Not sure I'm on board with players crying after going out. In 99% of games in their career they couldn't give a shit.

Practically playing in a home stadium

I blame Gazza. He started it.

are you Santa in disguise 

[Fox92]

Shocking Dutch penalties, what is Van Dijk doing going first.

 

Also relying on your keeper to save at least one though.

[surrifox]

Argentina is a long way from Qatar . Who knew ?

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

That ref truly got in Pearcey's head

Pure exhaustion causes emotions to overflow is all it is. 

[Super_horns]

After all that Dutch comeback Argentina held their nerve better with decent penalties generally.

Probably because it’s a World Cup and they come round once every four year. Losing on pens in the quarter finals of a World Cup isn’t the same as losing in the quarter finals of the League Cup.

Has he taken penalties before? Genuinely baffling.

The RM are great strikers though

[fazzyfox]

Silly me, ref was correct:-
 

Rule 27b subsection c - “Intentional handball should be punished with a yellow card unless the culprit is a really really famous legend of the game in his last World Cup”

[Koke]

Honestly,  what's this team without Messi?

Sigh

Every other time, they know there is another game in a week.

World Cup comes around every four years - they may only have one or two opportunities in their career.

 

You sure seem to be in a rotten mood this week - everything okay?

[Nalis]

Factoring everything in its the match of the tournament so far for me.

 

The needle added to the entertainment too. Despite meh football until about the 70th minute the other 50 and penalty shootouts were off the scale. 

[Nalis]

Maybe the ref should have stuck to rugby? Lots of cards for dissent. 

 

Hang on a second.....
