Semi Finals

Old Messi's nerves have been something else. I suppose that comes from having been so close, once.

Same is probably true of the veteran Croatians.

Bet Shearer/Sutton/Jenas or whichever numptey is saying football things at half time says ‘2 keepers wouldn’t have stopped that’

That's not a penalty, the goalkeeper didn't stop him taking his shot on goal.

Messi makes it 1 - 0

There's a lesson coming here, you watch Argentina focus on the defender on a yellow now, running at him, diving, snide shirt pulls, demanding another booking from the ref, the lot. All the things England didn't do vs France.

CR7 just smashed his tele.

If he were American, he would have shot it instead.

McCoist 'thats officially unstoppable' - close

What a superb penalty, especially under such pressure.

Messi looks like a hamster.

I thought Holden's explanation was spot on - the goalkeeper prevented a follow-up, which otherwise easily could have resulted in a goal. YMMV.

Think it was about as clear a penalty as you’ll ever see tbh

It’s a clear foul. Doesn’t matter if he got a shot off or not
