Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

[Drico]

That Messi corner there at the end says it all. They're utterly stage struck. This looks a draw all night.

Why does it feel like nearly every other country has brought lots of fans to the world cup apart from England ? Probably a good thing but still a bit odd.

Atmosphere here is legit impressive

Banning orders.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Get De Paul off and move Mac Allister into central midfield

 

[evilwebby]

He's probably gonna put in a worldie now, but at no point in any world cup match have I watched Messi play and though he was anywhere near to being the best player world.

IMO that is what separates the greats from the wannabes - they bigger the stage the more the true greats raise their game.

only see a goal coming from a free kick here. Tho I assume Argentina is gonna have to press forward as I wouldn't want to play poland having to win by mutilple goals

10 minutes of football, 35 minutes of snide so far.

Which part was the 10 minutes of football? I missed it

They should be changing things as we speak. Plenty of attacking talent on the bench. Need someone like Dybala to open things up here.

Even during the World Cup where the voted him the best player?

Messi is clearly past his best now.

Argentina's strikers all hanging outside the box. Mex is fine w/ 0-0 draw

Messi a wannabe ?

Come on mate, stop it. I’m in agreement he’s far from the player he once was, but let’s not get carried away.

They need a real left side

 

[PhilM]

Meanwhile, back in Blighty.

Get The Hague on the line - that constitutes a crime against humanity.

 

[everton fan number one]

People copare this geezer Messi to Maradona. Maradona used to scrap all game- put tackles in, take fouls for the team constantly. Messi's a totally different player. Not a leader.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Argentina's centre halves doing their level best to play the Mexicans in.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Get De Paul off and move Mac Allister into central midfield

He's stunk for over 140 minutes now him.
