It was a second yellow, and IMHO, it was deserved. Also, if Fernandez didn’t get one, Paredes would have at some point. Paredes choked Garcia after the game was finished. He shouldn’t play another game. If you consider that sportsmanship, then you and I will have to agree to disagree.

The best team in this Cup actually became the winners.

I’m not a fan of Spain’s politics, but I know how to separate a game from politics. A lot of people here can’t do that.

Argentina plays dirty.
The referees favor Argentina because FIFA president Gianni Infantino likes Messi.
The Argie's behavior during and especially after this match was low class. They are sore losers.

Congratulations to Spain!

Argentina played like thugs throughout, which is why 99% of non-Argentineans were for Spain.
