Argentina v Switzerland (Knockout Stage) Tuesday 1st July 2014

[juice_terry]

Will the Swiss snub out Messi, or will they capitulate like they did against France ?
Hopefully this will be as good as the other Round 2 games we've had so far.

 

[Onket]

I'm supporting Switzerland in this one.

 

[ruffneck23]

In my heart I want the Swiss but the sweep stake says Argentina

 

[magneze]

I have Switzerland in the sweepstake.

 

[editor]

I predicta straightforward Argentina win, much as I want the Swiss to roll them over.

"Ohhhhhhhhh Pablo Zabaleta
He is the fucking man,
He is an Argentinian
He's harder then Jaap Stam
He plays in Blue and White
For Pelligrini's men
And when we win the League
We'll sing this song again!"

 

[Lo Siento.]

tight 1-1, Argentina to win in Extra Time.

 

[Dr. Furface]

zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz

 

[mhendo]

Bit of pressure by the Swiss there.

 

[belboid]

Argentina are just playing within themselves so that they can really take advantage when the Swiss tire midway through the second half.

 

[belboid]

ooh, should have done much better there.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Fuck me even I'D have done better than that!

 

[editor]

Trying to get work done while watching this. Yeah, right.

 

[belboid]

the tennis is quite exciting

 

[Lo Siento.]

This Argentina team is actually pretty decent defensively and just totally disjointed going forward.

 

[Lord Camomile]

zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz

Just got home for the start of the second half, and to hear Jonathan Pearce say "it's been dull so far". Thanks for waiting lads, now a blistering second half please

 

[twistedAM]

Trying to get work done while watching this. Yeah, right.

I've been getting quite a lot of work done!

 

[Maurice Picarda]

I slept through the first half. May have got drug timings wrong, but still.

 

[editor]

I've been getting quite a lot of work done!

I keep looking up in anticipation only to be disappointed.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Switzerland are pretty decent apart from their no. 9 (and Argentina are pretty rank apart from their no. 10)

 

[editor]

Oh, hotty cam is working.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Rabonas a ball into the stands...

 

[Barking_Mad]

Glad I took the dog for a walk. Not missing much!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Rabonas a ball into the stands...

I know it's a common complaint, but I genuinely don't understand why most professional footballers aren't better with their 'weaker' foot. I get that most people naturally favour one over the other, but your one job is to play football, spend a bit of time developing your second bloody foot! You're halving your ability otherwise

 

[Silva]

this is the game I get to watch on my day off

 

[Lord Camomile]

Mascherano swearing in English there - the international language of abuse

 

[editor]

Zzzz

 

[Dr. Furface]

this is the game I get to watch on my day off

Yeah, same here

 

[belboid]

the tennis is proper exciting

 

[Dr. Furface]

Yeah, Kyrgios is now leading Nadal 2 sets to 1!
