Whilst it's Argentina, there's is a part of me which would be very pleased if Zabaleta won the world cup. MDM and Aguero too, but mainly the Argie Manc.

Yeah...I think we all feel that way...

However being packed like sardines in a pub filled with messi lickers makes the contrarian in me rise to the top.

We only get 3.5 spots. Have to beat a powerhouse from OAF to get that fourth qualification spot. But I would say if anyone should have a spot taken away it would be CAF before CONCACAF.

Messi has played like an Argy Rooney/Gerrard/Beck**m, trying to do everything himself & ignoring others. Silva would have got Zabba & Aguero in on the right side with ease several times. He has been a right greedy cunt.

Some really greedily shit play from both sides in that match. Messi first half refusing to pass & various Bosnians shooting from 47 yards 2nd.

Bosnia did really well to stay in the game though & it's just a pity there was nobody to feed big Ed. Thought he looked a class act tonight in a really difficult job.

Aregentina a bit like Spain, not even playing at 50%.

The Argies in the past have started tournaments like a house on fire and have burnt out.

It's probably a good thing for them they are off to a slow start.

To me, a lot of players have looked tired so far in this tournament.

Perhaps both Argentina & Spain will benefit from getting the first game over & getting the legs moving again.

Yes, I had assumed that at Barcelona he never looks to his right. But you might be on to something there, Ted.

Pjanic must play closer to goal and Lulic and Bicakcic had awful game. But i think Nigeria and Iran can be beat with 442 formation

I thought Bosnia played pretty well and could certainly advance in second place. Their left back looked good; unlucky with the own goal but he looked a very good player.

Comically evil. In their white kits, kicking people & chucking themselves over it's like an episode of Star Trek where they land on a planet & find a population who have spent an eternity watching old videos of Leeds.

Still have to go some to properly emulate the real thing mind.

Glad Sagna isn't playing. Hope one of them gets Evra 2nd half.


Concacaf fielding 4 teams is a fucking joke.

This is just one more example of it.

Costa Rica showed the upside potential of a team from that region but its bullshit that they get 4 teams. Add another from Europe and the quality of the tourney rises.


It would be enhanced by the Irish or PR Scotland thats for sure...not convinced pissy budweiser could cope with the demand though

That is Kolsinac playing for Schalke and only 20 years of age . He should start on CD last night but we had Injury of Salihovic from Hoffenhaim and Bicakcic who had poor game ( guilty for second goal was in that spot)Did u notice that number 7 from Bosnia , keep tabs on Messi whole game , Hes 21 and play for Ferencvaros in Hungary. I think hes De Jong in future with better tech ability ... Everton Martinez praised him after last night game and nearly all on BBC . Big number of clubs are in hunt they say on many portals. All in all i think Nigeria and Iran are in reach with Ibisevic and Dzeko up front this time and Besic finally close that DM we always lacking and Salihovic is back also.

These "football" themed adverts on ITV are doing my head in. Exactly how much money do Hart and Gerrard, etc, need? Surely they have enough that they don't have to make such tits of themselves.
