Lot of intimidation from the Dutch during those pens tbf. Still great game either way it had ended up going. Messi was well rattled, thought he was going to miss but never mind. |  | | |

Martin Keown might recognise that unsportsmanlike behavior ... |  | | |

I think FIFA has decided that Messi is going to win to be honest. | |

Ref booked an Argentinian for deliberate handball in the first half. Messi did a more blatant one in the second half. Result? nothing. | | | |

If we do meet Argentina in the final, and they indulge in over-the-top sh*thousery, then just this once I will not mind the Sun et al invoking the Falklands spirit.
If Kyle Walker is off on a Red because Messi is off on a stretcher then I'm OK with that. |  |

Terribly biased refereeing. Messi did get a yellow card in the end but could do no wrong in the refs eyes. Pretty sure he even blew up for a foul when two Argentinian players collided in the box.
Worst officiating of the tournament
Had Argentina down as favourites before the World Cup started, would love to see them well beaten now. |  |

You would have liked the Private Eye spoof of The Sun headline
" Kill an Argie and win a Mini Metro" |  | | |

Definitely like the spoof headline.
Mini Metro not so much.
A mate of mine took his metro for an MOT and they stuck it on the lift thingy so they could see underneath and it showered rust on the floor.
"That's not good" said the mechanic.
It failed. | |

Incredible that this is their first reaction to reaching a World Cup semi final.
Someone needs to show them some class in this tournament. |  |

Does say a lot about their mentality. Or maybe the Dutch had been yapping and barking at the end of normal time and it was some nice payback. | |

Dutch were yapping at the end of normal time because the Argies, much like the Brazilians, we’re showboating their way thinking they had it won with 5 minutes to go |  |

Why make stuff up? Argentina were 2-1 up with 5 minutes to go and had lost all control of the match. There wasn't any showboating at the end of either match, both them and Brazil looked anything but comfortable in the last few minutes. |  | | |

I think it is the combination of vicious brutality coupled with motoring mediocrity that makes the headline a winner in my book
The very idea that you might snuff someone to win a pile of cr@p is too delicious | | | |

Seen that before, very badly clipped photo, the wider angle one I then saw shows them looking at the rest of the coaching staff and subs rather than opposition | | | |

Saw some stuff after the match that there’s a bit of beef with Van Gaal over comments he made some years ago with regards to how Latin American teams play, plus for all Argentina were certainly getting aggressive at times the Dutch were hardly angels throughout. |  |

Brazil got sloppy and thought they had it won, showboating and goading Croatia, Argentina thought they had it won | |

For those who never experienced the delights of the Mini Metro I would describe it as:
Rubbish to drive not helped by lorry style steering wheel angle. Wheezy, slow with its ancient engine, rubbish stir the pudding gearbox, noisy, poor ride. The build quality was appalling, even by the standards of the day. They fell apart, rusted, leaked, you name it. Reliability? Nah. Awful. On the upside, the tailgate was useful. Well, until the gas struts failed.
We had a pool car Metro at work and a colleague I travelled to work with had two or three. The last one was a Vanden Plas Metro. Posh velour seats and a bit of wood inside it. It was the most unreliable of the lot. Even the paint fell off.
Back in the early 80s, the Mk1 Fiesta was around, numerous Japanese small cars (rusted like no tomorrow, but never broke down or lost oil), the jerries were producing the Polo. French, the Renault 5, the Italians a number of small cars which despite falling to bits were at least good to drive.
It’s no wonder British Leyland went down the pan. I’m amazed they managed to stifle the laughter selling rubbish like that (add in the Allegro, Princess, Ital/Marina …oh dear). |  | | |

Yep, the most blatant inconsistency I have ever seen simply laughed off by the commentary team as he's Messi! It matters too. He was, indeed, booked later In the game and that would have been him off and suspended for the semi. Hope he gets booked in the semi and misses the final. [Post edited 10 Dec 2022 9:51]

Check out the overhead coverage later in the thread - it shows a bit of context! It shows the Dutch players trying to wind the Argie pen taker up as he walks forward. Very, very much against the spirit of things. I’m not surprised they then reacted as they did. |  |
