Argentina makes it to semi final

Lautaro makes it 3-1 off a counter that was powered by Almada 🤗

Good night baba Ara!

My GOAT nearly made it 3-1; energy no just dey baba body like before Sha to make all those mazy runs past the Swiss defence

Thecassanova:
The keeper stubborn

Them don calm am down

Na wetin fit those kind keepers be that . After jumping like frog anyhow, find better whining score for their hand make dem calm down.

Goal ball jor!

A beautiful worldie from Alvarez makes it 2-1 😎

Kilishihunter:
In this era of VAR you'll think these players will not be unfortunate but they don't

He mostly thinks it's business as usual when u use shout and dive to deceive the match officials.

Kilishihunter:
I'm livid with embolo with the fact that this incident has opened the door for cries of ojoro again despite the fact it has already been applied in a US game. He was already on a yellow and instead of being cautios he was still diving

As in.... The guy's thearitics was just so annoying and unnecessary at that point in the game. Don't even know what he was thinking

Nemesis0147:
this is a new rule,.
The problem here is that the Argentina player was given a yellow....it is only fair if they gave the Swiss player a yellow card too

And na him complain first

GBAM! You Know Ball! 👍

ThierryJay:
It's completely deserved. The thing is critics will not apply objectivity here.

Even Michael Phelps would have been most impressed with Embolo.

You dey mind those ones? They will see it's clearly simulation which deserves yellow card any day any time, but they will resort to "kanipe analysis". You will start hearing "what if it's Argentina"...... "The ref would not have given an argentine player second yellow card ".... And other yeye biased opinion that changes nothing and has no bearing on the match.

He fly pass spiderman sef.
Very mumu player

I don't even know what was going through his head for him to have done that nonsense. He's now crying after it dawned on him he's being sent off.

Skimpledawg:
Na Spiderman

Aswear, the guy was feeling like some super hero there flying anyhow

Red card for Embolo.

Argentina no go escape this conspiracy theory if they eventually win Sha, but that was a deserved yellow card for Embolo being reckless.

See the way this Swiss guy dey fly like superman

Alvarez is just suffering upfront against the physical Swiss CBs and Midfielders. I believe Lauturo is more suited for this kind of game, Scaloni no read the game well Sha.

De Paul finds it hard to do basic things like trapping the ball on first touch and keeps misplacing passes anyhow like some amateur.

I wonder how this team would fare if Messi just do mistake carry injury in the next two matches shouod they qualify here.

Despite being offside, Switzerland still couldn't put the ball behind the net.

AirBere:
ARG play far too narrow. It's making it difficult for them to play to the press at times.

As in, way too narrow; they are not playing expansive football at all. Any serious team with a decent manager can exploit that and cause them big problem.

If they don't improve, any of the big boys in the semis cause them serious pain which they may not recover from to make a comeback like they did vs Egypt.

Thecassanova:
Conspiracy go start soon

When Argentina dey lose or draw we no go hear any conspiracy theory, the moment Argentina grows into the game by leveling or taking the lead ; na so different conspiracy theory go.dey fly around. 😆

ThierryJay:
Lisandro Martinez has been awfully vulnerable this tournament. See how Embolo outmuscled him there to get a one on one with the G.K.

De Paul is another underperformer. If not for Messi tax....

Martinez dey try wella, but De Paul dey GBA seriously; he's just been committing fouls without focusing much on the ball.

Argentina are finding it difficult to play expansive football in this game, I don't know why. Not like the Swiss are all that defensively sef.

Players like Enzo and McAllister really need to step up their midfield game so they can switch play and spread the ball wella. They will need it against teams like England, France or Spain

And so it begins!

Messi assist, McAllister goal 🤩🤩

Oscar Bobb; Very useless player.

For the very first time, this ref mess up with that whistle there abeg. That was not a head injury, he shouldn't have stopped the game especially when the Norwegians didn't foul Pickford there.

Roland17:
Most times na people wen carry agenda for head dey talk some kain things against Saka.

Check am well.

E clear! I know it's obvious he says those things from a place of agenda.

He say na only one cross Saka play for the same match we dey watch

I'm sure if Saka scores sef, he will still find anotyer agenda to water down his contributions.

swiz123:
Aside that one crossing he put in, he has been largely useless. I don’t know why you allow sentiment blind you to that boy’s lack of ability.

You are alone on Ur opinion that Saka is lacks ability.

Ellexy:
Trossard is a good ref, he understands those situations

Yeah, one of the best amongst the the few unbiased refs out there.

The right decision made by the ref after reviewing VAR footage. The Tottenham bat man just tried to sell ghe foul but luckily VAR flagged the transaction

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Norway have themselves to blame for starting Sorloth

Very unwise decision by their manager. This Oscar Bobb na another GBA footballer Sha

When he has a bad game swiz123 will claim Saka is mediocre, but he won't see the various matches he's been instrumental to the team's win both at the club and country level

Saka really tried in the build up to the goal.

Ellexy:
That was completely accidental na, he didn't look at where he was landing

Some refs will only see the foul and not whether it was accidental or not
