Argies asking for hand ball when it clearly hit VVD’s head.

jedi_master

Ref literally making free kicks up here out of thin air.

jedi_master

The Dutch just need to get to pens now.

Ref is trying to give the game to Messi.

jedi_master

Isn’t Martinez a PL player? Hasn’t Otimendi played in the PL? Is the GK a PL player? Where wout is concerned, a lot of fans who were wrong about him not being good, are just too stubborn to admit they were wrong. Can’t speak for others, but yeah I’ll say I was wrong about him. Never too stubborn to...

To be fair, I think it took the majority of us about 45 minutes to see that hitting high balls at him, just wasn’t his game.

Was a strange replacement for Wood in the circumstances, without altering our style to accommodate the swap…

They couldn’t have been more different.

If there was any chance, I think that ship just sailed.

If that’s the case, the silver lining is that we can probably get our full outlay back now there or thereabouts…

jedi_master

Alan Shearer has been saying the same "lump it up to big lad.." And then we see Wout receive it on the ground, swivel and put it past the keeper. Because Shearer probably thinks what Dyche and the majority of Burnley fans did (he’s 6’6, smack it at him and he’ll do well in the air etc). Clear that’...

jedi_master

That free kick was amazing. It reminded me of Cook to Glen away at Coventry in 2001. Different, but the same amount of sheer cheek.

To do that in the 110th minute of a World Cup quarter final is incredible.

jedi_master

I’m sticking twenty on Wout getting the hat trick.

A sentence I never thought I’d write on here. I take it all back.

jedi_master

WEGHORSTTTTTTTTTTTT

jedi_master

Free kick - has to score, last kick….

jedi_master

Get the impression the neutral media and officials think the world wants to see Messi win this cup.

jedi_master

Weghorst holding it up really well there and giving them a platform.

Argentina are a disgusting football team. When they have so much talent to resort to what they do tarnishs them

What they’ve always done. The players change but the petulance, diving and aggression never leaves.

jedi_master

Ten mins added time again - they bloody love it in Qatar.

Referee is a Messi fan boy clearly, doesn't even book him for the handball.

He’s absolutely in awe of him isn’t he. Clear booking for handball earlier, pats him on the back instead. Anyone dares to tackle him, instant free kick and booking.

He’s a fabulous player, doesn’t need this assistance.

Someone’s gonna go here.

How come he could never score a goal like that for us?

Are you Connor Roberts?

GREAT GOAL WEGHORST!

Emiliano Martinez is one of those really irritating, unlikeable footballers.

Can’t remember the match but his time wasting against us in one game particularly was Rotherham-level.

Here comes Wout - let’s hope he nuts him.

Done and dusted

Dutch are looking pretty average themselves. Messi is the difference between the two teams.

I’d fancy us against either of these (and Croatia for that matter). Not to get ahead of ourselves obviously…

They’re a one man team - but what a one man.

jedi_master

Two deliberate handballs so far in this game from Argentina…leopards never change their spots!

jedi_master

Weghorst booked whilst on the bench haha!

jedi_master

I truly think Twine will make such a difference. We win a ton of well placed free kicks and do naff all with them. You look at his goals last season and just think the joy he could have. Really hope the lad is fully fit and gets the chance - the spaces we make suit a player who fancies a long ranger...

jedi_master

It’s all we need in January isn’t it really.

Only other call might be another winger/attacking midfielder on loan should Tella get recalled (though Darko and Twine might fill that gap anyway - think we’d maybe miss Tella’s pace).

jedi_master

Are they really skint? If the new takeover goes through, the owner said there isn’t a need to be a seller in January. He also bid 25m for the stadium and is apparently wiping off the current debt. Suggests he has some funds and might not need to sell (at least not on the cheap anyway). I was checki...

jedi_master

They’re brassic and he has 18 months left. This is their last opportunity for top dollar. Player will push for it (didn’t rule anything out in that interview). I reckon the only stumbling block for Burnley could be PL competition but I bet he moves this January.

jedi_master

Good backup for Brownhill.

Vitinho———-THB———-Beyer———Maatsen
——————Cork——————-Cullen
—Benson————-Brownhill———-Tella

BPF, Taylor, Bastien, Twine, Gudmundsson, Churlinov, Rodriguez

Barnes shirt to lose after Blackburn, for me.

I hope to see Twine from the bench!

jedi_master

Let this rumble on till February 1st, with them desperate for cash and us able to sign O'Hare and Gyokeres for a combined £15m or so (heavily incentivised on promotion clauses).

Then let them get sorted out to avoid any long-term issues to their club. See, I am harsh, but I am fair.

jedi_master

If we signed Gyokeres you may as well put a C next to our name as it would guarantee we win it. I suppose it’s that thinking that means it’s a no brainer at £15m for Pace. It would be almost daft to not do this deal, and despite what Coventry fans might dream as they cry at night, the player would b...

jedi_master

Young lad on loan with us and a bit physically weak at the time - but what an unbelievable career he ended up having at Cardiff. Terrible what happened to him.

jedi_master

If he gets fined, he should do a whip round of Burnley fans as it was absolutely fantastic. Well worth whatever is coming.

jedi_master

Spot on Taffy, I wouldn't award it to GB even if there is a bribe. We may have invented the game, but we also gave the world football hooliganism. I think football hooliganism (which is nebulous and overstated nowadays anyway - sure, it happens, but it's the rare exception rather than common place ...

jedi_master

Very good performance. Patient first half, destroyed them in the second. Foden surely has to keep his place? Yes absolutely, Foden and Rashford need to start every game. Sterling has been off it this season and just doesn’t offer enough anymore consistently in my opinion. Mount a tidy player but ag...

Wilson looks really sharp up front

I just said the same. Lead the line excellently in his time on the pitch.

jedi_master

Pathetic lack of ambition from them all tournament. Awful in every game.

Yes, they’re crap (compared to us), but that squad is definitely better than Iran and not far off USA on paper. Majority of its first eleven play in the Premier League or have done. Shocking.

jedi_master

Excellent from Rashford, great ball from Phillips. Brilliant.

jedi_master

If Foden is ever on the bench again I’ll lose my mind. A joke for him to ever be considered anything but a certain starter. Rashford had a poor first half, but he’s penetrative and definitely adds something to this team. I’d be tempted to keep it as this all over against Senegal.

jedi_master

The Welsh putting every man behind the ball when needing to win (now by four) in what will probably be their last ever World Cup game (no replacements coming through for Bale and Ramsey) is pretty awful from Page. I guess his plan is to shithouse a set piece goal 1-0, but in the circumstances would ...

jedi_master

He looked really good in the cup a year or two back against Millwall, and he seriously impressed me in the summer in the friendly at Shrewsbury. I realise that the quality of those sides doesn’t speak volumes for his potential perhaps, but he is a really physically impressive looking player. I feel ...

Personally find comments like “the lesser spotted Twine” poor.

No offence intended?! I just think his surname sounds like a bird!

jedi_master

The lesser spotted Twine to make an appearance?! What a boost that would be (Churlinov and Westwood hopefully too).

jedi_master won't remember this but we've played Chesterfield before in the 3rd Round winning the game 7-0, before going on to win 9-0 in the 4th Round. A repeat would be just fine.

A repeat of that would make for a very happy afternoon with the Wife’s family

jedi_master

I’m hoping Foden comes on for Mount and changes this game, showing Southgate exactly why it’s insane he doesn’t start every game. I appreciate he’s had a few quiet England games but you have to persevere with him - he’s one of the greatest young attacking midfielders in world football.

jedi_master

Midfield and full backs spending the entire game facing their own goal. Nobody taking it on the turn. Harsh to pick out one player when all are offering little bit Mount is utterly anonymous.
