Aguero and Di Maria...hot damn.

 

[Niks]

Good job by costa rica so far.

 

[Fireblend]

Ole Ole Oleeee!!! Ticooos!!! Ticooos!

I'm not a big soccer fan, but I figure at least someone from CR should be rooting for them here.

 

[jett]

why messi doesnt sing the national anthem??

many players never sing

 

[Socreges]

I like this starting 11 much, much more. Argentina will score. 2-0 final, I'm saying.

HIGUAIN YOU SUUUUCK

 

[jamesinclair]

I thought CR would be hands down the worst team in the tournament. I thought theyd make Bolivia look amazing...


But damn, theyve impressed.

CONCACAF power!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Pipa fail.

 

[Javier]

Holy crap. Argentina has wasted how many chances now?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

they just aren't scoring lol

 

[jett]

how many heart attacks have you had so far Argentina-GAF? LOL

 

[Socreges]

How the hell is that not a free kick?? Di Maria got SACKED

Higuain that was terrible

 

[Clydefrog]

HIGUAIN YOU SUUUUCK

wow
seriously

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

BBHAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHahhAHahAAHHHHHAAHAAA!!!!!


Bastistuta is crying somewhere

 

[Little Green Yoda]

This is getting comical. So many opportunities and nothing to show for it. :lol

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Argentina has absolutely no interest in winning this match.

 

[Facism]

i think the commentator just said "puta?"

 

[Socreges]

wow
seriously

Positionally, he's a wonderful forward. But otherwise I cannot understand the praise he gets.

(granted, I'm a Barca fan, but that hasn't stopped me from loving Di Maria)

 

[Clydefrog]

Aguero the janitor! nice initial save from the goalkeeper though

argentina was BOUND to score

 

[Barbacoatl]

yaygentina

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

LOL shit was so Offsides

 

[Javier]

Wow, that was a really lucky goal in the end.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The floodgates just opened.

Argentina will win this match 3-0 at least.

 

[Socreges]

GOL AGUERO

Honestly surprised he didn't just blast that over the bar

Gago created that. Great strike

Wow, that was a really lucky goal in the end.

I don't consider all rebound goals to be "lucky". You have to create those chances through pressure and making it tough for the keeper

 

[elty]

Isn't that offside?

Edit: looks like it is not

 

[K1LLER7]

Just came in, is lavezzi playing?
lol gago started the play with his shot, he seemes useful at argentina.

 

[Error]

How many chances did Higuain waste? Goddamn, is there a more wasteful striker than him???

 

[KidA Seven]

Positionally, he's a wonderful forward. But otherwise I cannot understand the praise he gets.

(granted, I'm a Barca fan, but that hasn't stopped me from loving Di Maria)

Higuain always scores a lot for Real. I think he's proven that he deserves the praise he gets.

 

[Socreges]

Just saw the goal again. Aguero was 100% onside

Higuain always scores a lot for Real. I think he's proven that he deserves the praise he gets.

I never see him create many of his goals. More than anything, to me, he seems to be the product of fantastic teammates.

 

[K1LLER7]

Dimitar Berbatov

 

[Insane Metal]

Argentina playing really well today.

It will be 3-0 or something like that. I guess.

 

[Ostinatto]

minuto 89

Campbell anota

el

1-1

 

[Socreges]

Wow, fuck Duarte

 

[K1LLER7]

AGUEROOOOOOOO, dat ball from messi

 

[Socreges]

Aguero gives respect to Messi, but he should keep it for himself. Higuain probably would've missed!

Argentina survives to the next round...... all I wanted. The tournament would be a lot less interesting without them, imo

 

[jett]

fersis am cry

Spoiler

tears of happiness

really beautiful playing from argentina

 

[KidA Seven]

You mentioned Higuain is great at positioning himself. That's how he gets his goals. It's not fair to discredit his goals because he doesn't create. That's the same thing they say for Chicharito, and they did for Inzaghi.

In the past 3 years he's had 66 goals and 21 assists in 109 appearances. That's really good.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

That was pretty blatant holding.

 

[K1LLER7]

higuain how do you keep missing

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Higuian.

What.

The.

Fuck.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Argentina's balls finally dropped, I see.

 

[K1LLER7]

nice di maria, messi trolling the defence

 

[jett]

SWEET LAWD amazing passing from Messi tonight

 

[KidA Seven]

So Bautista... what were you thinking with that old lineup?

 

[SamuraiX-]

So how has Joel Campbell looked this match?

Anything special from him at all?

 

[Socreges]

Christ, Messi putting it on a silver platter for Higuain again and again.... dude cannot finish

Di Maria shows how it's done

Meh. I gave him credit where I thought it was due. My point is that I feel you can place a LOT of players in his stead and they'd produce just the same, and many would do better. I expect more from a striker, yet he's spoken of with such praise that I don't think is merited.

I don't agree with the comparisons to Inzaghi and Chicharito, btw. Could explain in detail if you'd like

I would be quiet on these points, but he's been dreadful today and deserves my wrath, haha

 

[v4gr4nt]

Messi has been amazing today. Really hope he get to score.

 

[jamesinclair]

Good job Argentina, you beat a bunch of 20-22 year old Costa Ricans in your home stadium.

Thats real fantastic of you. Bonuses to everyone.

[Talon]

Everybody knows Pippo sold his soul to the devil to be at the right place every fucking time.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So Bautista... what were you thinking with that old lineup?

He thought he was this man.
