that's not a handball.

very harsh call against Austria in my opinion.

Handball call against Austria was contentious but the one against the Jordanian defender was straightforward.

First Austrian victory at a World Cup since Italia 90.

2 Contentious decisions today (the Mbappe penalty claim). Lucky they did not affect result.

Have there been others?

Messi tattooed an Algerian with his studs.. No red card becuase, well because the tournament cant happen without him, what would the sponsors do?

 

[JS96]

Catch up all done. Messi timeless and Algeria keeper terrible. Iraq fought hard and a stupid backpass error that shouldn't have happened.

Austria beat Jordan a bit like Australia does. It was a fight.

Gees - that non-penalty for Mbappe seems like it's apparently a penalty in every country except Australia - I haven't ready any articles/posts/tweets/etc on it yet other than the headlines - but 100% was just as bad as Almiron's dive against USA

Need more of this in the officiating and play culture that you can just start a fall and claim you've been fouled.

He knew what he was doing, he's been getting away with that sort of stuff his whole career.

protected species.

Saw the headlines but hit the footage. I'll find it.

Put Harry Souttar on a Pringles tin! Italiano for pasta. Beach can do beach towels and Irankunda turbo motor tuning.

Tough one today. Portugal DR Congo at 7pm and then potential 10pm beet garden for England. Early start tomorrow but want to sneak in a quick watch of Uzbekistan.

That's so blatant! Bloody hell.

DR ranked 46 v Port.
You wonder how strong a line up Port puts out - I’m sure CR7 will put his hand up in the hope of taking Messi hat trick limelight from him ha….

Happy days re 6am Cro 3Lions game here.
I’ll be on board heading to Gotham city my flight’s entertainment.

 

[LFC]

Unlike many I’m not fussed over the Messi leg tangling - he’s not a blatant dirty player cops more than he gives.
Benefit of the doubt - sure someone else prob gets red - idgaf he’s the little Master

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Headlines are headlines as you know zimbos - even when he or CR7 fart people would press like or luv on their insta accounts

Mind you ugly goal or not the little master is to be admired last WC.

To be fair farts are pretty funny. Have you seen those fake vids of the Trump officials doing them?

Lionel Messi with a hat-trick, an achievement overshadowed by a clear foul.

 

[Robbos]

Zidane's son

Yes amazing.

 

[zimbos05]

Just seen the Messi tackle. How that was not a red card, not even a yellow is beyond me. Don't ever tell me he doesn't get special treatment.
