I’m not disagreeing with the penalty decision, but I ****ing hate how easily he went down in the box from that little of contact. It’s no fun watching players embellish contact to draw penalties. These teams are too good to have that be a deciding goal in this match. Hopefully we get more action and that’s not it.

His foot got clipped/tripped by the French’s foot. 100% no doubt penalty. He certainly wasn’t flopping

And unnecessary, he had help there.

Shades of Brazil in 98 for the French. Something just ain't right with them. I guess we'll find out afterwards whether it's simply just down to this bug going through the camp

The consistent flopping from Argentina is pathetic. They don't need to do it. That PK awarded the Argentina was b*******.

This is one of those games where one team wants to win and the other team?

They have to win.

ARG has just completely removed the French midfield. And beaten them on the ground with control.

Almost another.

France aren’t a great defensive team. That’s been shown all tourney. I don’t think there is anything wrong necessarily. Just ran into a buzz saw.

2 feet shorter on that pass and it's an easy put in

This isn't about defense though. They are just getting outran and outfought in the midfield. It's really weird to see because their players have been energetic all tournament.

He definitely tripped him. That’s getting called every time.

The Argentina team definitely flops like crazy though.

The argies have all done a couple of lines of coke pre-match and at half time.

Totally agree on the midfield. All match it’s appeared that ARG has 15 guys on the field. They have been everywhere.

No. When you get tripped, you don't start to fall backwards. It's a flop. In English premier League that would not be a PK.
