I hope chile wins and that little cunt Messi goes back to no paying taxes.

Lol this salt.

Messi flops way less than anyone else. Even for a dude that's 5'8.

 

[Corronchilejano]

Diaz and the ref. He should be aware that they will be trying things to get him off and ref for giving him a second yellow. A foul would suffice

But there was no foul. No one has any duty to move away from a player running towards him.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Not saying it was a yellow but he knew exactly what he was doing there. He intentionally body checked him. Ref should have warned him though.

It's not the defensive player's responsibility to move out of the way of the attacking player. This is true in the rules of all sports that I'm aware of.

This doesn't really matter much when Messi clearly ran straight into him on purpose to draw the foul.

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

Killing the game before it even began, this is the kind of game were referees have to keep stock of who they give yellows and make sure that they don't hand out yellows unnecessarily. That was a harsh yellow but what makes it a bad referee decision is to hand out the yellow to someone already on a yellow card thereby singlehandedly killing one teams chance at winning the competition. Though I guess it will be pretty funny if Chile held on and won on penalties, that would be delicious karma.

 

[Oveja Negra]

It's infuriating after that nasty fault against Sánchez at the beginning. Fuck this shit.

 

[Megabyte117]

Welp, enjoy your fake ass cup Argentineans lol

Lol nacl. I love how this tourney is legit for fans until it isn't (read: they lose).

 

[Envelope]

Lol this salt.

he still has his fair share of dives

and that was one of them

All up to ref's perspective. Some call it a body check.

 

[Line_HTX]

Ref, what the fuck are you doing getting in their faces?

Fucking old Brazilian hag.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Ref's lost the plot a bit

 

[Kandinsky]

Lol nacl. I love how this tourney is legit for fans until it isn't (read: they lose).

Lol of course.

 

[moai]

The foul by mercado on sanchez was harder than both yellows showed to diaz.

 

[Kurt Angle]

messy telling the ref he will give him a cut of his tax fraud money

 

[Toxi]

Harsh yellow.

 

[73V3N]

You know you are right when someone mentions "salt" in their post

 

[Corronchilejano]

Lol nacl. I love how this tourney is legit for fans until it isn't (read: they lose).

No one can say this tournament has been legit for some time. Peru won with a handgoal for chrissackes.

All up to ref's perspective. Some call it a body check.

You can't be body checking anyone while standing still. I've never seen a yellow like that before.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Ref is clueless in this one. Congrats Argentina.

 

[Envelope]

what the fuck is this ref doing lmao

 

[Boney]

How many cards in 30 minutes?

Lol this ref

 

[Kandinsky]

This ref likes to be the center of attention

 

[bomb]

Chile acting like thugs

 

[Sabucin]

This will be a clusterfuck. That fucking referee wants to be famous.

 

[Clydefrog]

Masch 2nd yellow now inevitable.

 

[Lender]

Not the greatest ref...

 

[NaM]

Chile acting like thugs

What did you expect?

 

[Line_HTX]

Lol nacl. I love how this tourney is legit for fans until it isn't (read: they lose).

OK.

 

[Skellig Gra]

We need to bring in European refs for these tourneys. Just too many mistakes.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This ref is going to try to give everyone on both teams a yellow card to make them play nicer I guess

 

[Envelope]

this ref is garbage

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This ref is losing it. What a way to ruin your biggest moment in a career.

 

[NeOak]

Chile acting like thugs

Did you forget what happened versus
Colombia?

Now they are getting called.

 

[Perro]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

 

[Lender]

They're a little preoccupied atm.

There is a diffrence between standing your ground an intentionally blocking a player by moving across his line and turning your back like a wall at pace. The ref had to make the call. But either way not a yellow.

 

[73V3N]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

Its 11v10 already

 

[Skellig Gra]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

Well it's already 10v11 so you are definitely right.

 

[Envelope]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

did you miss the part where it's already 11v10 thanks to the garbage ref and a diving Messi?

 

[NeOak]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

Calling 9v9

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Not the kind of fun I wanted but I'll take this ref's hijinks. At the very least, the reactions of fans are amusing.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Somehow my commentators are starting to talk about how bad a singer pitbull is lol. Nothing to do with this match.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

This won't end 11v11. Can't wait for the fukkery.

Well it's alread 11v10. Will be interesting to see if it gets down to 9.

 

[bomb]

a lot of fouls in this game. hard for the ref to not get involved.

 

[Line_HTX]

OK, motherfucking Messi dove there.

So obvious.

 

[Corronchilejano]

Calling 9v9

8v8, the bare minimum.

The great equalizer is coming,

 

[Clydefrog]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

 

[swx]

top lel yellow for messi

 

[Chris R]

Simulation should be straight reds, get that shit out of the game.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

and he got the card for the dive. good.

 

[Lima]

Great ref

 

[Ninja Scooter]

this fuckin' ref is trying to get an endorsement deal lol
