World Cup Final - Spain Vs. Argentina - Sunday 19th July

[RowlattsFox]

Macalister is going to get booked within 5 minutes in the first game of the season because he's forgot that you actually get punished for fouls. 

[fazzyfox]

Oh come on that’s got to be a card at any level, the holding and shirt pull 

[Jaspa]

This is ridiculous, the Argies are like rabid monkeys any time you even look like getting past them.

The celeb watching is grim, particularly when real fans have been priced out.

 

No one cares who is there.

Pisses me off to no end. Have 0 idea likely about how it's played and likely only know "messi".

[Livid]

They appear to have found another of those refs

Shame the best team in the tournament finished 3rd yesterday and isn’t involved today 

I think Spain are the best team. England should have been playing in this game though.

Watch a replay and look at Yamals leg, gets studs down the calve.

They know they are less likely to get booked earlier in the game so like to get as many in early as possible

Absolutely yet no foul given

Clearly a referee directive to not book anyone early ish unless you really have to and its played into the south American style. 

[Leicesterpool]

Lets face it the real world cup final was yesterday  Could be one of those tournaments where people say the 3rd v 4th place match was better than the actual final.

[Sly]

Did MacAlister just fall over? 

[JonnyZeroFox]

And a soft free kick for Argentina 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

This is crap, and how anyone can claim it isn't rigged

[RowlattsFox]

Assume Vardy did play against Romero at some point but you can imagine the first thing you'd do is push him over. Certainly not let him push around.

Who is on the BBC? 

 

Might swap at half time.

How u can you feel proud to be cheat types is beyond me

[Leicesterpool]

Not sure if the mics aren't great but the atmosphere for a world cup final is pretty dull. Stadiums without roofs ruins the atmosphere.

I assume Vardy would have absolutely smashed into him and just abused him all game. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

It impacts a teams fluency when they keep getting away with fouls, no yellows, and get fouls for less

Must be suppressing sound for broadcast 

[Muzzy_no7]

It’s constant. How many fouls have they got away with already?

 

Theres already multiple Argie players on more than 1 foul.
