I'm gonna sound like a bitter, but I still don't think Messi had stood out this tournament. Yes he's had moments of quality which is why he's in the team, but he doesn't stamp him authority on a game - his workrate isn't great (understandable of course given his years) and a lot of the games just pass him by.

Yeah, superb pass for the goal, but I wouldn't say he's lifted the game other than that.

He's done what he's needed to do when Argentina have needed him to do it, and that's what wins World Cup's

It wasn't like Rossi was amazing every game in 82 but he turned it on at the right times

That's what the best do

Handles the ball = no card.

Lol.

The ref is as bent as a none-bob note.

Easy to see how refs go easy on a player cos of their reputation. Then extrapolate that out to teams, and you can see how some teams get decisions over a season, and others get shafted.

Dutch still haven't had a shot on target yet have they?

And only 1 off target according to Guardian.

Neither of these teams are beating France

Portugal v Argentina final would be cool though, with Ronaldo sat on the bench.

Daley Blind is terrible

You know who I want to talk about?, the best player on the pitch, Croatia’s right back, Josip Juranovc absolutely brilliant

Well in Jura, only thing is he misses Pittodrie now.

The irony of Van Dyyk complaining about it

People still banging the drum that Messi's the best player of all time.

Ha Ha Ha.

FFS that's amazing.

Couldn't lace this feller's boots.

Nah you're not even trying any more Dave. Clear wind-up. It's not the sentiment necessarily but your sudden contrarian swerve towards essentially calling Messi crap because everyone else says he's good.

Might be the longest-running Azul wind up of all time this, and I've gone right in for it.
