    This is the one on Agüero, the 2nd goal starts from this. It's also the reason why some of the argentinian players stopped moving during the play (they shouldn't have done that though, always keep playing):


    IMO Dani trips Agüero. But it's debatable

    Now, how the hell you think the one of Arthur isn't a foul??? Running into what? His high elbow? Lol he even sees Otamendi coming and rises his arm. Please, let's be honest here.

    Honestly can't see much from that replay. Need a different angle. Ball wasn't getting to him though.

    Yeah! I clearly saw it...Otamendi, that brute, he smashed poor little Arthur's elbow with his throat! I thought he broke it!

    Casemiro just got a yellow card...

    Btw: Havelange came into my mind for some reason... Ahhh the good old times...

    Good thing we have the VAR...

    Another angle:


    Him not having the ball shouldn't matter as long as the ball is in play. For example, if your team is attacking and you are a defender that punches an opponent player all the way in the other area, you should still get a pen called against you.

    Anyways, despite the refs I don't want to be a crybaby. Brazil simply is a better squad that has more decisive players than us and that's why their plays end inside of the net and ours hit the post. That's it.

    Yep .. better angle. More clear here. But I don't think punching is a good analogy. But you're probably right here. If the ball would have gotten there it definitely could have been called.

    Like I said, you guys played with heart and should have at least tied it up. And that would have made us even more nervous. But I am not sure if that speaks of you turning a corner or we playing badly. We both have work to do from 3 years for now although there is another CA next year.

    Like they walloped 10 man Paraguay and Argentina? I think Chile is the favorite.

    He didn't say Brazil walloped anybody... he predicted Brazil will "wallop" the opponent in the final.

    "Walloping" opponents is not a prerequisite for winning championships. Eliminating opponents is.

    Paraguay needed a perfect game to keep Brazil at bay. 1 lapse of concentration and they were out in regulation.

    Brazil have been the best team, added along the fact that they have a near impeccable home record. Both Chile and Peru don't have much chances in my opinion, but as always games need to be played.

    I really hope we win today. People don't stop trash talking us, and it is tiring to see others already congratulate Chile for getting to the final.

    Matches have to be played, and I firmly believe we are capable of beating the team that didn't go to the World Cup.

    Good luck to all Chileans, may the best team win.

    AFA president Claudio Tapia sent CONMEBOL a letter about last night's match, about the competition's logistics, and even about President Jair Bolsonaro being in the stadium. His letter also raised the issue of "ethics, loyalty, and transparency."

    The man is entitled to his opinion, but given the highly controversial refereeing seen in his own country's ascenso matches, I think he's better off cleaning up house at home first.

    Fans of any country who complained about last night and who idolize Maradona for the hand goal in 1986 have no moral leg to stand on.

    Supporters of the letter's claims or those who think Brazil bribed the referee and yet who laughed when Brazilian fans complained about how River Plate's manager Gallardo flaunted the rules in the 2018 Libertadores semifinals after the 4 semifinalists signed a fair play agreement are likewise hypocrites (or maybe they're just sore losers) are like liberals in the U.S.: they only get mad when the "other side" does it.

    Speaking of fouls, anyone concerned with "ethics, loyalty, and transparency" should be silent if they will ignore the very unethical and highly violent fouls Argentine players unleashed on Gabriel Jesus early on, tearing his skin and wounding him. As well, Tagliafico did a number of tackles and he could well have already earned a 2nd yellow by the 20-minute mark.

    And last but not least, President Bolsonaro was and is in his country, so Tapia would be wise to mind his business. He may be the leader of his country's soccer association, but whatever power he has is nothing to the power the chief executive of Brazil has.

    This is nothing against Argentine people in general, the Argentine nation, or the Argentine NT team itself (really). Selective moral outrage is however something rather funny, in a sardonic sense.
