    Both going for it, I wouldn't call a foul either way.

    Never a foul by Higuain but also never a foul by Neuer. Comparing it to Schumacher's challenge is ridiculous.

    Refs should have the option of taking the big screen replay into account.

    He's probably not watching. Sure he's still pretty much on a coma.

    Echoes of Battiston & Schumacher from France v Germany in '82 with that tackle from Neuer on Higuaín

    Lawrenson is a joke of a co commentator and pundit. No idea why is so much in demand for such a long time.

    Not sure how else he's supposed to get the ball there. Never a free out though.

    He couldn't and the fact that he tried made it a reckless challenge. Booking at least

    Problem then is if the big screen producer is biased.

    Would have to have FIFA officials choosing replays.

    If Neuer came for the ball like that on the penalty spot and punched clear nothing would be said. As it is though he got a full head of steam up and Higuain was always going to come off worse.

    If jumping in to a tackle with both feet off the ground is a red, even if you make contact with the ball first, than that should have been a red. The keeper also has a responsibility for the safety of the opposing player.

    I'll never forget the last WC where he was giving out about the amount Polish born players on the German team - this coming from Mark "Born in Preston but played for the Republic of Ireland" Lawrenson

    I think the point of a blitzkrieg is that no-one expects it.

    It's kinda like the Spanish inquisition that way.

    The flow is gone from the game. Lots of fouls and frees. Slowly fizzzling out. It needs a goal to get the excitement back.

    False!

    People were written to attend the Spanish Inquisition (QI fact)

    Right, time to Germany to win this. Argentina look a bit jaded, bit more sloppy in their passing this half, and Aguero doesn't look like he's going to be the difference here.
