Messi missing that penalty is a disaster.
He is literally the only player playing well in Argentina, it’s dangerous if his moral goes down after this

That penalty shouldn’t have been awarded to Argentina. Poor officiating.
That said, why didn’t Messi use Neymar’s technique as he’s been doing for some time now? Smh.

Instead of making up a ridiculous penalty let’s give Messi the trophy ��. What a joke these refs are and what an amazing save! Argentina is much better and can easily win this without the refs’ help. Poland is disappointing #ARGvsPOL
