The Final: Argentina v France

[Toffeeslam]

France now look likely to win

Argies intensity levels lower since half time

Thought they win it already

Nearly another penalty for France there

hahaha yellow for rabiot, ref finds his cards...

 

[Tommy Chong]

Yellow card for simulation!

 

[ToffeeDan]

Argentina 3 France 2 (2-0, 2-2, 3-2)

Argentinians not the only ones who don't like us - we've got history!

Maybe...

 

[marsh]

Why didn't Otamendi get booked for the penalty foul by the way

 

[jazzy]

Bad dive by Thuram

 

[Rita_Poon]

Finally, Jenas coughs up re Otamendi...

 

[Martin Alvito]

Bold move by the ref. Looks like the right one. Went into the contact rather than sidestep easily and play the ball.

 

[USABlue]

ref quick on head collisions at least. good to see

 

[tsubaki]

Don't think it's that. France was getting beat for pace down the wings, and Deschamps fixed the problem. Argentina continued to get looks after the double switch, but nothing as potent.

di Maria was taken off, in hindsight one wonders about that

Otamendi dog of a defender. So so bad

 

[Walken]

Otomendi is just as crap as I remember

 

[RomanReigns]

Time for another Argentina controversial pen me thinks

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

If France do manage to win this, where do we rate Deschamps in the list of all time international managers?

 

[Rita_Poon]

The only way it is red under current rules is if there is no attempt to legally play the ball.

Does that make it a yellow then?
