I'd say getting a yellow for taking your shirt off is a ridiculous rule in the first place. I've thought it should've been scrapped from the moment it was introduced.

But sending off a player for scoring a match winning goal is even more ridiculous.

What the hell are you talking about? Hep C? Mods is this some weird racism? And I'm not angry I am rooting for asian and African teams. Why are you being weird?

OMG that chance for Australia in the last minute.

And Messi running past 5-6 Australian players and almost scoring again was fun. Momentarily he seems to be having fun this second half and playing the way he wants. But not much positive to say about the rest of the team and Argentina overall.
Sloppy mistakes from both teams this game, and Martinez got three good-great chances from Messi in the last 10 minutes, one in particular, but missed the goal completely that time, and hit the goalie the other times.

Argentina spent 80+ minutes not really wanting to take any chances. No runs through the defense to recieve a well timed through-ball pass.
They were like this against Mexico as well.
It's as if they want to pass their way into a goal, but they are not 2011 Barcelona.

I want Argentina to go all the way, but if they spend the vast majority of the matches not taking any risks, then this is not going to work.
Every one of their goals in the Mexico match and this one have come from a moment of individual brilliance, mainly from Messi.

They are looking more like 2014 Argentina that were largely dependant on one or two players, than the collective team that won Copa America together, and continued to play well leading up to this World Cup. 
I have still not seen much of that team in this tournament.

Messi did well in his 1000th game.

Ok, this is the part where I take this back. Like, way back. Lautaro has been a horror show, hopefully that's the last we see of him at this world cup. That, and moving Messi to a false 9 is working well, even against Poland when he wasn't at his absolute best, never mind when he plays like today.

Never mind Messi doing it, did you catch a glimpse of the Aussie Maradona there?

Haha, yeah I did. That was scary.

France probably winning tomorrow but I hope Senegal bears engerland

Really disappointed that Japan didn't make it through yesterday. Love a good underdog story. Brazil looks scary.

I'm so sad all of Asia is out. I hope Morocco somehow beats Spain. They are my backup surprise dark horse team. I am sick and tired of Europeans or south Americans always winning. Hopefully Morocco goes far. And hopefully next time, Asia will win
