Let the conversation continue.

i would be stunned if that happened! Even more stunned if it was an Argentinian who goes

God, it’s nearly half time. It’s been so lively, hasn’t it

i dont think argentina did well in the rugby, so there is that!

A polite protest 😆

wtf that was a foul

I agree. We are playing better than them I think

I think Argentina sent their rugby team

What are Argentina like at penalties?

3 mins of added time? So just the hydration break?

That’s their strategy - taking someone out

All this has done is make me think less of Argentina tbh

Fou d you!

Don't even take us there !!!

Argentina still look more comfortable on the ball, and a greater threat.

I am feeling irrationally angry just watching this. I don't normally have any interest in football but I have never wanted England to win so much

and where is Saka

This is very stressful

Have I missed anything? Had to drive to my daughters to babysit and couldn't get her tv to work!

they shoved kane there

What a horrible 45 minutes of scrappy, niggly, bad-tempered nonsense. Let’s hope an actual game of football breaks out in the second half.

Yeah we need Saka!
I be joining the irrationally angry among us

HT

England was the better team by a small margin

No blood shed so that’s a win!

Half time any moment.

It's been very scrappy with few real chances.

Nice one Argentina keep up the incessant fouls.
