Spain champions. Well done. Fully deserve. De La Fuente sits at the same table as Aragones. Well done. Congrats to any Spaniards here.
You have seemed to be arguing that Argentina has received favorable calls this tournament and that the officiating has been inconsistent -- no one is contesting that, I'm only talking about the "it's rigged!" accusations.
Indeed, personally i don't like Farca and their players, club rivalry, however i like Argentina even less, on all fronts, anyone but them, so.....good enough for today
Because my point is the context barely matters, anything short of the most clearcut of reds and you guys would have gone crazy. Speaking of leaving out, I saw how you sidestepped my point that yellow cards for dissent are always avoidable.
Spain made Argentina have their first shot on goal at the 119th minute or something like that. Never seen anything like it in a final. Completely deserved. Playing against this Spain team as a player must be brutal. You will spend most of the 90mins chasing balls and trying, unsuccessfully, to close down passing lanes. When you finally manage to get the ball, you are almost instantly suffocated. They severely lack a world class scorer though, that's obvious.
I wasn't sure if you actually thought there were bad calls worthy of cards or just winding people up. My apologies, like I said I think you're a quality poster. And I agree that rigged is too strong a word, rigged doesn't score goals in open play. Argentina are thugs but they found goals all tournament. I just think they had a much longer leash than most every other team.
