Is this a 1:1 copy of Ger-Fra? lmao, that was the big chance
Yeop.....

Christ the further we get into this WC the more boring the matches have become.


Its like they all decided we've done enough, we can switch off and go home now. Do they even want to be there?
 
Both sides were poor.

Argentina gets a lucky bounce and goal, then start diving and interrupting play as much as possible.

Belgium keeps doing long lobs and losing possession, and Hazard wasn't even used that much.
 
If Holland win, we have the ultimate semi finals:

Brazil
Argentina
Holland
Germany

Classic matches either way you put them. Bra - Arg or Hol - Ger would be the icing though.
 
I mean, I'm no one to really critize someone like Messi, but surely with his pace he could have rounded the keeper just then?

Also, Belgium are shit, and look completely inept in front of goal.

He certainly could have, but he seems to favor to chip the keeper in that situation.

90% of the times I've seen him in on the keeper on a 1 v 1, he's gone for the chip.
 
Let's hope we can get a coach that isn't fucking obsessed with long balls that go nowhere in 4 years. I have to assume he is since we played 90 minutes and didn't change our strategy at all.

So Argentina pulled off a Germany. Got an early goal and then did everything in their power to slow down or prevent play. Even the Italians that invented that style don't do it anymore. Makes for such shitty games.
 
Anyone saying this hasn't actually watched very many matches this World Cup.

Hell, Argentina had worse matches than this.

I haven't seen them all but this had at least some promise and it failed to deliver, which makes it worse than most.
 
Well, Argentina showed that they are more than Messi. He played fine but not spectacularly today, but there were a good few other Argentines who stepped up. The smart money of course is on Netherlands to play them, and what a match up that will be.
