Egypt gets revenge and scores again!! 2-0.

 

[LionJim]

Wow this VAR crap is ridiculous. Ref calls no foul, Egypt goes length of pitch and scores but VAR says a foul when ball changed possession! WTF??

Egypt just scored, anyway. Brilliant goal.

A dreary performance by Argentina, 77’.

Being a Jets fan I'm used to watching other NFL teams to see good football. This is how I feel watching Argentina after the USMNT debacle last night.

Argentina was doing nothing and then decided to play.

And boy did they play and they have the greatest #10 ever on their side.

It was like watching Popeye eating his spinach, amirite?

Egypt made a "noise" and it wasn't "joyful".

 

[Erial_Lion]

Felt like it was another instance where VAR got it right (on the disallowed Egypt goal)...possession changed on a clear foul, and that change of possession led to a goal. It was consistent with the way that VAR is used...I guess a case could be made that VAR should ignore fouls that occurred under "x" scenario (in the other half of the field?) that led to a goal, but I'd rather they use it to get the call correct in a spot like that.

Luis Diaz just makes **** happen. He was the perfect replacement for Sadio Mane at Liverpool. Big mistake letting him go.

Sorry that I missed this one. The reports, and the video, indicate that is was a great game to watch.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

It was close, but I would not give a PK on this play, in OT of the knockout stage of the World Cup.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I'm not sure how this didn't score

 

[Tom McAndrew]

crazy shot, which almost scored

FIFA to Argentina:

 

[Tom McAndrew]

and an amazing save/hard to believe they didn't score, at the other end in OT

Argentina was doing nothing and then decided to play.

OTOH, Team USA was doing nothing and then decided to do even less.
