    I can't actually bring myself to watch Argentina in this tournament.

    He's a phenomenal player but every touch he makes draws hyperbole from everywhere. Fair enough, go overboard for the truly great strikes etc. But often they rave like he's scored a wonder goal when he scores from the edge of the box - which happens hundreds of times every weekend.

    He probably farts marshmallows the way they go on about him. Lineker is probably the worst for it. Absolutely licking his hoop.

    Is it just my eyes or is the pitch cutting up a bit? It looks a bit ropey to me

    I am warming to this Agrentina side. Wasnt convinced at all before the tournament, but they look well organised side now.

    I thought that in the final group games mate. They are taking some hammer, but dont seem to be holding up that well at all. Lots of shade maybe.

    This one looks very dodgy so early in a major tournament. I know the stadiums all have roofs on but I would have expected them to be like carpets all the way through the tournament with all the technology involved it it.

    Miles away, what's Messi shooting from there for the bellend, just play it simple and slide your teammate in. Awful stuff.

    Almost got the Aussies.

    They’ve done well at this World Cup.

    Many thought they’d get battered every game

    If only Messi had turned up at the other 4 World Cups, we wouldn't have this ****athon in every media outlet. Infact, I'm getting a bit board of the English media hyping every ****er else up and ****ting on everything Southgate and the team do. "It was only Iran", "we were ****e against America" then it was "Poor Wales, we're so sorry". They all probably hope Senegal do us tomorrow so they can get right behind Messi. It'll be a very tough game but I'd like to think we'd have enough to win tomorrow. The only pundit I've seen with some passion for England is Alan Shearer.

    I expect a 2 or 3 nil win for France but the way things have gone so far, Poland could pull out a performance from nowhere and provide the shock of the tournament.

    I'd love an upset in this one but France have looked superb. Can't see anything other than a comfortable France win, if they get an early goal it could get very messy for Poland with the French front 3.
