Hang in there!
Shaqiri is spent
Cher cleared it.
Do you believe.
Do you believe.
Messi should just stop passing it, everyone else seems useless
The Argie keeper gives me little confidence should this go to kicks.
That's one stubborn monkey.
Di Maria 
Jaysus Di Maria
Swiss living dangerously!

Argies are going out if it comes to pens, don't they?
Who are the BBC commentators? They're absolutely god-awful.
Di Maria have wasted chance after chance after chance. One have to hand it to the Swiss, Messi gets a triple mark every time he gets the ball.
If Argies don't score, they won't win in penalties. Benaglio is pretty good at it, while Romero is absolutely terrible. I remember him against Uruguay, he was more scared than the players who were shooting them.
Not quite as bad as Nigeria vs Iran. But close.
Argentina are going home folks.......watch this space
What's frustrating is the consistently poor decision-making and technical quality.
Aye.
Personally, if I was a club manager I'd dock wages for stupid things like shit corners, shit penalties, etc.
Has Di Maria heard the news that his club are after James, or something?
It's a real pity he's gone to the World Cup and basically ruined the reputation he'd built up for himself over the season.

This world cup is insane. I don't remember if there was ever this many extra time or penalties to decide a game.
Ricardo Rodriguez has been very impressive.
I'm probably being stupid but has Messi ever had a high profile pen shootout? I can't think of Barca being involved in any, in their golden years.
Messi is wrecked.
Messi is buggered.
So that's your prediction, for a match, 5 minutes from a shoot out?
True, I agree. He's had such a good season with Real, but he has been very wasteful this match.
Though the tactics are terrible too. Messi obviously needs help, when he gets the ball he is surrounded by swiss but there's normally no-one else around to help. Terrible tactical positioning (for the whole team) all game.
Against Uruguay in Copa America. He took the first one and scored if very confidently.
Argentina are dreadful.
Why are players trying to dribble past so many nearing 120 mins into the game?
Rodriguez has been awesome all tournament. Someone better be having a look at him.
Both sides playing for penalties now.
You'd struggle.
So that's your prediction, for a match, 5 minutes from a shoot out?
I have money on them to win the tournament and I have no luck with teams in penalties, they are going home!
This x100
Whichever team I'm supporting when it comes down to penalties always seems to lose, so it looks like Argentina are going to the next round!Argies are going out if it comes to pens, don't they?
Argentina. Are shit.
Chers hurt,
If I could turn back time.
If I could turn back time.
Argentina's attackers let them down, not their defenders.
Indeed. Reckon he will get a big club move after the WC.
