Mikey1874 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Good clash - Iran parking bus again. Argentina one of favourites for tournament and my personal favourites outwith Scotland. Won the last time the World Cup was held in South America. History could repeat itself if Argentina beat Brazil in final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 In these games is there any viewing pleasure if Argentina are three up at the break? I don't need to see goals in his one. I want a shock, however remote the chances of that are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory House M.D. Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Awful, awful game. Messi looks like he'd rather be anywhere but on that pitch. Turning in a lazy passionless display. Swanning about with an arrogance that says "I don't need to do shit things like defend or run". It's no wonder that he'll never be a Diego Maradona in Argentina.

Gregory House M.D. Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Argentina are awful. For the quality of their forwards they are utterly toothless. They need to take Messi off and stick Lavezzi on at HT because Messi is a waste of a jersey in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Khali Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The front three have been pap. Di Maria, although seeing a lot of the ball, has done **** all with it.

Does it not tire you out? It's not that bad ffs. Iran are putting in a brave show. Good times for Iranians right now, a re-welcoming into the International fold, a sensible president* and you can see the team are playing with pride.

Not that I give a toss about rooney or messi but comparing performances against one of the best teams in europe and iran seems ever so slightly ridiculous. Especially given rooney had made a goal by this stage That said the messi criticism is a nonsense as well and as TPC has said Iran should be applauded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he isn't. The usual stuff though, Messi plays a few five yard passes and loses the ball constantly and is doing "Ok", Rooney gets the assist for Englands goal does generally well outwith defensively in a foreign position to him and he is shite.

Done nothing, looks disinterested, wandering about not even attempting to find space, losing the ball a lot of the time he takes a man on. Anyway, Iran denied a penalty there.
