ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Did Messi dive last night? I thought he did once in the box. There was contact but definite embelishment. Still, he was fab last night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Son of a bitch, when the fuck was this game on?! God damn Univision! And of course it was the good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Argentina should've won by more, still mystified to how Higuain left the field goalless. All he can do is finish, and when he's not finishing well he's fucking awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 is Mati Fernandes injured for Chile? Managed to catch most of tonights game and bits of their game against uruguay but not seen him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Does Uruguay need a result tonight to go through? EDIT: Never mind, they just scored so it doesn't really matter to me any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've been to that Malvinas ground in Mendoza, there is a couple more called that too in Arg, they stick them on all the maps of the country you see too. Denial central. Anyway, anyone seen much of how Coates is getting on for Uruguay? He's pretty highy rated and from what I've read/heard could be worth someone taking a punt on.

LooneyToonArmy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Argentina vs Uruguay in the quarter final.....much earlier than anticipated. In Copa history, Argentina - Uruguay fixtures...13 victories for Argentina and 13 victories for Uruguay, plus 3 draws. Both teams have 14 Copas....plus both with 2 WCs and Olympic titles....a battle Should be a cracker but I think/hope Uruguay win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play better football than that Greece side. Infact they're renowned for playing through midfield whereas Paraguay have been roundly criticised for their style of play.

ponsaelius Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thinking about it I don't agree with that comparison at all. Greece in 04 were dull as fuck and relied upon knicking goals from set-pieces, while having a very well organised defence. To me this Venezuela side seem to have a shaky defence and actually throw quite a lot of players forward when attacking. I think they've been one of the more entertaining sides in the competition when you consider that they're probably 2nd worst on the continent in terms of player quality.

No goals conceded in the knockouts, they were a wall defensively. A dull, drab, shitstain of a wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
