Tremendous move by Argentina.

Gotta love how every overhit pass or misjudged ball is apparently proof that something's weird with the jabulani, like players never misplace passes or fuck up positioning with regular balls

Lee is really good. What an assist.

A bit too cynical from Jonás there.

upside down? y USA? USA has to wait until you get taken over by Mexicans.

Argies are kinda our cousins so I always support them after Spain (and other Spanish-speaking countries too)

ManU are notorious slow starters. No better time to play them imho.

That was an awful deal, as it was first reported.

Di María to Real Madrid done deal for €25m plus Rodrigo (one of their youth prospects), according to today's Marca.

Never, IIRC. Spain 1982. But that tournament still had the two group phases format, and no knockouts until semifinals.

Psyched for the South Korea - Argentina game for some reason. I think it can be a cracker.

Get in

Godín is a class defender. Pellegrini wanted to take him to Real Madrid.

Great pen Diego you beauty.

Stonewall pen, can't see why people think Suárez made a meal of it, hard to stay up.

Eat that, vuvuzela munchers.

How irrelevant. They also have the WC rights in Spain! There, now it is.

Fuck me, to make this day shittier the company that pays Barça's TV contract (and Madrid's) has just filed for administration.

Some very big news that can potentially send ripples across Spanish football. Mediapro, the company that holds the TV rights for Barça and Real Madrid (and several other La Liga teams), has just filed for administration. They say they will honor the football contracts, but we'll see.

I was sympathetic to SA but I find myself wishing they get dumped and they stick the damn vuvuzelas on their arses.

Actually I'm fine with us being defeated with this kind of display, since it highlights the way people are going to play against Barça after Inter (let's admit it, Spain is Barça+guest wingers/fullbacks) and hopefully we'll make a plan for that. Hopefully.

Well that sucked. Entertaining game though.

You need to distribute 50k trumpets at the door of SJP before every game tbh.

Good subs.

I knew it
