Day 14: Netherlands vs USA | Argentina vs Australia (Last 16 1&2)

We really could have done with signing Alvarez. Was a low risk buy at less than £20m. Same with Enzo Fernandez.

A pressing striker who can be trusted in front of goal. Chance'd be a fine thing.
 
Argentina pressed twice and scored twice. I’ll be glad when this terrible Australia finally exits. Amateurs
 
We missed a beat not getting Alvarez though. Shame. He looks class whenever I see him.
 
The case overplaying instead of just punting it forward and trying to win the 2nd or 3rd ball. Overcomplicating things against better opponents always gets you in deep shit.
 
Australia's only chance is to bring on Kewell, Viduka and Cahill. Even with them all in their 40s now they'd all probably have more of an impact than the limited attackers they have now.
 
"Y'know what'd be the best thing to do here, as a goalkeeper, on the edge of my six yard box... I reckon it's to try and dribble past their whole front line like prime Ryan Giggs"
 
Now i want Messi to statpad. So no free penalties!
