World Cup Last 16 and onwards (excluding England matches)

MrsGrey

Happy birthday ;ok


Crunch time in Group D. ;wahoo

Argentina have to win, and hope that Iceland don't beat Croatia, who are playing their B team tonight. If Iceland do, Argentina will hope they have bettered Iceland's GD.

If Iceland do beat Croatia, Nigeria will need at least a draw with Argentina, and even that might not be enough. If they lose to Argentina, they'll be hoping Iceland lose too.

Croatia are through no matter what.

Good luck Iceland.
I’ve never forgiven Maradonna

I’ve seen messi’s goal from a few angles and I’m pretty certain that not at any point did he actually look up to see where the goal was, and yet he still found the corner with his wrong foot. Astonishing

IronHerb

I looked at that and I think he did look when the ball came of his thigh. He didn't lift his head but his eyes seemed to look up for a moment.

IronHerb

Happy birthday Preston. ;beer ;cake

Vorselaarhammer

His first touch was ridiculous...

IronHerb

Aguero must be sitting there scratching his head and wondering if Higuain is even going to touch the ball. ;hmm

IronHerb

Well done ref. VAR shows it and he decides no. Good call. ;clap

MrsGrey

Exactly how it should work.

MrsGrey

Argentina looking for an Agueroooo moment.

IronHerb

So am I. ;lol

IronHerb

Rojoooooo! ;wahoo ;lol

MrsGrey

;wahoo

PrestonHammer

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I still can't predict a winner in a one horse race though. ;lol

MrsGrey

I feel sorry for Nigeria because Argentina haven't actually offered that much to the tournament.

Hammerwombat

Saturday......france v Argentina could be good, could be an utter bore fest, although it will be a lot of fun.

Well one of em have ti step up

As neither have impressed

MIAHammer

Great try by Nigeria. This World Cup has shown that there are very few easy games. Asia and Africa are bridging that gap.

Side note, I think Drogba is a really good pundit

MrsGrey

And Zaba ;ok

alderz

They both are really able to articulate things that non-pros might not notice, whereas some others just say the obvious lines.
