He had a good first season with them but he's never given the impression he's a top class keeper. Just seems to raise his game for Argentina. So he's the Argentine Pickford.

Astafjevs Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Coulthard's Jaw said: Messi’s second of the game, 108 minutes in, restored Argentina’s advantage with Cristian Romero provocatively roaring his celebration in Mbappe’s face. As it transpired, and while there were no protests at the time, that goal should technically not have stood as two of the South Americans’ substitutes were encroaching on the pitch on the far side as Jules Kounde desperately tried to hack the forward’s attempt from the goal line. The subs had spilled on in anticipation of Lautaro Martinez’s initial shot finding the back of the net, only for Lloris to palm it out for Messi to convert. L’Equipe would quote law three, paragraph nine of the Laws of the Game in their morning edition, stating that if, “after a goal is scored, the referee realises, before play restarts, an extra person — a player, substitute, substituted player — was on the field of play when the goal was scored then the referee must disallow the goal”. Yet no one alerted referee Marciniak and he remained blissfully unaware of the encroachment. This is the sort of thing Yuko or gunman post and then tell us the referee was biased against their team Incredible that it's coming from a huge publication like L'Equipe 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making you wonder, why isn't one of the best strikers utilized better instead of having to be some kind of secondary playmaker in midfielder? Harsh.

We scored, and then because the other team had an extra person in the field of play it got chalked off. We were livid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the goals he let in, got a hand to both Saudi goals (IIRC) and Mbappe's second, yet he let them all in. Our fanbase is bigging him up to ridiculous levels after winning the WC though. Saying it'll take around 100m to prize him away and that he's undoubtedly world class. Laughable and a little cringe.

TalkSport Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 It will be interesting now to see how some of the Argentine players fair in the coming weeks, mostly in the Prem. Will the likes of Martinez etc be back for games over Christmas/New Year, or will clubs allow them a nice bit of time off. Because it’s going to be hard psychologically go from 4 weeks of draining games ending on a high, to then following week pick yourself up for a meh domestic league/cup game. Not like previous tournaments where you get few weeks break, then few weeks to ease back in (unless the clubs grant that time). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - MASSIVE difference there Edit: The quote seems to have screwed up, that was the "Argentina showed England how to play against France" quote.

Darius1998 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Took the job when either no one else wanted it and the FA couldn't afford a foreign manager. Loads of people thought he was destined to fail as well, including Maradona, if I remember correctly. To go from there to Copa America and World Cup winners with their best players either retiring or past their peaks is very special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule makes sense as you don't want subs running around on the pitch and what have you, but seriously it's a couple of subs one or two steps on the pitch about a million miles away from any action. It should definitely be a rule where discretion is applied as it was here. L'Equipe have been utterly embarrassing in the aftermath of this game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy ********* players and culture but there has to be some level of self-awareness and I think you look a bit of a tit trying to mock the guy that almost dragged his side to a second world cup win with a hat trick in a World Cup final. He possibly just produced the greatest save of all time but all he’s making anyone talk about is his cringe antics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
