I’ve always thought Argentina were a dirty team but not god that was atrocious tonight by them, a complete shame to the sport the way they played all game no intention to do a thing but play for penalties, their behaviour at full time makes them look beyond petulant and sore losers, I hope FIFA throws the book at them and gives them suspensions and fines.
Thank goodness Spain won tonight not only being a Spanish fan but for football that they won!
They played fantastic against a team that was determined to disrupt and break up play
On a Premier League note, can’t wait for Arteta to not take inspiration from his country’s style of play and instead play like Argentina tonight and make his dark arts football even more dark.

Think Argentina did what they had to in the end as the game evolved.
They could barely keep the ball with 11 men, and had little effect when they did.
If England had 5% of the spirit and fight of Argentina, they may very well be the ones crying in the final.

Argentina did what they had to do. I have no issue with teams playing dirty or using obstructive tactics to win, it is part of professional sport. It is also the referee's job to ensure the game is played fairly.
The issue with Argentina is Messi - the game will simply not be refereed fairly in any game he is on the pitch. Thankfully, this will be his last World Cup.

Ronaldo got criticised for dragging Portugal down, Messi was just as bad. An absolute passenger for the entire tournament.
{Ed078's Note - he scored and assisted in several goals, including the 2 that put England out.

Hang on @78, you just can't start producing facts, mate, it's not the done thing. ?
{Ed078's Note - it'll never catch on.

I've seen some statements in my time but that's gotta be up there. ?

It's either ironic or moronic.

The thing that stood out for me was what an absolute braindead PoS that rat faced cretin Enzo Fernandez is. Imagine being so stupid as to talk your way into a silly needless yellow card then to follow it up with an equally entirely needless yellow for a tackle that wasn't there to be made. Weapons grade dickhead just doesn't do him justice.

Wow, VV, let us know how you really feel about Enzo.
