Knockout Stage General Discussion Thread

England fans whistling and booing a during Argentina's anthem.

 

Thomas Tuchel is going to have to earn his money tonight.

 

Really physical play, very chippy. Plays into the hands of Argentina if this continues.

 

Hydration break.

England started off looking better. Since then it has been pretty even.

 

First yellow. They fouled Messi.

 

Pickford not really looking all the confident with his feet today.

 

Argentina get's a yellow.

 

HT.
Argentina is "winning" 0-0.

The style and grit and the pace of the game is going their way so far.

 

Bellingham saved the day by shielding the body away from the ball from Messi.

 

Another yellow for Argentina.

 

1-0 England.

Gordon.

 

I can only imagine the agony they are going through in Scotland right now.

 

Pickford is looking really shaky again.

 

Can England just play defense this deep the rest of this match? They will have to relieve the pressure somehow.

 

Pickford with the nice save there.

 

Is anyone other than Kane or Bellingham allowed to score for England? Surprised that goal counted!

 

Last quarter of the match. Let's see how it goes.

 

Refs won't help Argentina. USA is England's best friend. Probably have the stand down order.

 

Hit the post.

 

England fans must be crapping their pants right now. So many chances for Argentina.

 

Another save by Pickford.

 

Golazo by Enzo. 1-1

 

Once again a long shot opens up the defense and results in a goal. "Sports science" bros crying.

On another note, while Argentina was preferred by FIFA, we cannot dismiss their resilience. I lost track of how many times they got back into a game at the end in this tournament.

 

All the momentum is with Argentina now.

 

What a GOAL !!!
