nice ball for perez but he was clearly offside..  and smacks Umtiti in the face

don't think so, there was someone on the near side playing him on

didn't look like it at first glance, but i might concede that point if they show the replay again

oh olly.. if you coulda controlled that a bit better

VAR agreed with the ref..   it started outside the box.. but the final shove to knock him down was in the box

so shouldn't he give initial foul? he fouled outside, then let go then shove inside.

It's called an ongoing foul. If it continues into the box then it's a penalty. Referees have been instructed by Fifa and Uefa to enforce this for the past few years because there used to be so much foul play on the edge of the penalty box.

so smart to have kante stick on messi like glue

well fuck me, i didnt see that one coming.. Di Maria with a beautiful shot

Decent strike.

Mascherano is a dumb fuck

Argentina, if they get through, will be better off with him out.
