I freaking HATE when teams do that pull everyone back BS. You got ahead, and were clearly dominating control of the ball by attacking. Keep it up for 90 minutes

Pulisic is like Neymar, somebody needs to make them a few more sammiches each day.

A shock decision giving a penalty to the argies bur Szczezny SAVES the hit from Messi. Poland under huge attack now with Szczezny saving many.

Of course it wasn't a penalty, the goalie barely touched the argie but kudos to Szczesny for reading Messi's mind.

szczezny playing out of his mind a la tim howard in '14!

hate the ticky-tack penalty call. how's a goalie supposed to play a high ball when the shooter is playing it off his head?!?! szczezny didnt swing his arm and chop at messi...he went straight up to deflect.

It was only a matter of time... Maybe Poland will start playing offence now, instead of defense.

2-0 and Poland can ONLY go defence and hang on to second in group b/c of lack of yellow cards as Messi misses another open goal and Alvarez blows an open goal.

The heat and an indifferent ref make it tough for the Poles.If they can hang on for 10-15 minutes they'll survive in the group.

i really dont get the 'yellow card" tiebreaker! so dumb.

stats that would be better than fewer yellow cards:

1. Goals For
2. Shots on Goal
3. Time of Possession in the Offensive End

Any / all of those would promote teams continuing to be aggressive offensively rather than parking the bus strategy that we all loathe.

I disagree, just like added on penalty time and points in F1 with misdemeanours on track such as bad driving it counts towards a fairer clean game.
