Total fluke, bah

I think it is a penalty because however ball oriented the keeper's action was, he did hinder the attacker. Hence only yellow (which is harsh imo but is in the rule book).

I can't lose tonight, because I am totally split been wanting to see Messi win the WC and wanting to see the Argentinian team cry bitter tears because of the way they misbehaved after they lucked out against Oranje. They are one of the last to have the right to complain about the 'anything goes to win' mentality and they would even probably agree with that. But to taunt the opponent after winning is one of the all time lows I have ever seen. And Messi complaining about the ref who spared him at least 2 more yellow cards, you couldn't make it up. I can only think one thing: the Dutch really, really got under their skin. Not a bad feat for a European team with the reputation of 'nice to look at, but will never win anything because of it'. Oh, and when Croatia lose, Vida loses, so that's not a bad thing either I really can't decide.

To be fair to him, he has done a lot of cringy things, but dissing Messi has never been one of them. That's purely down to his fanbois. To see them crying and wiggling around to still maintain he is the greatest, would be a great boon to Messi going all the way.

France most likely to me, but I would like it if it would be Argentina. The crown on Messi's career and the end of the debate who is the GOAT. But then, Morroco winning it would be the greatest WC upset of all time and a glorious thing to watch. However, Croatia winning it would be a fitting reward for all their great football in the last 1500 years. (Them not winning it would be karma for including Vida of course ) I really can't choose ^^

Amrabat and it's not even close. Messi will get it of course

Whenever the vast underdog get a result people invariably say: 'they deserved it'. Hell no. In about 90% of the cases they totally fluked it.

Halfway during the second half I would have sworn England would score at least two more.

Great gesture from Pickford. Give the guy some space ffs.

Close!

Now then, all commentators in the world are talking about Oranje

8 minutes. They're getting more thrifty with the ET as the tournament progresses

Oh noooooo

Becks can't look

Yellow, fair enough. No ball control.

Penalty. Card?

Pen. Stonewall.

Giroud! Against the run of play, but yeah. Football.

Great save!

Ooof! Come on England, you have to score now

That would have been some story

Griezman living dangerously

So Mbappé is about 0,0001 km/h faster than Walker.

Oof!

He looks hella nervous
