'Disgraceful decision': Rio Ferdinand leads SCATHING criticism of Argentina's dubious penalty claiming 'that isn't what VAR is for'... as viewers claim Lionel Messi's subsequent miss is justice for Poland in Group C clash

Argentina were awarded a dubious penalty after minimal contact from Wojciech Szczesny on Lionel Messi in the first half of Argentina's Group C clash with Poland.

Messi then missed the all-important spot kick, with the former Arsenal goalkeeper saving his second penalty in as many games and continuing his country's incredible record in the World Cup.

Polish goalkeepers have now saved four of their last six penalties at the World Cup, with Szczesny having saved two of those.
