

Who is your country?

[Dan]

Poland are such a waste of time at the World Cup.

[Wymsey]

No one else thinks the Saudi Arabia result was a form of corruption somehow?..
