bbc lauding this referee as one of the best there is...

this is the twilight zone isn't it.

Everyone loves a bald ref for some reason.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The French have much more depth than Argentina, and that's showing. The subs have added fresh legs.

Makes a change from blabbering on about kin Brighton.

Historically he's been good. He has fallen prey to the same dynamic that has marred a lot of finals in the last two decades. FIFA doesn't want a sending off, and at least one side usually exploits this fact to the hilt.

L Martinez looked immense when he came on vs the Dutch - see if he does the same here

He did after looking horrific every appearance before it. Good player though World Cup aside.

idk who Acuna thinks he is attempting that

 

[Rita_Poon]

block and header clear, wow

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

How's Messi not scoring that?!

 

[sdk]

Yow! Action and excitement!

 

[Neiler]

Wow, almost fairy tale finish stuff. Great defending.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

What a block by Upamecano, game saver for sure

 

[USABlue]
