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

[Lord Camomile]

the tennis is proper exciting

Holy crap, Nadal is 2-1 down! Right, time to start channel flicking.

 

[Dr. Furface]

They should forget extra time and just go straight to pens

 

[editor]

Make it end.

 

[editor]

Oh, bloody hell.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Crowd sounded like they were booing at the end. Can't blame em.

 

[Lord Camomile]

...the amount of times he's hit the first man with his balls

*snigger*

 

[belboid]

and a break up in the fourth!

 

[belboid]

go Kyrgios!

 

[JimW]

Great work from the ref

 

[editor]

Can't both these terms get kicked out and we can have Chile back instead?

 

[editor]

Shocking game this.

 

[Lo Siento.]

at least I had a bet on it going to extra time...

 

[editor]

Argentina really are shit, but Switzerland are even shitter.

 

[twistedAM]

YES

 

[editor]

Dreadful game.

 

[editor]

Still, at least it's over quicker.

 

[mhendo]

Once again, a piece of Messi magic saves an otherwise-mediocre Argentina. He's carried them for this whole competition.

The strike was fine, but it was Messi's lead-up that made the goal.

 

[editor]

*Now* it gets interesting.

 

[Lord Camomile]

How unlucky!

If Switzerland go out he's going to keep replaying that in his head for years

 

[Fez909]

oh, so close

 

[Lord Camomile]

The 'keeper staying up is fine, but it's meant his team have had to leave two defenders back to cover him!

 

[Lord Camomile]

And here he comes again, no doubt

Um, yes - that was a dive

 

[editor]

I wish I'd started watching this like 10 minutes ago.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Pfffffffffffft.

 

[twistedAM]

And, again...
"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!"

 

[Onket]

Hopefully Belgium or the USA will kick their arses in the next round.

 

[SpookyFrank]

In the five minutes I saw of this Switzerland were terrible. Couldn't get the ball out of their own half with eleven men behind it.

 

[rutabowa]

I really enjoyed this match actually ha. though i only watched from the end of 1st half. Argentina were far better.
