Roy Keane couldn't resist having a dig at Gary Neville and Ian Wright as England crashed out of the World Cup.
Lionel Messi proved the difference once again for Argentina as the defending champions booked their spot in Sunday's final against Spain.
Anthony Gordon had given Thomas Tuchel's side the lead, but late goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez dramatically turned England's fortunes on their head.
However, Republic of Ireland legend Keane took the opportunity to wind up his colleagues as the Inter Milan striker netted.
Watching alongside former Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville and ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright on the Stick To Football World Cup Watch Party, he said: "I said he was going to score, didn't I say he was going to score?" reports the Irish Mirror.
"Martinez was going to score with the header, didn't I say? It's all down the right-hand side [to Messi]. What a game. I said Martinez would score, what an option he is off the bench."
A dejected Ian Wright admitted Keane had called it earlier: "You had 2-1 Argentina.."
With a knowing grin, Keane responded: "Who had 2-1 Argentina? Me?".
Keane then focused on a disheartened Neville: "Give credit where it's due - it's his [Messi's] weaker foot. We are watching greatness here, I am telling you. We are watching greatness, appreciate it, seriously."
