World Cup 2026

Sicario2

Coombs how many times in football have you seen a player get sent off for this? It’s as bad as the Rice sending off but you don’t do the former especially in a game of this magnitude

GooneriC

Sicario2 I dont have a problem with it but he needed to book De Paul earlier for the same thing.

Coombs

Sicario2 it's a new VAR related rule. How many times could we have seen it?

tazmania

Clear dive but did I miss a new rule about VAR and simulation

banduan

tazmania introduced this world cup "Mistaken Identity"

tazmania

banduan ya for the yellow for Argentina, not to send off the opponent. Embolos a donkey either way

CPM

We need more yellow cards for diving, this is a welcome development.

banduan

tazmania that's how it works. Really weird name for it.

banduan

Shame Zachariah can't pass

Sicario2

Coombs regardless of VAR it’s an unwritten rule that you do NOT send off players for simulation

tazmania

De Paul had 2 dives and Parades. So you're telling me if Xhaka got a yellow for those, the ref would rescind and give the yellow to Argentina? Id sooner agree with Sicario, looks rigged

QuincyAbeyie

tazmania the rule for rescinding a a yellow card given to the wrong player can only be applied when a yellow card is given, yes.

I find it very funny when people cry rigged while getting mad at hypothetical scenarios that haven't actually happened.

@Sicario2 has already claimed that it's rigged for a Ronaldo Messi final, he's just changing the conditions as the matches goes by. Unwritten rule that you don't send a player off for diving? If anything, making a clear dive like that is unbelievably stupid and even more deserving of a yellow than if he didn't have one before. I could understand the outrage if it wasn't quite clear whether it was a dive or not, but it just looked ridiculous.

Sicario2

I was an inch away from going to bed but then Swiss scored, ffs

Rohit

Argentina are such a boring team.

Sicario2

Who said Alvarez not good enough for Arsenal?

invisibleman18

Alvarez what a hit.

invisibleman18

Argentina it is. Fairly storied rivalry in World Cups. 3-2 to England in WC meetings. Geoff Hurst in 1966, Maradona 86, Simeone/Beckham and the Owen goal 1998, Beckham revenge 2002.

Meatwad

england has no excuse. argentina is spent.

banduan

Meatwad so are England though

Kel Varnsen

Shame about the loss for Norway. Close game as expected, that could have gone either way. The equalizer was just a sequence of horrible defending. Not impressed at all by England. The winner of Spain-France will probably win it all. Both are clearly better than England and Argentina.

awooga83

Kel Varnsen I mean France and Spain the best 2 teams so that was always the case. England now par for me with the semis because I think they are in the top 4. Certainly played very poorly against Norway and that made the game very marginal which leaves it much more open to variance as Arsenal have discovered many times. But it went for us this time.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep Spain or France will win it.

Thought Haaland was so poor yesterday.

And Odegaard despite being neat on the ball is as powderpuff as it gets. His attempts to play forward passes are dire. Needs to learn how to put shape on the ball
