Germany v Ghana next. I apologise in advance for the intense salt I will be spouting when Ghana undoubtedly get completely destroyed...

Sadface

 

[segarr]

Bosnia is gonna wreck them m8

well, good for them too I guess

 

[Santiako]

That was a lucky win, but a win nonetheless. Iran much better than I expected, I tip my imaginary hat to them.

[Infernostew]

messi has scored two in two.

ronaldo managed to hit a one-man wall.

Against Iran and Bosnia. Portugal played probably the front runners to win the WC.

 

[twdnewh_k]

Argentina played poor, Iran's tactics almost work.

I know ball possession isn't everything, but the difference was huge.

In my opinion the more deserving team won for sure. Very close for Iran though, very impressed.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Argentina still looks like crap. Huge problems in defense and their offense with all those star forwards looked like some weak ass buster shit.

 

[Toxi]

Not deserved at all.

Fantastic goal, because it's Messi, but undeserved.

undeserved win.

Iran was robbed

Iran fucking robbed on the world stage.

Too bad. Iran deserved at least a point

that moral victory

 

[Xater]

Hummels is going to play. YAY!

 

[Kurtofan]

.

 

[Juz]

Ah well. Good display from Iran.

Argentina look really unimpressive. Can't see them going very far.

 

[FootballFan]

Congrats Messi, you scored against Iran in injury time

That will go nicely with my fries.

 

[Haunted]

Really disappointing performance by Argentina and Messi, a single individual run saves their asses.

That's enough to scrape by against Iran, but Argentina are done against a powerful team if Messi isn't in top form (just like 2010!). Same problem as Portugal, if your entire gameplan is "world-class player X will win the game for us with a solo run eventually", you're in trouble.

 

[Rockyrock]

not a Messi fan but happy for him and Argentina.

I hate teams that come to the WC just to defend for 90 minutes.

 

[Kiraly]

Iran will blame the jews as well

The sheer stupidness in this thread lol

 

[TheOddOne]

This World Cup man, this World Cup.

 

[Hercules]

fuck argentina what a bad team.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Oh well

Congrats Argentina GAF

I'm proud of my boys no matter what happens anymore, we did really well that second half

Fuck you shitty ref

 

[elty]

Great effort by Iran.

 

[Dion Blaster]

They had like 3 guys on Messi all game... Talk about brain fart

And I think they forgot he was left-footed at the end as well. Just shows what one mistake against a great player can lead to.

 

[Tecl0n]

holy **** we had to steal the game. Maybe now people in this thread will stop naming Argentina as a candidate?

 

[rawd]

DEUTSCHE VS BLACK STAR POWER

bring it

 

[bumbillbee]

ughhhhhhhh my heart can't take this but that was a damn inspiring effort

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Mehmet Scholl on german TV seems pissed that Argentina won

 

[Ephemeris]

don't feel good about it.. but i'll take it

 

[artist]

Argentina still looks like crap. Huge problems in defense and their offense with all those star forwards looked like some weak ass buster shit.

I reckon USA can take on Argentina with a game like this.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Lol "deserved".

Take your chances like messi just did and you deserve it.

Xavi disagrees.

 

[Timbuktu]

I aint even mad. It's not like Argentina will win the World Cup. Team is crap.

Feels like it's all laid out for them though, easiest route perhaps possible, can see them 1-0 their way to the final. If only they are as lucky outside of football... not gonna happen though.

 

[gutter_trash]

Boateng vs Boateng time

please Germany win, don't troll us

 

[massivekettle]

Argentina played poor, Iran's tactics almost work.

I know ball possession isn't everything, but the difference was huge.

In my opinion the more deserving team won for sure. Very close for Iran though, very impressed.

Iran was robbed, you mean?

 

[toweringinferno]

This is good for Nigeria right?

Yh hopefully Argentina take it easy in the last group match

 

[Razor554]

Only GOAT players can save his team twice in a row like that. Argentina will do much better vs teams that gives them more space in attack.

Bra-Arg final will be amazing.

 

[Messi]

Anyone who doesn't think this was deserved doesn't know football.

 

[Error]

Messi is Messi, but this Argie team is really bad. Still their key is so easy, I see them in the semis.

 

[cafemomo]

no tears iran

only acceptance

 

[Perfect Blue]

Best player in the world

 

[Tc91]

Glad Messi scored that, really want him to do well for Argentina this World Cup. Cement yourself as the greatest ever Messi.

 

[Kandinsky]

SA keeps kicking ass, my bros <3

 

[Tekniqs]

all this "they didn't deserve to win"....wtf? lol, shit is ridiculous. they deserved to win because they actually scored.

 

[ashecitism]

Argentina need to get their act together if they want to achieve something here. Messi showing up sometimes won't be enough.

 

[hoos30]

Once Dejagah was subbed I knew this would happen >_>

I guess that coach is never going back to Iran...

 

[Chakan]

fuck argentina what a bad team.

They have Messi. You can't leave room for him to shoot.

 

[RELAYER]

So is Ghana eliminated if they lose?

edit: nvm they get to play Portugal who has dat goal differential

 

[Buba Big Guns]

not a Messi fan but happy for him and Argentina.

I hate teams that come to the WC just to defend for 90 minutes.

Lol

 

[Suen]

Argentina winning with tap in legend Messi and ref.

This ref shouldn't be allowed to ref any other game. Been shit in both.

 

[Mobius 1]

not a Messi fan but happy for him and Argentina.

I hate teams that come to the WC just to defend for 90 minutes.

Except for the fact that Iran attacked and has multiple real chances of scoring, including a penalty they were robbed of?

 

[segarr]

Imagine how that guy who posted earlier about his brother's 1400$ bet on Argentina feels. He must have done backflips when Messi scored

 

[WonkyPanda]

don't feel good about it.. but i'll take it

I felt the same until the shit hyperbole and "analysis" in this thread. Now, I revel in the win.

 

[Kraftwerk]

I know everyone is really heated right now, but can we all agree that the ref was horrible? Not even claiming whether he was biased or not, just shitty interruptions and calls overall.

Anyway,

I cant hate on that goal. That curve was beautiful to watch.

 

[Razorskin]

Iran screwed Iran

 

[smokeandmirrors]

So is Ghana eliminated if they lose?

Germany wins and US wins they are done for sure.
