That entire match was crazy. No way there should not have been a red for the tackle (yellow) and boot (yellow). Messi was an absolute toddler the entire match and post-match. I love Emi Martinez and miss him at my beloved Arsenal, but his antics were too much as well.
Hated to see the Dutch go out in that fashion, but man it was entertaining for the neutrals.
France-England was good, too. I was pleasantly surprised to see Kane blast it over the crossbar with a chance to equalize. Part of me wanted to see England do well, my boy Saka played lights out the entire tournament. Ramsdale should have been in goal despite Pickford keeping Everton up for now. For me, a biased Gooner, Ramsdale is in better form but certainly has his flaws. I think none of them are keeping Giroud out of the back of the net in that match. Am I allowed to miss the super slow Frenchman? :sad
Heading into the semis, I expect a France-Argentina final, again. Although, I am hoping for Croatia-Morocco. I am also starting to miss the Premier League, now that my country is out.
Eagler, do you mean Argentina? It is one of, if not the, most simple game in the world. Get the ball in the net and don't use your hands to do it. But, it is certainly not popular here in the States, so there is some forgiveness.
