Silvio Dante Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) By my reckoning, that’s five penalties to Argentina this tournament in six games. Even by todays standards, that’s a shocking stat. All those calling the Messi stat of scored in every knockout round should take note of the big sodding asterisk. Edit - seven games. Still stinks.

italian dave Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Some seriously ungracious and rose tinted comments on here first half. Argentina are ahead because they are the better team.

They remind me of the good German sides: they’ll keep plugging away even when they’re struggling, and they only need a break to be back in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I still think France will have a good spell at some point, if they can take a chance the Argies will revert to type and be negative.

Perhaps I and others just don’t like Argentina , don’t like there snide cheating attitude when things arnt going well , like against the Dutch , totally agree there are much the better side and are playing some good stuff , but if France ( big if ) get one back and make it tense you will see a totally different Argentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
