Memecchi: Argentina played so dirty it was embarrassing to see, yesterday's was victory for football honestly, and the biggest proof you can get that you don't need a ton of stars to win a world cup, just a good plan and teamwork (of course talent does help)
But the spanish selection is pretty scary, I can see them winning again in 2030 if the youngest continue to grow and Rodri, Fabian etc are capable of one last fight
Not defending either side but neither side was innocent regarding dirty plays.
Early 30-40 minutes into the game, I saw Spain player run jab Messi in the back spine with their elbow.
The man is 39 years old, and fragile, leave him alone :(
This was also before the clusters of penalties from Argentina and their tit-for-tat that I had witnessed.
Yes, Argentina player subsequently hit that guy in return in the back.
And later, a Spanish player using culturally inappropriate insults when talking with Messi.
The Spirit of Football everyone haha.
