@booboo Money is involved. Forget ‘doing the right thing’.
Sorry. Still confused.

another in the next 60sec will put the shits up England and bring out their cynical side.
What were the last 73 minutes then?

@chimoaus said in RWC: England v Argentina (Pool C):
I think Argentina checked out once the card was issued. Worst game of the WC I have seen so far.
Scotland v Samoa?

glimmer?
If Lawes had been in the bin or in the stands, yes.
-
Bit of a dud game in the end.
Argentina have sadly regressed since 2015 rather than kicking on.
-
Still more kicks by England with quality ball. I don't get that they are a threat, sorry.
-
@Chester-Draws doing just enough to win - circa ABs 2015?

Maybe they have some powder of their own? I don't trust that sneaky fucker Jones!

Its been a gradual lack of interest - they certainly haven't threatened much.
They've been the disappointment of the RWC for me. I thought they'd stich up France and give England a run.
Me too. There was an Argentinian fan on here for a while really talking them up, had me hoping they'd knock over England and/or France but they've been a real dud. Way worse than previous RWCs.
Too many Friendlies between World Cups

@booboo Yes, I agree, Lavinini should pay the sanction. Hit him in the pocket. But not the people paying for it. Do you see the distinction?
I do. And think you're wrong.
Why should a thug have free reign on the field?
It's sport. As I have said sport is random.
Players make mistakes. And know there are consequences.
Way hey. Argies score. But still need 3 tries to win
Another problem with "hitting the player in the pocket" is that some players have much bigger pockets than others. Some players will feel a fine more than others, so the deterrent effect won't be the same for all players.
-
And when they don't kick, they score.

So you think Lavinini knowingly targeted Farrells head knowing the outcome?
I still think there is a difference between intentional foul play like eye gouging and a player making a poor judgement in the tackle.
You say players make mistakes, I agree these red cards are mistakes and that is the big issue, should a players mistake decide the outcome of the game?

Yes.
Just as a poor intercept pass does.
That's how sport works.

I was being told just yesterday they've improved! So confusing...
-
C'mon England. One try and I take a massive lead in the work tipping comp.
-
The pro-England ITV commentary is hilarious.
Going all ga ga over England's pedestrian win over a 14-man Argentinian team who have been on the skids for a couple of seasons.
9 wins in 45 matches since last WC

@MiketheSnow let’s hope the frogs put them in their place!
