Quarter-finals

[BoyBrumby]

Come on, if the Falklands War, military Juntas, Evita, the Hand of God and Diego Simeone aren't enough to make one root for the land of beer and chips, ****ing Demichelis is playing for the Argies.

I know there's a lot of talk about Messi being a one-man team, but that really doesn't mean you shouldn't mark anyone else.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Top, top finish, tbf.

 

[Tangles]

I think everyone's surprised by Higuian scoring. Lucky deflection and a good volley.

 

[Johnners]

What a pass from Messi, deserved better than that from di Maria.

 

[Spark]

Anyone got a vine of that pass?

 

[Teja.]

Messi has looked surreal in the first half.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's a horrible challenge from Hazard. No attempt to get the ball, studs raised towards the calf.

Wouldn't have had a prob with a red there, actually.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice sign for Argentina that some of the others apart from Messi are finally waking up in this tournament.

Jesus, that's just a criminal waste of a free kick.

Yer Phelgms have come into this a lot more second half.

Still haven't looked very good, though

 

[Spark]

This is miserable from Lukaku and company. Get onside ffs.

I'm not a big fan of Belgium but really not sure why some of these FKs are being given. Makes Fellaini even more useless then he already is.

 

[Spark]

I dunno why Argentina have decided to sit back like this, tbh. Easily had it in them to win by two if they kept on the way they were going at half time.

But I don't think Belgium have come remotely close to scoring, so I guess it's worked.

 

[Spark]

Wow, fully expected Messi to bury that

 

[GIMH]

Really wanted extra time.

Bummer.

Been a bit disappointed with a fair few of the knockout games tbh

 

[Tangles]

Nice from the Belgian keeper.

Well that was definitely the closest would have served them right in a way, but TBH Wilmots tactics of getting them to boot it up to the big lads up front don't deserve much either.

Pretty **** day of sport this really, so far.

Gotta blame Belgium here though. Argentina did what they needed to do, but that was proper **** in the last part of the match with that constant driving the ball into the box and giving away fouls/offsides.

 

[Tangles]

Would love Fellaini to get sold before the new season. So crap on the ground and useless when refs are giving leaning/pushing fouls.
