Argentina vs Nigeria

[Lord Camomile]

Right, shall I be mother for this one?

Odd game this one, as both teams have a question of "who will turn up?" about them. Let's hope both of them bring their attack and forget their defence

There is of course the small matter of Argentina's manager...

I'm thinking of going into town to watch this on the Big Screen; no idea whether we have a particularly large Argentinian or Nigerian population, but nice weather and some strawberries should ensure a pleasant afternoon. Even in Woolwich.

 

[strung out]

come on nigeria!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, I think on balance I'll be supporting the Africans too. I've got a mate who's father was Argentinian but I also used to work with a few Nigerians and being of an English persuasion I'd find it rather difficult to get behind Maradona's men properly.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I'lld fucking love nigeria too win.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

That build up thing was awful, ugh.

 

[Lo Siento.]

watching it with the (Argentine) girlfriend. So I'm on their side, despite being el que no salta...

[Lord Camomile]

That Argentine front line is fucking terrifying

 

[Lo Siento.]

the things we do for love I will refer to Messi as The Dwarf throughout if that's a comfort to ya.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Nah, messi's the only decent one!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, I wonder how much discussion there was as to whether to show that Klinsmann, erm, 'incident'...

 

[Lo Siento.]

Nah, messi's the only decent one!

exactly it's the best way to wind her up

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Im hoping messi does well in this tournament, be interesting to see how he fits in with maradona's 'system'.

the loon will probably play him left-back after seeing it in a dream

*seamlessly moves from the south korea v greece thread to the argentina v nigeria thread*

love it

 

[twistedAM]

Rooting for Argentina; we need Maradona comedy value in the tournament to last a bit longer and South Korea look like they'll probably get through the group now so quite a lot resting on this.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

c'mon nigerians

 

[nicksonic]

walter samuel always reminds me of oliver reed.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Maradona needs to shave that moustache off

 

[nicksonic]

and 'the little witch' bears an uncanny resemblance to ali g

 

[nicksonic]

Maradona needs to shave that moustache off

he's looking trim though.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Packed stadium for once...

 

[Lord Camomile]

First Toon appearance at the World Cup

In the wrong position!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Guttirez a right back, what What WHAT??????

 

[nicksonic]

the fabulously named 'wolfgang stark' is in charge

 

[QueenOfGoths]

That Argentine front line is fucking terrifying

I was just going to post - in a rather sexist Femail stylee way - how unattractive the Argentinian players are. I mean I don't want a team of pretty boys and who cares what they look like as long as they can play well but dear god thay are an ugly bunch!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

messi in destroying the defence mode already.

[TrippyLondoner]
