A family in a golf cart passed me outside 4 times while I was cleaning the inside of my car out and streaming the Argentina game on my phone.

The family was decked out in Argentina kits..... 3 of them Messi kits..... I had to tell them Argentina was 1 up already on an OG...... They didn't seem to care.

Can you imagine if you were some 40 year old bloke and you were still wearing football shirts, should be following Henry's lead.

Messi looks dead, a couple years ago he would have been chasing down after that shot was fired.
He's been shit ever since Bayern humiliated Barca......ok not quiet since he did find his form before he got injured again last season but still...

The tax evasion took its toll.

I can't even imagine golfcarting around on a regular street like an asshole. Thats strictly for the course.

You know it's trouble when we are the sensible ones

Tad flat this game, Bosnia gonna have to take a chance and stick another forward on and some point

This was my warning to every regular here. WC threads bring out the worst.

EDIT: Oh and by worst I don't mean me, even though I showed up here after the 2010 WC

Gonzalo Higuaín is on the verge of signing for Barça. The Catalans have agreed terms with the striker and are currently bidding to finalise an agreement with Napoli, who signed the forward for €40 million from Barcelona's arch-rivals, Real Madrid, just last summer.

New 'Azulgranas' boss Luis Enrique has earmarked the Argentina number nine as his top attacking target and Barça director of football Andoni Zubizarreta has moved swiftly to try to tie up a deal.

Fucking hell :(

Please, I know you can do better.
 
I honestly think Argentina should just go completely mad with their line-up:
4 at the back
Mascherano
di Maria - Lavezzi
Higuain - Messi (lol) - Aguero

I honestly expected Palacio to be in the XI. Any reason why he is not starting? The fact that Willy isn't even in the squad is mindblowing.

Although I do find it amusing the amount of people in the WC thread that are like "this is the Argentina people were talking about?", "Argentina have no hope in hell"

A week ago Brazil were favourites. And then holland who no one gave a chance are now amazing. They're all extrapolating stuff based off one game, it's jokes lol. You can easily tell the casuals.

I'd say so, yes.

You wouldn't know Argentina have some of the best players in the world on the pitch.

that's true but in general I think we shouldn judge these teams based the their first game. For me this game looks every similar to the Brazil - Croatia game and I'd be hard pressed to say that any of these teams is better than the other.

Messi moving kinda slow. Not been the same since his injury.

Could've got a shot off a couple times instead of passing in the 1st half.

Can only judge what I've seen m8.

Not writing anyone off by any means, but I expected them to look far better than this.
