PLEASE don't let this go to penalties.

I actually feel really sorry for Messi. He has three opponents closing him down most of the time and none of his team mates show for the ball.

 

[SlickMongoose]

I've often wondered what would happen if you put Messi in a pub team.

 

[beats1]

Loving the reaction of the Brazilian fans taunting Argentina

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Rojo off is a good idea. He would definitely miss a penalty if it came to it.

PLEASE don't let this go to penalties.

At least penalties would add some excitement. This is fucking terrible at the moment

Only got home at 90 minutes. If that 15 mins was indicative then glad I missed so much.

 

[beats1]

Argentina resorted to 7------3 formation and long ball its amazing how bad they are playing in ET

 

[CosmicHotspur]

I missed my soaps for this!

If Argentina somehow win the World Cup FIFA should only make one winners medal and give it to Messi.

Same made it for the last five mins, sounds like we didn't miss much..

Colombia have been the best team at this World Cup IMO. Imagine if Falcao had been fit

Completely agree.

Come on Switzerland

He should have picked a better squad.

 

[tototoner]

Not sure if Argentina been poor or if Switzerland have done a number on them

 

[beats1]

He should have picked a better squad.

Not taking Tevez, Banega, Di Santo, Cambiasso and Zanetti was foolish

The issue isn't the players, they just aren't playing like a team or any plan

I think people are doing a disservice to Switzerland who have defended brilliantly

 

[Shadydan]

So how many millions has Rodriguez added to his value?

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Not sure if Argentina been poor or if Switzerland have done a number on them

Both I think, the Swiss very effective in blocking Messi out of the game but not at putting the ball in the net and the Argies apart from Messi have been dire = Stalemate.

strange to see Swiss taking off Mehmedi... feel he is odds on to take a pen...

gonna be another nail biting shoot out.... poor match. struggling to stay awake. lol!
