no Aguero, Higuain or (surprise suprise) Dybala. Never liked Di Maria (watch him score now) Pavon didn't particularly impress me from what I can remember.
...Just gonna leave that there.... Not sure if it makes me a predictions god or the opposite tbh...
To be honest my parents and I were all saying Di Maria was absolutely useless and then he just scored....
Thing is Jessie I think you, me and your parents are probably right - he has a lot of talent yes, but one goal no matter how well struck doesn't change that he has under-performed too many times in the last few years. He's a bit like how I view Walcott from an England perspective - just too much inconsistency.
France have scored two penalties and had two wicked deflections go their way for their only tournament goals. Combined with their poor friendlies coming in to the tournament, I haven't been convinced by them at all.
Argentina were worse of course but the momentum built from their last gasp qualification against Nigeria is squeezing them past this uninspiring French team as it stands.
ITV must be gutted. They have had all the dross games, France/Denmark, Croatia/Nigeria, England/Belgium and BBC have had the two decent England games, and the games of the tournament Portugal/Spain and now this one...

Argentina v Portugal quarter final would be amazing. As would Argentina v Uruguay.
Argentina going to have half their side suspended for the next game though at this rate
Get to the final and then.....
Get beaten by England!!!!!

This is turning into a classic.
Could do without this kind of drama for England Colombia
