I dont know if many people will take you seriously considering you think England could have gone far with a decent manager....

Swiss will score in this last 15min.
Sorry messi you can't come off even though you look quite ill and knackerd
Messi as usual ran the least of all players on the pitch. Only 9km so far.
I dont care which teams wins, i now want them home by next round. The most boring match of the WC.
Penalties will be the way to settle this
Should of brought Riquelme.
He does. Quite scary looking
Can't find a decent stream to watch and then report to the authorities, commentator is Russian I think.
Every once in a while you hear something that sounds like english, could swear he just said 'c*ck rangler'.

This WC has been awesome, but if Argentina or Brazil win it, it'll be really disappointing.
You are the most humourless fecker on here.
Messi looks extremely calm.
That, or he's not really bothered.

I think Tevez will make lot of difference in this shite game. Why the coach didnt get him on squad? He surely better than Palacio right.
Surely Tevez was a better option than Higuain
This is the problem that Messi and Ronaldo face that many greats have not. Their team mates seem to combust when it matters. i remember the 2006 world cup when everybody had written France off, and they all came together and played well.
Never seen Portugal or Argentina do this.

Something's clearly wrong in this regard. He never used to be like this earlier.
Still, he's done well this tourney. His team has been shocking.
At least Im not English...
Djourou has done a job on Messi 
Argentina will struggle at the Copa next year, judging by this match.
yah maaan
i would agree with you, but seeing all the "favourites" play I'd say it's anyone's tournament and you shouldn't be disappointed if anybody wins it
They could've done with his passion for sure. Look so flat this Argie team. Sabella should be giving them a speech about the Falklands at half time.
I'm glad I only got in for extra time by the sounds of it.
Switzerland gonna win this after pen.
Argentina have had the problem of linking midfield with attack since Riquelme took his ball and went home. I still think a 36 year old Riquelme would make a huge difference to this Argentinian side.
Great shot and great save.
Argentina have no spine ... They will never win the world cup with that center midfield.
Messi to take a throw in, that will lead to Argentina's winning goal....And every single pundit will laud Messi for being the saviour and the genius of world football again
Agreed. We're happy we don't have to claim you.
The "in depth" football tacticians will always find something interesting out of nothing. You probably could have all 22 men standing still and there would be something interesting about it. Its just that to the average football viewer, its pretty bad.
These Swiss strikers are shite. They offer nothing. They don't look like scoring and they don't hold up play well, bringing others into the game either.
Shit corners offend me. How a professional footballer can't get enough height on a corner is beyond me.
Did someone forget to give Lawro his pills this morning? Is it me or is he way more grumpy than usual... and that's a high bar to jump over.
Argentina needs to score now.
Benaglio is famous for being a penalty killer

How do Argentina expect to win the penalty shootout with Romero in goal?
Need Argies to go through so Messi can still get his WC monkey off his back
I've been surprised by how bad the Argentine's have been technically.
They're usually one of the very best 1 and 2-touch teams at a WC no matter when they get knocked out, at this one, they're amongst the worst of the 32.
