  • Their best and probably only chance of scoring a goal and the Aussies send in two shocking free kicks from decent positions.
  • Think Netherlands beat them.
    Personally, I suspect the Dutch could end up going far by going under the radar. One of Netherlands or Argentina is guaranteed semi final at least. Neither have been very good so far and both had a relatively easy group (particularly Netherlands - being the number 2 seed in Qatar’s group was a virtual bye), a kind round of 16 draw and, weirdly, not a bad quarter final draw, because neither of them are all that.
    But they both have the World Cup pedigree, so either of them could turn it up a notch in the later stages.
    There were a lot of comments about ‘lucky draw’ when England progressed in the last two tournaments. I’d be interested to see if those same comments come up if the Dutch or the Argentinians end up winning it.
  • Anyone else give the TV a Nescafé wave when the Aussie ex scum player appeared on screen 
  • Yeah yeah, we saw this in the earlier game, we know what'll happen next
  • Have they seriously just given that goal to Goodwin?
  • Flukey goal keeps the last few minutes interesting
  • Yeah yeah, we saw this in the earlier game, we know what'll happen next
    Its only tomorrow in the England game when Senegal pull it back to 2-1 that the comeback will actually happen
  • That was almost a Messi goal. By an Aussie!
  • Jesus what a run that was
  • That block from Martinez was brilliant to deny a certain goal

    Giggs v Arsenal style.

    Shame he couldn't quite finish it off.
  • Messi's stats for Argentina aren't as good as you'd imagine. 94 goals, but only 50 of them were in competitive matches.

    50 in 118 competitive matches compares pretty poorly with CR7's 98 in 142.

    9 goals in World Cups is a low return too, considering the number of games he's played (22).
    True but Ronaldo plays in Euro qualifiers which are undeniably easier than South American ones. He gets to bang in goals against the likes of Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg and the Faroe Islands. He only has 7 goals at world cups.

    If Messi played for a European nation (say Spain for example) he'd probably have far more competitive goals.
  • How many times does Messi have to set up Martinez before he scores?
  • Christ, Messi has been fantastic this evening. Joy to watch

    35 but still giving his all in the 94th minute
  • What a great save.

    Ugh.
    Please let’s not refer to Ronaldo by his trademark name. It’s proper cringe.
  • One man team Argies….. stuff them please Holland.
  • Great display by Australia given how limited their squad is.

    Messi keeping Argentina going...
  • Couple of great chances near the end for Australia but i think as a football fan it's better to see Argentina progress.

    Their fans are probably the best i've seen in this tournament and the game v Holland should be great to watch.

    Easier than giving his full name seeing that there are 2 Ronaldos

    Granted. I do get it, it’s just a bit nails down a blackboard for me.
  • The Dutch beat that Argentina side if they can handle Messi, but that’s a big but. Not convinced by them at all.
  • Netherlands v Argentina quarter final at 7pm on Friday 9th.
  • If we can do our bit tomorrow….. England v France and Netherlands v Argentina.


    You just can’t beat the World Cup
  • Gary Lineker asked what the Argentinians were singing. I can tell you that one song they were singing a lot during the match was:

    'El que no salta es un ingles'

    'He who isn't jumping is English.'

    It is strange though that Messi has yet to have a really good WC, to match his club form. And Argentina are a better country than Portugal too, with 2 WC wins. Other than 2006, Portugal have failed to get past the R16 during C Ronaldo's time, whereas Argentina have reached the final in 2014

    He was voted player of the tournament in 2014.

    He's also carrying them through this one.

    And everyone at the time thought it was well off, and given to him because of who he was.

    Several of the German teams played better, Mascherano played better.
