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

Post by Shabu »

I've always wanted to visit Argentina, especially since I met a Welsh bloke who was actually Argentinean & told me some of the history.

Anyway, I reckon the Aussies will surprise a few people here. 1-1 draw but go out on penalties.

(p.s. I have now just all but guaranteed a 5 nil win for the Argies)

Oz will be competitive, as a major sporting nation, that's in their DNA, its just the same in Rugby,, Cricket, Swimming and all the other sports they compete in. This won't be a cricket score , but the Argies have the better players and shoukd win through. The Aussies best chance coukd be from a set play, og or maybe on pens. If it go's that far, then anything could happen in that lottery

I would love to see the Aussies win but I don't hold up much hope for them.
This side of the draw has an Argentina Vs Brazil semi written all over it.

Would love the convicts to win, but can’t see past a resounding Argie win that hypes them up beyond belief, before they crash out in the next round.

I expect Argentina to win but don't think they will be convincing.

As funny as it’d be to see Argentina lose here I just can’t bring myself to want to see the Aussies win at any sport.

He just scored a goal, nothing else. Yet somehow he has done the greatest thing ever on a football field.

In the context of this match, it's just a goal. Wasn't even that special tbh However, it has come in his 1000th game which is a huge milestone for him and any other player, so I kinda get the plaudits he's receiving.

Australia giving a good account of themselves here.

They'd just started their c*ntishness tricks, as well. Then golden boy scores a fairly ordinary goal, imo.
C'mon Aus.
