Topic: Spain 1-0 Argentina FT
101. Author: ipswichpar Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 10:40 SamRockPar, Mon 20 Jul 10:31 I think some are being wetwipes regarding Argentina. Give me that passion any day over handshakes and bottom kissing. Trying a wee bit too hard! Reply

103. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 10:55 I’m pleased Spain won. They play football in its most pure format. Nobody who loves football could condone the antics of the Argentinians. It’s a shame because they do possess some excellent players such as Messi, Alvarez, Martinez and Romero. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply
104. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 11:29 Take Messi out of that team and it`s only above average. By the way I think Messi should have got the golden ball. Other than the final he made telling contributions, sometimes amazing ones, in every game. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply

And Manchester United. And Milan. And Ajax and Bayern told them where to stick the Intercontinental Cup. 🙄 Not your average Sunday League player. Reply
107. Author: neilholland999 Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 12:57 I wholeheartedly agree that Spain deserved to win the match, but lets not forget that Spain are cheating b@$tards too - the amount of playacting and diving etc they got away with throughout the tournament is ridiculous. Reply

Check out 1966 World Cup 1/4 final - Antonio Rattin, Argentina captain. The starting point for the introduction of red and yellow cards - thanks to English referee Ken Aston having a moment of inspiration waiting for traffic lights to change.

I’m very surprised Messi didn’t get the golden ball award. It would have been a fitting send off for perhaps the GOAT? Only Diego could challenge him for that It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply

Only Diego could challenge him for that Thats just pandering to the media and such. Like participation awards and medals for 3rd place play offs. Golden Ball should go to a player from the winning team. He didn’t even show up in the biggest game of the tournament. Reply
111. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 14:12 8 goals and 4 assists meant a very good personal tournament for him As for not showing up in the final, hard to when greedy Spain kept the ball most of the time.

112. Author: parathletic Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 14:42 If you are going by this tournament alone up until the final I think Mac Allister and Fernandez were Argentina`s best players with their tremendous work-rate allowing Messi to walk about. They did have a pretty good draw with Algeria, Jordan, Cape Verde and Egypt too. I had a feeling the current version of Messi might struggle(relatively speaking of course) against the really top teams and he didn`t do a great deal against Switzerland, England or Spain. He can still produce something out of the blue but he spent about 70% of the tournament walking. I thought Rodri was a deserving winner of the player of the tournament, even if I don`t have a great deal of time for him. Thought he was outstanding against the French in particular. Reply
113. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 15:42 Messis isn`t the force he was in his prime of course but I doubt they would have made the final without him. The problem they`ll have is replacing him. Reply

Apparently he got a red card for his full-time antics. ^^^ A Red Card is meant to be dished out for a footballing offence. This was a criminal act. 🤔 The Spanish goal that was ruled out should have stood. 🤔 Messi making a pass and then purposely running + crashing into the Spanish player to win a free kick for himself when it should have been awarded to Spain 🤔 What`s the point of VAR if these antics are going to be allowed? Argentina left a bad taste after a decent world cup. The footballing world needs to take action against thuggery The players already wear flimsy ballet shoes 🩰, why not complete the kit with a tutu?

116. Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 17:57 The final was the first game I have watched and teary teary me that would get football stopped Never mind tho .. after Fifa made over 5 billion they are selling off the cup final turf 17 cm x 17 cm in a perspex box for £325 a time .. Mmmm think I will order enough to returf my lawn We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply
117. Author: DBP Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 18:37 Don’t think you can single out Argentina for players trying to ‘win’ free kicks - every single team in the world does that, and there were plenty examples on show right across this World Cup Think we all agree final was a one sided anti climax Credit to Spain for being absolutely dominant on the day, but equally… they were basically unable to break Argentina down and translate all that possession into goals Reply
118. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 18:51 Its a poor spectacle when you only have one team trying to win it in 90 minutes. At the end of the day you want to win it on merit, so the best team came out on top. G Wardrope Reply
119. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 21:02 Argentina were a disgrace to football. I had them to win the World Cup @9/1, but after watching their disgusting tactics yesterday, I was glad that Spain won. Reply
120. Author: par-ticular Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 23:07 This is nothing new for Argentina, from 1966 (Ramsay animal statement), Celtic (as previously stated) 1978 final kept the Dutch team waiting 10mins before they appeared, they seem to revel in thuggery, without being penalised. The flag/ banner against England. The scenes at the end of the showcase final were just incredible! League teams in the past have been banned from competitions for similar to yesterday’s battles. Kick them out/ ban them for a World Cup. Should happen but it won’t, a fine which they will pay from their winnings! Rant over, back to following Pars🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Reply
