Let the conversation continue.

Even if they win, it's not a true win. It's cheating!

So what's new? Surely everyone remembers the Hand of God in '86?

Yep, spoiling

There will be so much added time won’t there 😩

How are Argentina allowed to play like this all the time!!!

What on earth is going on?

Did our ball cross the line in ‘66?

Anderson yellow card after he has been battered?!

Spence is gonna be a div and get himself booked if not careful.

yeah I'm bored.Im going to play a game and come back. By the law of probabiity - someone will definitely get a goal while im gone

messie is a teachers pet

Reckon they’re trying to antagonise to get another David Beckham moment from us

I agree.

Fair enough

they are like children!

God I detest Messi now, his a knob

Im just thinking that, I think if they win, they'll be seen throughout the world as dirty cheats and not respected.

I'm so bored!!
The Argentina team are being dirty!

😄😄

He did.!

Nasty bunch aren’t they

this poor referee reminds me of when i used to teach. he can't control them

Yes, VAR has been retrospectively applied and it was a goal.

Love Mick Jagger. When they film his life, Harry Styles will play him.

Yep, it’s nervy @the80sweregreat . But England are doing okay. And the ref isn’t as biased as I expected.

Clearly you never did cross country in PE in the 1980s

Well if England score whilst you are gone then you are banned from watching and from the thread 🤣
