Lifeline for Argentina. Embolo shoots himself in the foot

FIFA doesn't need to rig anything if they want to self-sabotage  :-/ 

[Jaspa]

Entirely self inflicted. Idiot.

[JonnyZeroFox]

Sorry it’s bs I’m not having that 

[MC Prussian]

Embolo is an idiot. VAR decision is correct.

[JonnyZeroFox]

Call it stupid dive, whatever… to go off for something so minor is shit.. and these decisions do favour a certain team.. the Argies needed help and got it again

As much as it fuels the conspiracies about Argentina getting all the calls, that's 100% the right decision.

[Jattdogg]

IMo, rescind yellow. Messi doesn't get a red earlier in tournament but this guy gets a yellow for that

 

Sure, it was stupid by him 100%.

[J.Lisemore]

Fixed for the Argies. We all know it. 

[Jaspa]

Just drag it out to extra-time please, tire these out.

[MC Prussian]

"Rigged"?

 

Embolo was never in the game, he was frustrated. First yellow was already idiotic, this one tops it.

 

One of those "highly-intelligent" young footballers. Fvcking moron.

[martyn]

Argentina have been the benificaries of dubious decisions, that isn't one of them.

 

Ridiculous by Embolo.

[JonnyZeroFox]

We will beat Argentina anyway.. 

[Jaspa]

Do like this stadium

[when_you're_smiling]

As right that was the case, Argentina’s luck has got to run out at some point.

[MC Prussian]

They say it's harder to play against ten men...

 

... unless you're playing against Switzerland.

[Dan]

Argentina's luck is beyond belief

It is though, it’s stupidity sure… but come on Messi no red for almost breaking someone’s leg.. and Swiss red for a silly dive

Technically second yellow but I dont disagree with the calls going in argentinas favour all tournament 

[MC Prussian]

Embolo should've been subbed earlier in the game. Virtually non-existent up front.

That's on Yakin.

[when_you're_smiling]

I think that’s also the first red card in the entire tournament for two yellows. 

[J.Lisemore]

We beat either of these, although I’d love Argentina to go out due to the sheer luck and dodgy refs getting them this far.

Zero fear against this Argentina team… and to be honest rather play them, just to put them out ourselves. Mexico and Norway were far more dangerous

Result. Let these knacker themselves out some more.

[inckley fox]

I'd absolutely blame Embolo too, but I'm also trying to remember how many other yellows have been given for simulation this tournament. I'm sure I've missed a few, but it's seemed a largely overlooked offence. While I get the 'mistaken identity' element, I still think people might ask whether it's a tad convenient that an erstwhile dormant rule has suddenly proven so decisive.
