this is what gets me about the english pundits commentators and the whole english media they have to play Norway first but it's a given that they would play Argentina, if they Argentina got through and norway is a side show arrogant as always.


By the way what happened to the var for eight before Argentina got a 3rd goal ,heard nothing.

All the big decisions go the big boys way, they dont like anyone upsetting the stellar countries. If Messi had retired they wouldn't be bothered about them. All about TV ratings and advertisements. Typically American

I get that you love to bash America & all Americans, so by extension my wife & my grand children but how is this result anything to do with them? Was the ref American? Was the VAR American? How about blaming the team for being unable to hold onto a 2 goal lead? Or even just the ref & VAR without mentioning Americans & it being their fault?

How about being honest and admit that Egypt should have had VAR as well.

This World Cup has been the most corrupt ever

And yes I hope it’s never played in USA again

I have no problem blaming VAR, in fact if you read up a little I did just that about the disallowed goal.

But you blaming all Americans (my wife & grandkids) for all the ills of the world is getting a little ridiculous.

How about you be honest as well & stop blaming a whole country because of their idiot president.

Zlatan Ibrahimović: "I don't understand how Argentina always gets favoured by FIFA, they clearly disallowed a legal goal of Egypt and they gave Argentina 8 Penalties in the last 12 World Cup games, I don't understand why the other countries are letting it happen

I too have American relations family we cannot tar all, just the same as you cannot say all welsh are horrid because you may have spent some time in swansea.
Trump winds a lot of people up so does keir starmer and mark drakeford did until he left, same as starmer and trump will leave one day ,
Putin gets my goat more than trump a nasty piece of work .

Having said all that my relations family never offered me a free holiday for the world cup.

France are Argentina's main rivals to win the tournament.

All of the refereeing officials for France v Morocco are from Argentina.

You may be right, but you just never know with FIFA. I just found it odd that it would be all Argentinians refereeing the best team in the tournament.

Colombia remind me of the old Brazil clever nice touches quick movement, they can then slow it right down, then off again.
I have not seen this from any of the other south American teams .
