Why do you think penalties are called? Maybe because the defenses can’t keep up and either commit sloppy falls or intentional falls. But you wouldn’t know that. Since you know nothing about football.

That $ht was poetry

Those corrupt refs felt like 2002 wc

@@stansmith5610 🤣🤣🤣 Which refs? The ones that didn’t call the handball or arm contact (penalty ) Against Croatia today? Those have to be the same ref you’re talking about??? lmaooooo

Nobody on Croatia wanted to press circle! ⭕

@@stansmith5610clear pen

Yep. That was the defining moment, 25 minutes away from being knocked out of the world cup and there were so many jitters and Argentina looked nowhere near convincing and then that happened. Blew the roof of the stadium.

The Mexico Game was the defining momento

Yes it’s was Mexico ! Even Aimar got emotional . Even messi .

Agreed. That shot only had 0.02xg as well. Messi basically created the goal out of nothing at a time Argentina needed it the most.

Absolutely right about that. The frustration the pressure the fear of defeat he just erased all that with his brilliance 🔥🙌

Alvarez's pressing is fun to watch. Prime Suarez like. The team as a whole is feisty as heck.... don't let the stats fool you.

🤣🤣 so great when the refs are helping you with those goal numbers

Stats not fooling me and you might have some anti Messi agenda. Alvarez was great with pressing and he was clinical but Messi assisted him twice. Messi is the backbone of this team and if you disagree then you need help

The assist for the 3rd goal today was also stunning. Vintage Messi

That that assist is the move of the world cup for me. He took out no less than 6 players with that pass.

Absolutely one of the greatest passes ever. Vision snd awareness was incredible. I actually think he used peripheral vision and not knowing the player was there like Frank said. All the greatest players have ridiculous peripheral vision

Seriously he is moving like crazy glad his been starting this tournament he is the difference maker for them just hope we get to see Di Maria enter that triple threat and it can be raps

Yea when Argentina won the game against Netherlands and I saw the blue and white celebrating I had dejavue of them winning the cup. I agree they are winning. Plus they haven’t even used Dimaria yet and I’m pretty sure lautaro has his confidence back after getting the winning penalty against Netherlands. France only have mbappe and a mediocre giroud

Exactly! Steve also gave the same example. Imagine the same situation happening outside the Box. It’s a clear foul. I think the only reason that foul raised doubts about its legitimacy was because it was a poor finishing touch by Alvarez. One gets carried away when u consider it. And that’s the reason some pundits find it hard to accept it as a foul.

Take it with a grain of salt. People in the UK understand a lot about the game they gave us, but nothing about the midfield. They actually think it has borders..

@@Larry4life cry me a river

Crotia had no way through on anyone. They don't know how to create opportunities that result in shots on goal. Pass allmday and possess all day, but if you don't shhot on goal , you lose.

It was a relief to see that Scaloni learned from his mistakes from the last two matches - playing park the bus after a two goal lead. He did gave me a start when he substituted Lisandro in and I thought here we go once more for the heart attack but they kept their offence going and that meant that the game was going to be finished in a clean manner.

@@messiisapig2478 I love that scenario.

Finally someone gets it.

Yes ! Argentina is really solid defensively

Absolutely those tackles meant Croatia restart their game from behind again and again.

Good point! Ppl don’t seem to understand that Argentina works so well as a team in the midfield and defence area. They really crowd the dangerous areas at the back at crucial times which nullifies the risk.

Once Argentina got really set in the match and established their flow, the defence, intersections and tackles and ball retrievals were just perfect.

Lmao, clear penalty... Messi fan but that wasn't even a foul not to talk of a penalty

Definitely intentional because he sticks his leg out more and longer. He just tried to play it off

@@abrahamjames7004 please watch the replay again

@@ph3713man don’t even listen to that dude lmao

@@cristianalexander8861 nope not a clearl penalty. Alvarez ran into HIM. And the gk sticking his leg out isn't what "fouled" Alvarez. Learn the rules

It's not even controversial. People it seems just like to argue everything.

I wouldn't have given a yellow with the penalty kick. Keeper has the right of way and no damage was done to Julien. Easy spot kick call, though.

@@asnark7115 there was no play made for the ball by the keeper. Just because the goalkeeper had a spot doesn’t give him the excuse of clashing the player when there is a % chance that the ball is on target and the player can still take the shot. Totally a penalty.

@@asnark7115 Good thing you’re not the ref in that game then, you’re not qualified for it

Correct that was a handball when I saw it I laughed they tried cheeky stuff the keeper wasn't as lucky lol.

Exactly. If goalie didn’t make contact Álvarez could have run around goalie and scored. 100% a penalty.

100%

The keeper moved forward to block the shot, and I repeat, SHOT from Alvarez, making all parts his body big, upper and lower. And when Alvarez mishits it, he moves toward the ball after it's going to be played by Croatian defenders and hits the keeper. Its not a pen for me, but the more important bit is that it's in no way clear cut, and VAR should've been involved.

@@fr8st903 timing was really poor from the keeper, blocking a rival player on the box is a penalty.

@@fr8st903 it’s a basic rule, if the keeper didn’t touch the ball then it’s a penalty

That might change going into the 2nd half of season, haaland is big and the thing that will allow Alvarez to succeed at city is he plays really similar to aguero, I’m not too worried about him tbh, he’ll show his talent whenever he gets the chance

and a hattrick.

@@stansmith5610 I don’t think that pen was as controversial as the one against Poland.

You probably think messis handball last game wasn't a handball too lol

You obviously didn't watch the game. Alvarez flicked it to much on the side and then ran into Livakovic not to mention that one of the Croatian defenders is already running behind Livakovic and would have gotten to the ball before Alvarez. So definitely not a penalty.

@@stansmith5610 Name another example of a keeper taking out a defender point blank on the 8 without touching the ball, and the ref didn't call a PK. That's what you are missing. The keeper has to actually touch the ball for it to go in the keeper's favor. There. I spoke to you as anybody would speak to a pet or a small child. Don't say we didn't try to politely help you with your confusion.

💯

Problem is that was Argentina fourth penalty more than anyone . They are being helped but no one say anything because it’s messi

I was actually watching the analysis from former referee. No way that's a penalty. This ref Orsato is 20m behind the ball at the moment and from his perspective it looks like a penalty because he is way behind in line with Alvarez and Livakovic. He should be at that moment from the side watching the action then he would se what Shaka and Frank are explaining. Alvarez flicked the ball to the side and ran into Livakovic. So if anything it should be foul from Alvarez. What nobody is talking about ref had a Achilles surgery and was actually slow to position himself in every critical situation. Not to mention that he didn't see that it should be a corner for Croatia prior to the play that translated into a dubious penalty. What I don't understand why VAR didn't signal him to at least watch the situation in slow motion. Then he would have whole different perspective. But we saw on this tournament even with VAR still getting the wrong decision. For example Scezny penalty. I think it's ludicrous what the refs are calling on this tournament and this was the defining moment that changed the whole momentum of the game in Argentina favor. Why do we have all this technology in football today if we don't use it properly. Ludicrous

@@messiisapig2478 how are they helped boy.Only one that wasn’t a penalty and that’s vs Poland. Argentina made it to the final by playing their hearts out and beating team by team.

@@messiisapig2478 now say this without crying🤣🤣

Yeah, clear pen - this is a ridiculous debate. If you freeze frame it, Alvarez was close to the GK, and the GK's legs were shoulder-width. The GK stuck his right leg WAY out, which is exactly what Alvarez collided with as he was trying to run around him and make a play on the ball. If the GK didn't stick his leg out or if Alvarez collided directly into the GK's body, it's not a pen, because he roughly held his position. Also had Alvarez blazed a shot with no possibility of making a play on the ball, it's not a pen. I've seen tons of silly pens where the defender sticks his leg out a bit trying to get the ball, and the attacking player drags his leg to get some contact. A lot of times, although inside the box, they are VERY unlikely to score from the position they were in. Yet, there's never any debate about those pens. Here the GK stuck his leg WAY out at the last minute, there was no way for Alvarez to avoid it, and Alvarez had an excellent chance at a goal if he got around the GK clean.

@@markomeker7789 There's a chance Alvarez wouldn't have recovered it, there's a chance he would have, there's a chance the defender would have bottled it like Croatia's defenders kept getting beaten all night long.

What killed the game was Croatia having no quality opportunities, even when Argentina bunkered so they could rest.

Totally agree on AR's solid defence - they really took it to heart from the Saudi and Netherland games and did not lossen up even they were ahead. Great game from a great team.

Tbh they haven’t been tested, although I say that the few times they have been they were brilliant aside from the Netherlands brace. The attacks they’ve face so far is not a world class attack that’s why

@@Dev10695 still disagree even after reaching world cup final?? OMG!!! You want Argentina and messi to play with UFO team to prove?? 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

 what are you talking about. It’s just common sense they have a good defense but everytime they were tested like Saudi Arabia match and Netherlands they conceded. Croatia hardly even tried taking a shot even when they were in position to and same as Poland the rare times they got in a position to shoot.
