I would like a pint of whatever Diego has been drinking, but fear a shot glass full would kill me....

Does anyone know why I wanted Argentina to lose that so much? Is it because Mascherano/Maradona are twats? Is it because of the media fawning over Messi and therefore assuming I wanted them to qualify? I can't put my finger on it but.. Gutted.
In this instance I think the fawning over Messi is justified.... he's a genius, albeit in football, as opposed to say art/music/literature/drama/science or philosophy. Enjoy him while you can.... |

Not entirely convinced although they are as ridiculous over Ronaldo and Neymar which in turn makes those teams rartyher irritating as well. Listening to them wittering about Messi and watching him play last night got me thinking about some of the comments about Ronaldo the other night. It was the usual wank fest, but one of the summarisers said 'the problem is that Ronaldo runs at you and as a defender once he is in the box you cannot touch him'. Probably an unpopular opinion, but this is where I have a problem with those who make out that Ronaldo is the best player of all time, he is undoubtedly fucking skillful, but a large part of the game he plays is to run fast and then if he is even touched fall over (especially if he is in the box), now that possibly says more about the fact that football is a non contact game these days (it is nigh impossible to even cleanly tackle someone and not make some sort of contact), but its comparing apples and pears to compare him to players in the 60's and 70's who basically got the shit kicked out of them. |

Sadly he is not the only one who does this. |

That goal was genius, no doubt about it. Like all great players he made it look easy when it was anything but. The commentary with all it's annoying hubris/hype or whatever you want to call it just goes over my head. I just judge teams and players on their own merits. |

Wouldn't surprise me to see an Argentina vs Germany final (I expect some anorak will now tell me that can't happen) |

Got a feeling Serbia could do a number on Brazil.

And if Germany score and win 1-0, Mexico are out.
Unless Mexico score but lose 2-1, then they go through on goals for. I think.
Love the world cup

Just been working this out myself. If Germany win 1-0 and Sweden win 2-1 then Germany are still out. |
