World Cup 2022 Netherlands v United States, Argentina v Australia - Saturday 3rd

[FriendsDontLie]

Argentina have the look of a turn up team here

Messi doesn’t get on the ball often enough for me.

Maradona wanted it all the time and would drop back to take the ball off the defence then drive at opponents in trying to make something happen.

Messi just seems to hang around waiting on somebody giving him the ball in the final third.

That’s the difference for me.

Messi is 35 now.

Maradona was 33 when he last played for Argentina not really fair to compare them at this stage of Messi's career.

Who does the boy Souttar play for?

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Hardly a vintage Argentina side this, is it.

 

[Jelle1880]

Who does the boy Souttar play for?

Stoke

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

It’s a measure of just how shite our league is.

We don’t coach skills in Scotland. We coach brute strength.

And it’s truly horrific refereeing and 19th Century Terrorists running the game that has caused this.

My Dad always said, if you put them in charge of anything they’ll ruin it.

 

[Pol1_]

Game needs a goal

 

[Bluebeard]

Who does the boy Souttar play for?

Stoke City. Massive bluenose more so than John.

Yep, this, it could come back to haunt them.

 

[Bluebeard]

Argentina have the look of a turn up team here

Agreed. Need to up the onte big time

 

[ca100]

Stoke City. Massive bluenose more so than John.

There's a pic doing the rounds of him in seville with Jordan Thompson.

Argentina haven't started here at all.

 

[Tino_Col]

Austrailia really doing themselves proud this WC.

Shows what some organisation, belief and good attitude can do. Considering they're mainly shite.

 

[Ambiorix]

I've seen walking football teams with more urgency than this Argentina side.

 

[Avalonpark]

My Dad always said, if you put them in charge of anything they’ll ruin it.

Yes, trouble is now they are in positions of power everywhere

Aussies are pinned back by the Argie passing game.

 

[Pirlo]

Yeah the Argies won’t be going too much further in this competition.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Corned beef piece at half time

Typhoid for tea!

 

[Japandroid]

Hearing Peter Drury talking about Dingwall and Paisley isn't what I was expecting during this game.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

I've seen walking football teams with more urgency than this Argentina side.

Strange performance so far

 

[Pol1_]

Mooy looks a wrong un

 

[rossgers]

Australia won't have an effort on target unless it goes to penalties.

 

[Dylanbear]

Messi is 35 now.

Maradona was 33 when he last played for Argentina not really fair to compare them at this stage of Messi's career.

Maradona was out his tits on cocaine when playing for Argentina at that age.

 

[Avalonpark]

Game needs a few tackles to liven it up

 

[top_cat]

Yeah the Argies won’t be going too much further in this competition.

They look so pedestrian, as if they are entitled to this win, you know what?
I hope the Aussies win.

Edit: I'm a cock

 

[Pirlo]

Messi does it again

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Messi....yaaasss!

 

[Puggy]

1-0 Messi

[strathavenbear]

Well worked goal

 

[Hillheadbear]

Goal Messi

 

[the_baron]

Messi doing what he does. Brilliant.

 

[Big Hepy]

nice wee man

 

[ItsInTheNet]

There it is from the man himself!

 

[Avalonpark]

That’s the Messi special

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

What a player

 

[jones65]

Superb goal messi

 

[Truelightblue]

That's why you don't wind up the the 2nd best GOAT behind Ronaldo.

 

[OnTheWay]

Only so much you can do when that wee shagger is in the opposition. How many times have we seen that finish? Incredible.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Goat

 

[Jamiegatami]

That free kick was a well worked set piece, Messi knew what he was doing from taking the free kick, great goal.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Feel like I've seen Messi score that type of goal 1000 times!

 

[Bluebeard]

Wel done wee Lionel. Hopefully open the game up now. Such a good wee player

 

[thornhill bear]

nicegoal, game over perhaps

 

[Hillheadbear]

Second time Baccus has gone through a player.

 

[rossgers]

Argies fans are good value

 

[BluebellGirl]

Some player.

 

[cairngorm]

Feel like I've seen Messi score that type of goal 1000 times!

Was thinking exact same, incredible amount of similar goals hes scored

 

[Georgethegersfan]

Typhoid for tea!

A burnt weeny sandwich

 

[Hallers]

Aussie's done so well but surely the Argies get a couple here now?

 

[Simply a Bear]

Danny Murphy will be proposing to Messi after the game.
