God dammit. Even when I want them to win Argentina manages to anger me 🤣

And back to boring

And back to boring

Everyone has been booked once at this point

Punishment for Double yellows between games are canceled for the finals, yes?

Terrible ref btw

Of course, it's the Spanish representative. 

Not that the French, Turpin, is really better, if that's of any consolation.

After the quarter finals, yes.

I think it gets reset after the QF, yes, with the aim of preventing players from missing the final due to bookings.

Thanks, I wasn't sure.

But if you get a red you are out I think

Yeah, you always miss the game on a red, it's only for the yellow cards.

Oh man - I forgot my brother, his family, and my mother are all in Brazil right now - so of course they were all watching the game with all my brother's in-laws.

That would be quite the environment to watch a game - too bad the overall result.

How can you forget your mother is in Brazil 😁

Ugh. Penalties again.  Anyway to get rid of these? Especially the final. 30 minute Silver goal and then suden death no clock. 

[Duque de Bragança]

Pretty short penalty sessions so far.

They experimented with silver/golden goals in the 1990s and it didn't really work out. Teams were even more terrified of conceding.

Penalties are always great drama (even if I'm still hurting for the last ones  )
