The clear favourites for this, beating a poor team (bar Messi) with an awful defence:

I wonder if all 8 round 2 games will see all the bigger guns go through?

Underdogs winning will help England later, if we get through.

At the moment Spain and France still the best teams.

I'd like to see them in the semis. Excellent squads. As for underdogs helping England, I think wanting that is an admission that we need help to progress. I don't enjoy that. If we're not good enough we shouldn't be there.

I prefer his Taverna waiter outfit to today’s sporty number though.

Danny Murphy, "people forget Messi's a great passer of the ball". Who forgets that? Someone who knows nothing about football?

France have turned up, now that the serious part of the competition begins.

How can this clown in charge of Argentina pick a totally dog shit player like Di Maria while he has Aguero sitting on the bench?

You'd get a bit pissed off if you were Sergio Aguero. Left on the bench at Man City way too often. Ditto for Argentina. What Gives?

This game is so much better than the niggly borefest that I was worried we might have had to put up with.

Brilliant stuff.
