That was a nice goal

 

[sdifox]

Way to go Argentina...

 

[KMFJD]

Tied by someone's son

 

[sdifox]

Argentina for some reason always has shaky defence

 

[KMFJD]

Iceland defending ok so far

 

[sdifox]

Lol Mascherano had more completed pass than the whole Iceland team

 

[sdifox]

Argentina is not going to get very far again if their defence doesn't shape up.

 

[KMFJD]

wow

 

[sdifox]

No penalty....

 

[sdifox]

Higuain is coming in

 

[sdifox]

Messi shots are pretty bad today

 

[sdifox]

Fuck argentina should have won

 

[KMFJD]

and it's over, that was an iffy no penalty call but they soaked up the pressure pretty good

Messi missing that penalty was the bigger problem.

the ol' smash chair when your team misses penalty

Mexico scores!

 

[sdifox]

Huuuge win for Mexico!

 

[Xcobra]

Brasil vs the Swiss. Uneventful mostly but at least Brasil is up one.

I feel for the Germans (yeah right!). World champions defeated by an underdog. Don't like Mexico but I'm glad they won.

Just realized that the USA and Italy did not qualify to participate in this World Cup.

Neither did Ghana, Ivory Coast, Chile, Netherlands... All strongs teams relatively speaking.

Good header. Looks like the Swiss are getting some momentum.

Damn, I didn't realize that the Netherlands didn't qualify. I do seem to recall Italy not qualifying...that was prior to the US being booted, right? Something like....70 years since Italy was not in the WC?
