Completely lost control of the game. Nowhere near a red. Just done that to even things up. He did get Messi's dive right though.

So, that red was totally a retaliatory red for the one he showed to Diaz. What an awful way to officiate a Final.

Love that looked like the right call but on replay was definitely not a red

My favorite part was that he gave the guy a yellow, then about 15-20 seconds later realized that was the second yellow and started fumbling around for the red.

when you're giving out so many cards it's hard to remember who's got one and who doesn't!

Next time you complain about English and European refs, just remember this tournament.

I thought Lamela looked really good every time he was subbed on this tournament. Martino kept starting others over him though and even brought Kranevitter on when Argentina desperately needed that bit of end product to open up Chile late. Big mistake.
Aguero was terrible all tournament long, so you can understand why Higuain started over him.

Argentina need a new manager before the next World Cup. Sampaoli would've been perfect, but he went to Sevilla.

Lets hope it's not Pochettino.

Aguero and Higuain have it so easy, no matter how poorly they always play it's Messi who gets the blame. People can point to the quality of Argentina's squad but he gets no help whatsoever from the other big name players.

So sad. I never cared so much about the Copa America, but I wanted Messi to win something with the national team so bad.
