    Stolen from Twitter - but it was my own tweet I stole from.

    Everyone: You don't win World Cup games with drop goals any more.

    I said in the France/ABs thread there weren't many replays in play. Not the case in this one.

    Curry red card: well it's warranted under the framework. He had a player landing in front of him and should have paused - didn't lower himself at all. Could have taken half a moment to get lower and cut the guy in half. Didn't. That's that.

    Argentina are so dumb. And I'm only 24 minutes in.

    @Tim not the harshest RC of the past few years, of course it is the harshest so far, being the first, but unlikely the last one we will see at this RWC

    How anyone can think that game was boring is beyond me.

    1 million %

    It’s getting really fucking old that certain posters think that if Meg can’t say ‘razzle dazzle’ 10 times a match then the match is not worth watching

    This was chess of the highest order, which will always frustrate those who can only play & appreciate draughts

    Great description of England from the Guardian:

    “ Their team have turned up for the biggest party in the sport in a work shirt, a sensible pair of shoes and with hours of chat about the best way to navigate around the roadworks on the way back. God, but you don’t want to get stuck in a corner with them. Which was exactly the mistake Argentina made.”

    He might have said boomfa when Curry got his card though ?

    With you Mike, I never took eyes off the game. Mid you I one of those dinosaurs who think one of the beauties of our game is the different ways you can play it'

    65 minutes.

    Ford fluffed a couple of kicks but by fuck everything else he touched was near perfect.

    Argies continue to be stupid.

    That was a painful display from Argentina. Was expecting far more from them which failed to materialise, truly awful.
    England probably couldn't believe their luck.

    Argentina played poor, but a lot of that was England’s fault.

    Calling England lucky us just wrong.

    England go back to being England: points are points. As long as you have more than the other bloke.

    @MajorRage Nah, England were lucky to play against the most clueless tier 1 performance I can remember since Dylan Hartley was begging the ref for advice against Italy.

    @chimoaus Or, alternatively, learn how to tackle.

    One of the arguments in favour of the 20 minute replacement is that an early red penalises the team for the mistake of one player.

    But in the case of England, it's clearly a systematic, recurring, collective problem.

    Somebody needs to check these referees assets... Because it looks like Beaumont definitely organised one of those confiscated Russian oligarchs motor yachts in the south of France for last night‘s performance...
    Seriously though…Makes a complete mockery of the rulebook. One thing being reffed for one team at the breakdown and the complete opposite for the other team. Really feel for argies. Disgusting …

    YC for a complete accident. Even my daughter said so.

    I hope you explained to her that it doesn't need to be deliberate to deserve a red
