Round of 16 Matches

[Drico]

An unimpressive win for Argentina, that. Lucky enough to get it in the end. Fair play to Australia - gave their all. Toss up between Holland and Argentina.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Australia have done themselves proud. Well done to them men. Deserved losers, but can exit the tournament with their heads held high.

 

[allen]

If only Australia hadn’t shot themselves in the foot with that second goal.

Aaron mooy looks like a baldy cam smith.

 

[Drico]

Imagine the look on the face of Lautaro Martinez if the Aussies had taken that last gasp chance. Profligate. A hair-raising moment if ever there was one.

Ah so unlucky

 

[Connor]

Scaloni swerves the weird subs and they're the favorites

 

[DanEFC92]

No surprises in the knockouts so far.

 

[Papa Shango]

The Australians should stop crying, get up off the floor and start charming Messi so they can swap shirts with him as it is his 1000th game.

Steve Hodge knew the score.

 

[Obes]

These Argie fans are belters. Totally took over the gaff tonight.

 

[Connor]

Love how Messi has gone from the underperforming outsider in the eyes of Argentine fans who viewed him as 'The Catalan' to fully embraced as the king

 

[davek]

The OTT BS about Messi here from this BBC lot.

[Bohemian Toffee]

Always have time for a team that wins in spite of themselves.

Martinez either comes good and Argentina become live threats or he continues in the same vein of form and they get found out by the Dutch.
