Let the conversation continue.

Any goals yet? Just had a quick skim and mostly seeing that Argentina are being scumbags. How irritating 😤

Is this how they always are?? 👀

The public should've been prepared!

Ooh I never knew that! Thank you 😀

fu...ck i thought that went in for a second

none yet!

Always knew Argentina was a dodgy country with dirty cheating national team!!

Why was that a yellow card and none of the Argentinian fouls not?!

Some of these Argentinian players are confusing this with a boxing match! Blooming hell!!! How none of them have a yellow card is beyond me!!!

Most of us were

Finally a yellow card!

The aggression from Argentina is insane.

On a side note Infantino reminds me of the video that went viral a few years ago when a woman stuck fake eyebrows on her baby.

😄😄fair enough fair enough

🤣

and it will only get worse 🤣

Keep your strength England!

I love bellingham but he is always diving

I'd be surprised if all 22 players are still on the pitch at the end of the match at this rate. Argentina seem to be intent on getting Anderson off the field.

I did it in the 70s, the PE teacher followed us in his cortina, smoking a fag😂We were lucky to get a drink in the manky dinner hall at lunch. And I went to a ‘posh’ grammar school.

Ah the beautiful game

I’m not enjoying this. England deserve to win. If Argentina were playing well it would be enjoyable but they’re playing ‘by any means’ and hoping to get away with it.

Yes it’s shit football!

We are owning them in free play. Watch out for more fouls after half time. They are scared of us.

Exactly
