And that’s why I couldn’t root for the Argentinians. Lacked class and played like thugs, complaining to the referees, diving, etc.
Wait, what? I’ll be up front and say I wanted Argentina to win, but that was simply because I wanted to see Messi win it and hopefully end the years of bullshit I read/hear about him. I’ll also add that I don’t like players on both teams and Emiliano Martinez is one of those guys. Still, did you watch the match? Rabiot’s yellow was a scissors kick on De Paul from behind with zero intention of getting the ball. That was followed up shortly thereafter by Mbappe kicking De Paul from behind out of frustration (for which he wasn’t carded). Thuram took a big dive in the box trying to win a penalty. Muani embellished big time on the penalty he drew (as I did Di Maria it should be said, but less so, and both were still penalties). The French bench was complaining to the refs multiple times from what my broadcast said.
