    Time wasting at the 30 Minute mark.

    - Tagliafico diving at least twice and both times the Referee falls for it. Hah! What are we even doing here?

    - Referee telling Martinez to hurry his Goal Kicks.

    - With the play stopped Switzerland player throws it to another to set up the free kick and Argentine player sticks his hand out to knock it out its path. How is this not a Booking?

    Feel like I’m watching a Serie A game the past 20-25 minutes

    I know this final four is what a lot of people, want...this just doesn't feel magical. I like to fall in love during the WC and this just feels really not exciting at all anymore.

    The world needs Italia more than ever

    Even tho I don't care about the teams, I'm just glad the best 4 teams in the world are the final 4 teams, that doesn't always happen.

    Again Tagliafico. No intention to play the ball. Contact inevitably occurs, bowls over, but he's just fine. FK wastes 90 Seconds. BUT THE SKILLLLZZZZZZ!!!

    How do you get a 2nd Booking for Simulation?
    That's the correct call, IMO.

    He did it to himself. With all these camera's why do it? At least Argentina waits for the most minute bit of contact before falling over.

    Of all those guys I really think Juve gave up on Zakaria too early.

    some old a$$ former Udinese player comes in for Switzerland. Might as well go look for Gokhan Inler, Dzemaili, and Padalino to sub in also

    That was the right call.

    Who the ******** told Embolo to dive 18 seconds after they drew level and Argentina had stopped attacking for 50 Minutes?

    Swiss have themselves to blame.

    Only France and Spain have great Italy '06 quality Defences. England, Argentina, Switzerland concede too many. Whatever works.

    These hydration breaks truly kill the flow of the game, just a stupid marketing ploy anyway.

    Get Gregor Kobel to PK's and you should see 2 elite PK-stoppers.

    They're the work of the devil and should hopefully go away forever. I'm not a huge fan of club football, but I truly hope club leagues and competitions give the match breaks a big f off
