Di Maria off, Pavon on. Good stuff.

Give owa man, Messi has been brilliant here despite Argentina as a whole failing to adapt to the tactics of Iceland. Nightmare opponents/tactics to play against these, let's reserve judgement till Messi has come against a team who actually came to play - cause he's quite clearly better than Ronny

Retiring only to come out of retirement and take a managerial role somewhere would be so, so Pardew.

Would take.

Ah man that is class

Got Pavon on the bench too, would love to see him at some point here.

Has to be handball that?

You seen how heavily he gets marked though? Players literally follow Messi around wherever he goes. Can't really compare him with Hazard, it's a different picture.

The Icelandic's are such a fucking nuisance man. Love their energy and effort. But fucking howay Argentina.

Sergio

I reckon Messi plays in the most challenging circumstances any player has ever played in. Just to advance a few yards he constantly has to shrug off at least 2 players who are breaking their neck to stay with him - and likely see it as a big achievement just to dispossess him. Amazing that he manages to still look as poetic as he does.

Great tempo

Has to hit the target there...

Bit dark this init? Need to whack that exposure comp up...

Yeah they have the means to play some good football, interested to see how it goes for them.

I think he'll surprise the people who think he's just a big lump. He can play. On the other hand Denmark have Poulsen of Leipzig and Dolberg of Ajax so it depends what kind of system they play.

Against anyone else yes, but Argentina are my boys in this WC - I want Messi to go the whole way

Just for wor Nobby if anything

Looking forward to this one. Feel it's going to be a game of whether Argentina can break down a resolute defence or not. Messi to turn it on Who's Meza?

France would be better off with Pardew.

I can't bare Mark Lawrenson me like. It's not worth this game, I'm gan for a walk

Forrins coming over here, selling drugs, stealing jobs. What's new?

My thoughts exactly

I'm guessing in the UK, those are excellent figures. Aye. Just on bbc Me ma was loving it. Still talking about it this morning she is, loved Spain's passing game

They don't have any midfielders who can control a game, and no striker that can hold it up They actually looked better a few years ago with an arguably weaker team but with the likes of Cabaye & Giroud - even Gignac playing for reasons you have stated.
