Where did I say I dislike him? I just find the fawning over certain players when the haven't done anything of note tiresome. Messi hasn't turned up, once again, for the Argies ... and according to Murphy it's because of the players around him. No personal responsibility.

Indeed

They keep banging on about poor Messi not got good players around him blah blah weep weep. Ffs he has done **** all and been bang average

Not got good players around him :lol:

Higuain
Aguero
Dybala
Mascherano
Otamendi
Benega
Di Maria
Rojo

All have won major trophies at club level. They just have a crap manager. Got to final of last World Cup and were simply the 2nd best team vs other serial winners.

How can Argentina not start with Aguero?

I don't get the Argentinian thinking. How can you start without either Aguero or Higuain? And if your game plan is to build the team around Messi why play him in a position where he doesn't get the ball? As soon as Aguero came on and Messi started playing deeper he got on the ball and started having an influence on the game.

Still, it's lovely to see the dirty argies played off the park and out of the tournament.

France look rather useful though - they'd play England off the park. Still, we can't meet them till the final and there's plenty that can happen before then.

They're ominously good.

The only player we have that would make their team is Kane for Giroud. I'm not sure we have many that would even make their squad.

Incredible to think that they’d take 10 out of 11 places in a best of team.

Have we fallen that far? Or are countries like France so much better at football than the English?

The Argies quite frankly were not as good as I expected them to be,but still managed 3 goals against some very naive defending.We would have torn them a new one!
