Follow on from the last thread.

Spain really pressing

Nearly ☺️

Chance for Spain!

I can’t even think of anything to contribute to this thread! It’s not great so far is it?

Oyazarbal - DH keeps cackling over mispronouncing his name as Beelzebub. Come on Spain!

We really were

Just noticed one of the hoardings had Next on it. Do all countries worldwide see the same ads on the hoardings or do they change them for different countries?

There's no rhythm or flow. Then there's a fucking hydration break. It's awful.

We did say in the thread last night that tonight's game would be very hard pressed to equal last night's delight.

Card for Argentina

Yellow card! At last.

Think Spain will need a pen to score …

Argentina got a yellow?! Did the ref hit his head?

About fucking time.

Yay a yellow

Shock. Martinez yellow card

Trevor Noah is there, I've enjoyed watching his analysis of the games over the last month or so . Although he needs to be wearing an Argentinian shirt as he seems to be always supporting the losing team.

Yellow card for Martinez and well deserved.

(Manchester United supporter here).

That's the most interesting thing to happen so far - a yellow for Argentina!

Ohh a card! Finally!

Really hate when they show the refs view

I've seen clips of his watch parties, keep forgetting to watch one live.

Oh ffs nobody there for that cross

Apparently not - my eldest tried to explain why to me but I didn't get it. Sometp do with cameras and frames.

This is dire.
The real final was last night, it was a delight to watch.
