    You’re dreaming. That’s the kind of thing that turns people off soccer. He was barely touched.

    Really? You've not watched much of the game then have you? Every professional would have gone down at that point from any nation. Lord Harry Kane is a master of it.

    Just because they would all do it doesn't mean that it doesn't turn people off the game. Sport shouldn't be about play acting.

      I don't think the comment was directed at existing fans. More the detractors of the game that can't be bothered because of the corruption and histrionics.
      No, they won't care one little bit.

        Yes and you wouldn't bet against them now beating Argentina and playing France again in the final. Their mentality and spirit really is quite something else.

            That was a pen all day - when someone chops back and you leave your foot there.

            Fantastic free kick routine to pull off in the last chance saloon.

            Given who the Dutch had on the field they should have carried on lumping it forward and pinned Argentina back - deserved to lose before pens given the chances that Argentina had.

            Yes, really odd the way that, having taken control of the match by lumping it forward to their big units, the Dutch completely shelved that tactic during extra time.

            Credit to the Dutch for their late comeback, but Argies deservedly won - much better throughout the match, save for the last 10 mins or so of normal time where they completely lost their heads.

              How can you say that when the game was decided by penalty kicks, nothing more nothing less.

                  Netherlands hit back, should be 1-1 now. That penalty should never have been given.

                  Saw it briefly on highlights. Didn't even touch him? Was it even in the area?

                        Morocco lead Portugal 1-0 in injury time. Ronaldo bottles a great chance. Morocco down to 10 men.

                              Morocco have only conceded 1 goal all tournament - and that was to Canada (which was an own goal anyway).

                                  Morocco keep on making history against the odds, now the first African nation to make the SFs.

                                        The fix is in

                                        Definitely foul against Kane

                                        Should have been a penalty

                                          Feels like France won't need half as many chances as to score a second goal.
