Honestly I love Argentina. Such drama. Crippling pressure, insane fans. Love them.

I actually agree. It is entertaining to watch them struggle to survive

- - - Updated - - -

Croatia have the potential to do very well in this world cup.

-world class midfield

-unlike most top teams they actually seem to be on form and will be riding a wave of confidence after getting 9 points from a tough group

- mandzukic

- had the opportunity to heavily rotate first team today.

- they face denmark next :):lol3::)


They probably wont win but i could see a semi final appearance

IIt was one of the weirdest things. Note that before the match I had picked Portugal and Iran to draw 1-1 -- I expected Portugal to do the lazy thing and just enough to go through second to Spain. But seeing the Iran fans at the stadium, knowing what a big deal it was for the women in Iran to attend stadium matches, I could palpably sense how much even just getting a goal would mean to them. Given that even their only goal thus far was effectively scored by Morocco. And knowing Portugal would still go through on a draw, I was actually kind of rooting for Iran to score the penalty. It was weird.

But don't kid yourself, Hoori. Iran was really never in this match. I'm not saying that as some kind of value judgement or diss. Just that the outcome was really in little doubt throughout. And even the wackiness in the end would have been a complete fluke if somehow that could have been on goal and Patricio would have missed that. It wasn't as nearly as close of a chance as I think the nation wanted to believe.
Portugal was barely in any match two years ago and they won the Euros :p

We had a pretty good second half, Portugal had to waste time towards the end, and we have like 1/100 of talent that Portugal has on their team. This was the first time in the world cup that we went to the third game believing that we could make it happen, which I think is why the players cried after the game. We'd normally be happy that we didn't get trashed, so I loved the attitude. It was fun and unforgettable, the fact that we were that last shot short of going to the next round as the first team of the toughest group in the tournament :D

Congrats on the milestone though. Things were much uglier when we faced each other in 2006 at the group stage. That’s still progress.

Maradona has reportedly been rushed to hospital after the game.
He was having more watches surgically attached?

Well he did look passed out for portions of the match.

Disgusting human being? Lol for getting emotional at a football match, i think that's as human as it gets, your going all ballistic and questioning his humanity over that, not so much.
He is a disgusting human being. Neglecting your child is the definition of being a disgusting human add to that the classless and tacky demeanor, and it's understandable people find him disgusting.

lol for getting all emotional and defensive for a fat has been and drug addict.

I'm sure there are no skeletons in your closet ;) as for the troll parting shot, that only works if people take you half seriously, I'm afraid you have jumped the shark a while now.

I think almost all his issues stem from being a drug addict tbh. I'm all for personal accountability, but many people in this world struggle with substance abuse issues. I can imagine that the problems only intensify when money is not an issue and a country the size of Argentina adores you no matter what.
