The Swiss survived the 1st half of extra time. The commentators are throat hugging Messi every chance they get
Alvarez scored a golaço and Argentina surely going through now So after all the upsets, the twists... We end up with the top 4 FIFA rated nations in the semifinals, all the favourites make it. Coincidentally they were all placed separately in the bracket so they couldn't face eachother until the semifinals...
VARgentina have literally been abysmal this tournament. They struggled and almost lost to Cape Verde, Egypt and now almost to 10 man Switzerland for an entire 60 minutes..
That was a ridiculous decision by Pinheadeiro to give a red for that when we’ve seen that if not worse all tournament..
Did you watch that part of the game? The ref gave the Argentina player the yellow for the foul, then there was a VAR check and since it was determined that Emboli dove, it's a yellow card for Embolo
Happend in the match between the USA and Paraguay, where a mistaken identity review similarly allowed the ref to rescind a yellow card from USA defender Tim Ream and instead book Paraguay’s Miguel Almirón for simulation
It’s just weird you’re siding with an obviously ridiculous decision in an extremely high stakes QF match with a team that’s a bunch of rat thieves and being investigated by the FBI…
It happens 100% of the time if it’s Argentina.. What’s strange is they had a Portuguese ref (Pinheadeiro) side with them on a highly controversial call that completely flipped the game around..
