It was Spain who won their group, not Portugal mate.

Yeah so they're in the same half of the draw as the runners up of Group G.

Gotcha. Understand now and completely agree that finishing second is by far the most favourable for us.

BBC showing the match in 4K on iPlayer.

Also, if we finish runners up and say Japan win their group, I would expect us to get to the semi-finals at least...

Come on Nigeria. Get a goal and the Argies will crumble.

Mascherano is having a right mare here

Chris_from_Sidcup

Messi has arrived!

1StevieG

Quality finish from a quality player. It was a goal as soon as he was played on.

Red_in_SE8

Quality.

Manicmania

lmao Maradona is speaking in tongues

Callumcafc

Messi turning up at the last minute. Just like against Ecuador.

ForeverAddickted

Least its Messi who scored

Dont regard him as Argentinian... Although that fat fuck can piss off thanking god, was an insult by the BBC to show that

1StevieG

Messi hat trick anyone?

guinnessaddick

With his right!

IdleHans

Let's hope Nigeria piss on their chips now.

Chris_from_Sidcup

Brilliant control and first touch from Messi.

Still don't see how they're leaving out Lo Celso and Dybala though. And Perez starting after he was fucking dreadful in the last game.

Manicmania

Come on Croatia let Iceland get 3 and knock the argies out anyway

philcafc

Class from Messi

ForeverAddickted

Want Iceland to go through anyway

stackitsteve

The first touch was class.

Hope so, I've got a tenner on it at 18/1.

What a first touch from Messi...

On another note, Argentina have the greatest kit I’ve ever seen. Love those colours

Like Brazil its a kit that never changes in its simplicity really - England / France etc have nice kits but they're never the same thing as last time

1StevieG

Sometime wonder what Argentina do in training as some these players are proper shite.

ForeverAddickted

Bizarre... You'd have thought a few had done it
