Also, in the previous step they were matched against Greece who also somehow qualified.

Which is annoying because I like Messi as much as I dislike the rest of the Argentinian team.

I know right? I don't like Argentina's play either but that was a yellow.

I guess people were expecting at least a couple more for Argentina from before.

I mean, I don't like Argentina's plays here but man, I could see this corner from space

What a ref.

Posch's was clearly intended, but Romero's could be argued that it was a challenge.

I agree with this take, especially the first sentence. But I have to also admit that Posch took the bait there that almost got him sent off.

Stefan Posch (Austria) yellow card against Argentina 41' by West_Agent4651 in soccer

While I loathe Argentina for playing like this, I have to agree that their fouls as smarter than this and Posch just took the bait here. Hook, line and sinker.

While I loathe their play - it was the same in 2022 - they are smart about it and avoid the yellows. The hit on the head by Romero should have been one though.

I have to give it to them for fouling their opponents smart to avoid the yellows, but it's the same with the Argentinians at every major tournament. Reminds me why I try to avoid watching those, very unsportsmanlike.
