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

[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)

[sendô]

I cant see to convicts getting near the Argies.

[Puff Daddy]

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

[Coops]

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.

[hammerman11]

Let's hope so. Would be a cracker !

[Ludeksgloves]

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.

[jastons]

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

[sendô]

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.

[Doc H Ball]

Got to hand it to the Argentine fans

[steps]

That Irvine bloke for Aus looks like Begby out of Trainspotting.

Keeping themselves awake

Will jinx it now, but 'Straya look very comfortable so far.

And so the w**kfest begins

And so the w**kfest begins

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

[sendô]

Well they already spent most of their time before the game tugging him off.

[Pob!]

That Stoke centre half might be worth a cheeky bid..

[simon hammer]

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.

And so the w**kfest begins

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

BBC busy selling him off as we speak.. Must piss Stoke fans off (we hate it when they do it with Rice)
