Roy Keane and Graeme Souness engaged in a fiery exchange during ITV's coverage of Argentina's World Cup match against Saudi Arabia, disagreeing over a controversial penalty awarded to Argentina. The incident occurred in the first half when Lionel Messi converted the spot-kick after a tug on Cristian Romero in the box.
Presenter Laura Woods asked the two pundits to analyse the decision at half-time. Keane argued it was not a penalty, stating it would encourage diving. Souness countered that the defender was not watching the ball and only focused on the Argentinian player, making it a clear penalty under the laws of the game.
The debate escalated as Keane repeatedly dismissed Souness's points. Souness eventually snapped, telling Keane he had repeated his opinion '10 times' and demanded to 'let someone else speak'. The exchange highlighted the combative dynamic between the two outspoken pundits, known for their strong opinions.
Despite the tension, the pair eventually calmed down, but the moment added to the entertainment of the broadcast. With more World Cup games ahead, viewers can expect further fireworks from the duo in the studio.
