Messi just took three players out the game and put the ball on a plate for his team mate.

Brazil haven’t got MacAllister

Martinez feigning injury….hmm now where did I see that last…oh yes last game at the Amex….cheat
The finish was then hilarious
Just said the same thing. Such a cheat - really don’t like this part of football.
Everyone has always time wasted, but the whole injury thing is getting silly.
A win, always in control, no injuries, no bookings, minimal energy expended. That’s perfect tournament management. Absolutely zero point in anything else at this stage.
Brazil have been my favourites since the first game. 20 magicians with the ball, plus they can look after themselves when the inevitable hacking down starts.
They’re far better than England and the rest.
That Argentina defence is being taken apart by anyone decent.
Blimey they nearly did it

Doesn’t change the fact they’ve been bang average, they’ve crept past an Australia team who have a centre back from St Mirren.
They will lose to the first decent team they play.
Messi laid the ball on a plate for Martinez to make it 3, 4, 5 to one. Crap finishing.
I agree.
But like England and England fans, they’re just enjoying the winning moment. If we’d beaten Australia to reach the WC last 8, you’d also never hear the last of it.

I think from what I’ve seen so far, France and Brazil are the favourites, they are the teams who I’ve watched and thought they had another gear that other teams like Argentina, Holland, England etc can’t match
And Brazil can get to the semis by beating Korea and Japan/Croatia
Maybe. But it’s a very open tournament, I haven’t watched Brazil* but every other nation has shown they’re beatable and/or have flaws.
*I’ll defer to @Weststander
That’s the final I see.
France has been trounced in nsc as woefully inferior to us. I guess by people who didn’t watch their first team play and just “hate the Frogs”. Tchouameni and others are the real deal.
Brazil have been fantastic. Their second team last night dominated, and were hacked down in almost every sumptuous attack.
