He did get a yellow in the end, but should have got one sooner |  |

There's no need for it, and it can be so easily stamped out. As far as goalkeepers are concerned, there's absolutely no need for them to do anything other than move from the touchline to the goal line via the most direct route. Goal line official is responsible for retrieving the ball from the back of the net and returning it to the referee, ball team responsible for doing the same with any missed shots. |  |

Not helped by Lineker, who I generally like, giggling at it and Rio going "look at this guy man". Fcuk off. |  |

The Argentina subs in the corner should have seen a yellow card for booting and throwing the ball away as well. |  | |  |

Yep, it would have been interesting to see how well Messi would have coped had he been given that job to do... |  |

Ferdinand is about as insightful and intelligent as a garden vegetable, but Lineker is supposed to be better than that. |  | |  |

Linekar and Rio are so cringey. Linekar is particularly unbearable. 'Diego Armando Maradona' in his 'I used to live in Spain' accent he gets out every 5 minutes. |  |

Yellow cards from the match are not carried forward to the shoot out. The law states that a "A goalkeeper who is sent off must be replaced by an eligible player". |  | |  |

There have been far too many encroachments by subs onto the field of pay in this WC, easily dealt with by showing cards. |  | |  |

There wee at least 2 Argentine subs running on the field of play before Messi's shot left his foot for the 3rd goal. |  | |  |

It's an interesting contrast between this sort of stuff, that the pundits seem to endorse as 'being a bit of a character', compared to everyone and their mothers getting on their high horses at on-pitch fisticuffs, declaring them as 'scenes nobody wants to see'. |  |

Lineker is a smug wánker and a shÃt presenter, despite having done the job for over 20 years. |  |

I disagree, but I do think he's not as good as he used to be and some of his quips are a little cliche now he's done it for so long. |  |

So the keeper can engage in unsporting behaviour in the shootout, knowing that he can only be booked again if he was already booked in the game? I’d have thought Lineker at least wouldn’t see any funny side as he was on the receiving end in 86. |  | |  |

Thanks for that. I wondered what would happen in that situation. |  |

Surely it means he won't get sent off for his first offence in the shootout if he's already been cautioned in the game? Surely if he does it twice he can get sent off? Or am I reading that wrong? |  | |  |
