🏆Match #50: Round of 16 - Argentina 2-1 Australia (7/12/22, 3pm)

The falling over dead has started.

Keepers catching the ball easily then going to ground lying down, give them 15 mins in a sin bin with no reserve keeper allowed.

[OFT]

Danny Murphy earlier saying they should take Messi off to protect him. Once again acting like and assuming the game was done and dusted

In football it never is until the final whistle.

I wish they'd take Danny Murphy off to protect us :arry:

Then Argentina will just put Messi in goal, and his thoughts will keep the ball out.

Zabaleta > everyone else presenting tonight

Why are there so many sh*t pundits & commentators?

Closed shop innit. Jobs for the boys where they all say the same cliched b*llocks over and over.

The best one was the Chelsea womens manager at the euros last year. Sack them all and replace them all with women.

[evomutant]

Think the dutch will do them.

Hope they do as well, can do without another tidal wave of Messi inspired jizz.

[sendô]

Yeah Argentina are no great shakes, and Messi isnt the player he was any more. The Dutch are more organised and better through their team.

[Doc H Ball]

Must confess, I’m loving watching Messi and the Argentine crowd.

Spent a couple of very happy years in Oz and made great friends, but by f*** am I happy they’re out.

[Cuenca 'ammer]

and due to the way it's set up next time around, we could see some really really shyte games as more shyte teams will make it.

gonna be like England vs. Lichtenstein, vs. Luxembourg, vs. San Marino, just for example...

and with the way the format is set up, 2 teams will have played before either play a 2nd game against a team that hasn't played yet..

effin' stupidly formatted way to go..

[Wilko1304]

I live (well, sometimes) in Australia, my partner is Australian and I've got Aussie mates. I've enjoyed them going through and happy they gave it a good go, but it's very difficult to enjoy Australian men having any success in sport.

Realistically, I just want Messi to win. They're not particularly good or likeable aside from him, but he's just godly.

[simonirons]

Glad the ausies are out but throughly enjoyed them picking up dropped notes from the Denmark manger to Erickson and passing to their manager who consequently changed formation to see the game out.
