    Aye, he's definelty more Walcott than Aguero although he doesnt look that bad technically he just cant shoot or cross or pass the ball very well. Would probably do a job for someone like Liverpool in place of Kuyt.

    First game thats been worth staying up for. The joy of being a student and working in the evening is being able to stay up to watch these games aswell as having a long lie. Same time tomorrow for Brazil! Hope Sao Paulo's Lucas starts tomorrow, cracking player.


    Ilovetheceltic: Yeah it looks like that. I hate those types of players lol

    Really pleased to see Argentina finally get it together.

    I'm not bothered that Lavezzi's out for the QF.

    Messi, Higuain, Aguero up front - Pastore to start in midfield.

    Lot of young talent in this squad - only worry for the next World Cup is defence, Burdisso and Milito both be mid-30s by them, Zanetti'll be 40!

    Same although I dont mind 1 in a team for the benefit of the team like us playing Brown on the right for us or Kuyt's role for Liverpool. But Lavezzi for Argentina is no use when theres superior players available.

    Still another world cup after that one left in Zanetti then :56:

    Zanetti is like Roberto Carlos one of those players who never lose pace. Almost 38 and still quite a fast player, must be because they are hardly ever injured.

    Its not going to well tbh

    The match on just now is yet another poor game. Ive watched every game I think, maybe missed 1 or 2 max and I havent really seen a game I would class as good yet. Chile played well against Mexico but it was more like Mexico B and they were wide open, that was maybe the best game as I cant think of any others and it was a 6.5/10 at best.

    They played on Sunday so probably wont be playing until the end of the week now.

    The next game is Uruguay V Mexico at 1.45am should be decent as Uruguay should score 3/4 goals. Mexico play fairly wide open end to end and Chile should have took 5 or 6 off them. They are full of young players and lose the ball all the time and get hit on the break.

    PS. Ive probably just jinxed that game now as 90% of the games so far have been *. Uruguay will end up scraping a 1-0 with a scrambled OG in the 93rd minute now :87:

    Bit unfortunate for Peru that.

    Have to say though, Chile deserve the win...

    I got outta jail! Had £50 in my account and bet £25 on more than 2.5 goals in the game!!! With 10 minutes to go, i put my last £25 on there being more than 0.5 goals @5/2.
    Was dying inside with every close shave.Big phew for me! Go Chile!

    Should stick £25 on over 2.5 goals in this game as Mexico so far have looked like Bambi on ice at the back and Uruguay with Suarez, Forlan and Cavani should be deadly enough to get at least 3. Might not be too good a price though.
