Better not be a pen for this.

As soft as it gets. Don't think that gets given for any other player.

Why is the ref being asked to look at this

That is the biggest joke ever

The fix is in.

What a great save and totally deserved.

Shocking decision.

Corrupt as you get.

That decision is corrupt.

No other player gets that decision.

That’s a farce decision

The Messi factor there. Good save!!

Justice as that was never a pen

Justice

Probably justice done in fairness. It wasn't a bad penalty from Messi, excellent save. I had a feeling it wouldn't go in.

Only it's Messi it no peno. Good save

If goalkeepers are finally going to get called on their inability to control themselves and fly into players I'm all for it.

Ridiculous penalty decision and right outcome

Wouldn't be surprised if Messi gets another penalty.

Never cheered a penalty miss as much in my life as a neutral.

Farcical decision to begin with

Mexico pounding away to no avail in the other game. Why aren't they starting Jimenez, none of these other jokers look capable of scoring...

Ronaldo yes, horrible individual. Messi no. It was nice of him to let the keeper save the penalty. 😉

Bench their world class striker and talisman who got a goal and assist in the last game? How about give him some service instead...

Saudi Arabia with a good chance missed right at the end of their half.

That was a shocking penalty to give. If that sets a precedent, there's going to be ten penalties a game.

Messi is the best player of his generation but his attitude stinks. He's far more introverted than Ronaldo so he doesn't draw as much attention to himself but he can be equally obnoxious. He has an air of Roy Keane about him: a hunger to win and the talent to match it but throws his toys out of the pram when things don't go his way. His commitment to Argentina at times should be questioned and he certainly though he was bigger than Barca. I admire his ability and he's great to watch but he's a right prat.

The people who say Argentina should win because Messi 'deserves' it also get on my tits. He'll deserve it if he contributes to them winning it but gifting it to him just because of who he is is bollocks.

Weren't there people questioning him being Player of the Tournament in 2014 and that he was given it mostly because of who he was? Though I might be remembering that wrong.

Ha, that was a lot to get out but hearing that he hat put the ball on the spot before they'd even gone to VAR is just another sign of him being a twat.
