As I said, Argentina are like Italy: when it's straightforward they can't get the job done, but when they have to scratch and claw they're going to drag themselves across the line on bloodied stumps
He should keep his trap shut The ref was appalling and in that he is correct. However the main beneficiary of his poor decisions was Argentina - Messi particularly, who could have been carded 3 times. Both sets of players contributed to the farce however and will no doubt be sanctioned over the coming days. How a 22 man brawl can be let go unpunished is beyond me. But there again, this is the FIFA and the most ridiculous of WC's....
Get in, Morocco! Keeper should get it but that’s some ****ing leap to head that. I know you can’t fairly judge on World Cup alone but I have not been impressed with Costa in goal for Portugal and considering he’s been someone strongly linked with us, I’d be pretty wary on the displays we’ve seen.
So are we hoping Morocco hold on to prove Pele right about an African team reaching the semis (albeit a decade later than he predicted), or are we hoping they hold on as Rapenaldo's annus horibilius is ****ing hilarious to watch?
My money is on the "cosmic joker" , if Portugal win, ensuring England beat France so CR7 can repeat in the SFs his WUM master-class of 2006.
