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

[RepardReece]

When Messi retires, I wonder how will Argentina play

Probably better as they won't be so overreliant on one player.

 

[PoTMS]

Take away that 5 mins of sheer madness vs Saudis and this Argentina side look rock solid

For balance, they've played absolutely dogshite teams. Poland, Mexico, Saudi and Australia are all rubbish. All teams Argentina should comfortably dispatch.

 

[croadyman]

And still created nothing and scored from a Ryan gift

Yeah thank god Dutch will give them a game because this has lost interest now

 

[MUnchies]

More impressed about how solid they are. But I've seen nothing that would make them clear favourites vs the Netherlands

Definitely going to be a cagey match. Netherlands won't find it easy either, I just hope it's a good game.

 

[2mufc0]

His best game of the 4 was the one he didn’t score in vs Poland

But in all he is absolutely delivering this World Cup

Agree he rolled back the years in that Poland game.

He's been OK for the rest but obviously with those moment of magic to score.

 

[VivaJesperBlomqvist]

Messi has always been better than Ronaldo, wtf were we talking about.

Honestly, I don’t know. I think it was loyalty, but I always always knew deep down that Messi was a special complete player and Ronaldo was just a physical monster with a pathological need to be great to the point where he overworks himself. Everything with Ronaldo is fine-tuned and laboured; Messi is godly.

 

[kouroux]

Probably better as they won't be so overreliant on one player.

I highly doubt it.

 

[Massive Spanner]

It fecking sucks that this is probably the last time we will see Messi play in a major tournament. Hard to imagine there being another player as good as him in my lifetime.

 

[Pocho]

That should’ve been a red ffs

 

[The Firestarter]

That easily should have been a 2nd yellow

 

[Withnail]

Just cos he played advantage doesn't mean the porn stash lad should get away without getting a yellow.

 

[Reditus]

For balance, they've played absolutely dogshite teams. Poland, Mexico, Saudi and Australia are all rubbish.

Eh? Mexico are not dogshit at all and Poland are always one of those very hard to beat sides

But now it really starts of course. Holland, possibly Brazil and then anyone out of France, Spain or England.

 

[2mufc0]

Can they do it?

 

[hellhunter]

2-1 game on!

 

[The Firestarter]

[DomesticTadpole]

Aussies get a deflected goal.

 

[King Eric 7]

The comeback is on

 

[Desert Eagle]

Game on

 

[CloneMC16]

It's not over!

 

[Dudu]

Game on!!

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Aus pull one back.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Australia get one back. Game on.

 

[#07]

2-1 but this is just going to go the way Netherlands-USA went, right?

 

[Statue of Limitations]

That's the rub of the green they needed.
Game on!

 

[Dazzmondo]

Ozzys not out yet

 

[Rustyspider13]

Well well well.....

 

[Deery]

[horsechoker]

The comeback is on

 

[IFC 1905]

ahhh from absolute nowhere

 

[Withnail]

Game on?

 

[Bobski]

Same game as earlier, fluke to give hope...

 

[SamVimes]

Argentina haven't conceded any chances. They are brutal at closing the game down

That aged well!!

 

[kouroux]

Devin Booker deflected the ball into his own net

 

[P-Ro]

Golazooooo

 

[Black Adder]

It's Messi fault, clear as day

 

[ha_rooney]

Game on?!

 

[P-Ro]

Frank Lampard with a screamer!!

 

[Andycoleno9]
