Face clutching should immediately be a red card offence

[broughie]

@NTA yeah, I agree. There's a lot of theatrics and the euros and south Americans have perfected it. You can include Central America in that too. It's so distasteful to watch but I don't know how they could get rid of it because it have to be video review.

[broughie]

@NTA maybe the ref could issue a pink card and the video review booth could review. Game goes on and if they deem it worthy of a yellow they notify the ref.

[NTA]

@broughie brown card. Due to it being shit

[broughie]

@NTA I was thinking pink because they are being pussies

[NTA]

@broughie insult to pussies

[NTA]

Ah well. Half a chance away from penalties.

Soccer goes to sleep again in Australia for a few years.

Finished 2-1.

That was a decent effort. Messi was the star. Don’t think Argentina are taking home the trophy. Will this be a kiss of death comment…?

I agree that I don't think they are good enough. So I negated your kiss of death comment.

@broughie knowing fuck all about the strategy or formations: at times it seemed the Aussies were making easy inroads. Not sure Argentina's defence is up to it against better attacking teams

[Cyclops]

I don't think there's a clear favourite at the moment, everyone has had a turn at looking a bit rocky. Still waiting for a team to really find their groove and get going. I reckon playing a big quarter final might be the thing that kick starts a team, so a Netherlands Argentina qf could well be the exact medicine the winner needs to get rolling.
