Ah - we demand consistency, but we also want referees to officiate 'in the spirit' and interpret as well......

Frankly, as long as we can all still argue in the pub / online, we're happy 😉
aye, we need the arguments! 😆
This french team, looking good, put together some great moves here going forward.
Come on Peru ...rooting for your team Nobby! 😁
Like to Messi rise to the Ronaldo challenge but I fear he may not.
By God I'm pushing my luck !
I will have watched all three matches today and the missus has been as good as gold ( although she has been out most of the day ) ..
Hope it's a good open game but these two teams could cancel each other out ....
Oh goody! Mark Lawrenson is commentating!
Messi doesn’t look a happy bunny at all. I’ve had a punt on a Croatia win
Argentina seemed to have raided the local clown circus for defenders.
I really hope Argentina lose this. Their blatant diving is embarrassing
OOPS!
and they’ve just taken Aguaro off
HOTT!!! 😆
Howler of the tournament! 😆
aguero offered less than sterling did for us. Hope they go out diving then moaning when it happens to them. messi should have done what costa did and swapped to Spain.
Argentina seemed to have raided the local clown circus for defenders.
And a goalkeeper.
Embarrassingly bad defending and goal keeping in this game
Can dybala or aguero play in midfield. Surely put messi on the wing cutting inside with higuen in the centre?
Pick that out
Don't cry for me Argentina?
Scrap that they need a miracle.
What a finish! That’s Messi going home then having done nowt! Ronnie must be laughing his tits off!
peach, think messi chucked it 10 minutes ago, just been walking about the pitch...
Game over
Well continuing the song from above Messi might reply, “...the truth is I never loved you”.
Well that was quite a rough game I thought, but the better team won (even though they played just as dirty as the other team) 3.0 Cro and it’s pretty much “blue and white failed to fight”
So Iceland need 4 points to make it out of the group at the expense of Argentina guaranteed. Doable but it will be tough to get a point off Croatia.
Yep and at 3 pts with a good win will get them most of the way. It really doesn't look like Argentina can play for each other at the moment
Thoroughly entertaining game. Brilliance from modric and such calmness to finish them off for the 3rd. Hey Cro, Let's Go!
So today I shall mostly be an Iceland fan... along with Costa Rica & Serbia.
I didn't see the game last night, were Croatia good or were Argentina that bad?
Bit of both.
Would prefer to see Croatia knocked out at the first opportunity however as they don't seem to play very nice. Argies were just as bad mind.
Oooh - drama for Brazil...
Nice to see VAR working. That was never a penalty! He should have carded Neymar for diving!
Another game that isn’t going according to the script! Brilliant! 😀
TBH I’m going off Neymar.
C'mon Costa Rica ... rest of my office agrees ... there's a thing cheering against Brazil !!??
Neymar should've been off - 1 x yellow for diving, 1 x yellow for mouthing off to the ref
He’s like a petulant toddler. He should have been off for cumulative nobishness
Going to miss all three games today 🙁
Have we all seen these?
🙄 ??
anyway just got in to see Iceland a goal down and doing their chant...awesome! Nigeria looking comfortable though.
Musa playing brilliantly...hits the bar then scores fabulous solo effort.
Just seen Musa’s first goal......wowser!
VAR working is good. Neymar shown up to be the bawbag that he is. And defo a penalty for Iceland. The taker was a clear flapper mind you and stick o. To sky it. Was still a penalty though!
Good lad Mitro ..thats another couple of Mil on your transfer fee ...great header.
now honestly - was that total airshot (airhead) any worse that Caballero's error, or De Gea's fumble, or Karius's flap
But can you even remember who it was now, 2 minutes later?
Bloody hell! Pick that out! 😳
Another absolutely top drawer finish there from Seitzerland ! Goal of the tournament already has some pretty serious contenders. And theyve not come from the usual suspects.
I try and defend the officials, it's a tough job, but did all the VAR team nip out for a piss briefly?
Shaquiri is awesome, that shot on the turn would have been an amazing goal, Xhaka’s goal was fantastic....it’s all awesome stuff so far.....loving it!
