Thats the reason we wont give them the Falkland Islands
If we did, they'd just lose them to someone else within a week9 -
Amazing to see the Argies second best physically1

Cameroon at the World Cup 1990.
- beat Argentina in a shocking result in their first match
- lost to England in the quarter final
Saudi Arabia’s path makes it possible that they could meet England in a quarter final… 🧐3 -
Football did the talking today.
That was an absolutely quality high tempo game.
Argentina in a bit of a messi situation now.
That Saudi number 10 take a bow son.
Also Saudi keeper that jump for their last header to also catch that ball was sublime.
Fair play, I wouldn't want to face them in a quarter final game.1 -
Well that’s every accumulator in the country buggered! Didn’t watch. Just saw the result. Shocker.3

Not sure what you are waffling on about but no part of my comment referred to England or the way they played. I was replying to a previous comment relating to how bad Iran wereManic_mania said:eaststandmike said:

England were very good, Iran weren't allowed to be. They are no worse than most of the other teams we have seen so far.SELR_addicks said:

Remember when Argentina score 4 or 5 that no one in the tournament is worse than Iran. Wibble wibble Southgate wibble 😜Callumcafc said:It wasn’t a footballing spectacle but the tempo was excellent. I enjoyed it myself.
Now it actually feels like the World Cup is underway. I’m actually looking forward to waking up at 3:30am tomorrow to watch Argentina v Saudi Arabia of all teams..!
It's not an either/or.
The results will tell us over the next week, we won't agree on it until then. I know your view, you known mine. Only time will prove either right, if it ever does, as 4 draws won't prove either way.If they are the 20th best team in the world football is fucked.
you're right... we should have won 10-0eaststandmike said:

Watched the last 5 minutes, how good was that seeing the Argies getting frustrated by Saudi time wasting. Hope some shots surface of Messi crying to round it off.2

Oh, I enjoyed that.

lol! Sorry do have to laugh a little bit at the Danish pundit on ITV describing Eriksen's pacemaker - Saying he's the safest player on the pitch, as he'll be warned with a little electric shock if things get too dangerous for him.0

I don't get all this "Argentina were crap" stuff. They cut SA apart in the first half many times & had THREE goals rules offside (2 very marginal). Without VAR I expect Argentina would have been 2 or 3 up at half time (excluding the penalty). Once SA had something to defend they dropped a lot deeper & Argentina couldn't get in behind them.1

Goals: Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia
Expected goals: Argentina 2.23 - 0.14 Saudi Arabia
Statistically speaking, given the chances each team created, the Saudis win that match around 1-2 times in a 100.
The statistical chance of a 1-2 full time result would occur once every 500 matches roughly.1 -
Saudis were 80/1 in play at half-time!Callumcafc said:Goals: Argentina 1-2 Saudi Arabia
Expected goals: Argentina 2.23 - 0.14 Saudi Arabia
Argentina went to around Evens (1/9 pre-match) when they went 2-1 down - in-play went barmy!3 -
I still remember loving every minute of that cameroon performance, but man, they made some hideous challenges on the Argentines. Really should have been a few red cards, but everyone was happy as the favourites got beat.Callumcafc said:Cameroon at the World Cup 1990.

One game at a time but a team that plays a high line against England would play into the hands of Kane, Sterling, Saka, Rashford, etc as long as the runs were timed correctly.
Argentina still have the ability to win against Mexico and Poland. They recovered from losing the first game against Cameroon in 90 so no reason they can't bounce back this time.

my 33/1 on over 0.5 goals in every game is going well so far.1

And IF Argentina can win both those games well, then having to play must win games under pressure will benefit them, as it did England (and Pakistan) in the T20 WC.0 -
My abiding memory of that match was that they took three attempts to poleaxe Cannigia - he rode the first two but got absolutely smashed with the last one!ken_shabby said:

People laughingly comparing this to their defeat to Cameroon in 1990 seem to be forgetting Argentina still got to the final that year.0

Yes - and thankfully they lost. I'm still a firm believer that the ref gave the Germans the penalty just to stop Maradona's lunatics from winning.lordromford said:People laughingly comparing this to their defeat to Cameroon in 1990 seem to be forgetting Argentina still got to the final that year.0
