    1. I think the general public; or atleast the ones around me ; are ALL rooting for Spain to win because of the bullshit that is Argentina’s playstyle.

      Edit*** Im so happy Spain won!!!!!!! 🇪🇸

    2. As someone who doesn’t usually watch football, yes.

      And maybe there are nuances I don’t understand for why they’re not called on them, but the more they don’t seem to be, the more it annoys me.

      Battery is a crime best committed with a billion people watching, apparently.

      It’s how I’ve described their play to non footy people.

      Argentina go out and kick anything that moves. They take the “you’re not going to call it every time” approach.

      To me it’s the acting without fair play. Trying to get away with the worst behavior knowing full well they have committed the foul. It’s without honor so it’s impossible to root for them.

    6. I had no dog in this fight as I’m not a soccer person, but sitting here watching, I have suddenly become *very invested* in Spain winning.

    7. Overly physical, rolling around claiming fouls, while simultaneously flagrantly committing handballs and other dangerous fouls. I know the refs are also to blame for not calling them out on it, but Argentina play so dirty that I cannot watch them without getting mad.

      Argentina has got away with it so far so why would they change it up now

      I saw one Argentine player straight up bear-hug another player to stop him kicking the ball back in so yeah.

      They play dirty yet complain incessantly, which is why nobody except themselves and Infantino is rooting for them right now.

    11. Thankfully Karma made it right in the end! Spain were so much stronger. Also disgusting behaviour from Argentina again after the whistle blown.

    12. I just honestly really love Spain’s style of play and I’m happy they won with it

      Honestly I was I only rooting for Messi. I am not even that heartbroken for Argentina because of how dickish they played. Spain definitely was the better team as well.

      They did it in the Rugby too on the weekend against England. Throwing cheap punches, hand bags with England when they scored a try and going after the referee when thats a huge no-no in rugby

      They are dirty, cheating rotters. they cheat every chance they get that’s why they had a player sent off. one yellow for diving. One yellow for legit foul. Shows you how they cheat in all aspects of the game

      Evening after the game ended, these assholes were fighting in the pitch. Disgusting

    17. Night and day difference between this match and yesterday’s. The third place match seemed to be glowing with general camaraderie from both teams towards one another and we got an excellent, exciting match for it. This game, one of the teams was actively hostile and looking to maximise legal harm and the match was such a snore for it.

      We could also talk about how Messi is the captain of 2 teams that have behavioral issues…

      For the Messi hard-ons, I’m not saying he isn’t one of the best to ever do the sport. I do question whether he can actually fulfill the role of a captain.
