Argentina vs Belgium

Sat 5 Jul, 17:00 • Quarter-finals
Estádio Nacional de Brasilia, Brasília

Times are UK.

Bah.

Rohit

Hope the Argies win. Belgium are full of players from Chelsea and Spurs.

Don't want Spurs to win the World Cup.

Think Belgium will do them though. Argentina have been poor.

ebouefan

Wake me up for the penalties.

Segway

Yeah this could easily turn out another borefest. Argentina play some truly horrible stuff with Gago and Mascherano in midfield. Why not play Di Maria there? They really are super dependent on Messi and I think he'll drag them over the line again and into the final even. Shades of Maradona 1986 about this argie team.

Belgium aren't much better with Fellaini and Witsel in midfield so yawn

This-

Same reason France can't win.

Bold Tone

My thinking as well.
Can't stand the French keeper and Vertonghen!
I don't think Gago and Mascherano in midfield are not the main problems for Argentina.
Their CB, Rojo, is shit but luckily, for them, he got injured and may be replaced.
Upfront, Di left foot only Maria is Messi's only help.
I think the US game has helped Belgium find their best team and the Argies are in trouble if Aguero is still out.

Qwiss

I think Rojo has done well. And he's a right back.

lorddulaarsenal

Rojo is suspended now is he not?

Looks a good player anyhow

Argentina should have taken Banega

Biggus

Romero is shit, he couldn't catch a cold he's more scared of crosses than Dracula.

Clrnc

Somehow I want Belgium to win this, the Argies are utterly boring this world cup.

Bold Tone

And Belgium aren't?

Kel Varnsen

Belgium played some great football yesterday. Hope they win.

I don't get it. We've got more players in the France team than Spurs do.

Biggus

But Doloris is the capi, he will lift the cup if they win.

flobaba

😆 Ridiculousness.

Bold Tone

This what happens when you dont have a proper reason to support either team.

Rex

I am supporting the Argies here. I think Di Maria is wonderful and the doped up midget is pretty good too. The Belgians have waaaaay to many scummy spurs players anyway, so it's not as if the choice is hard either. How can you support a team with Kompany, Chadli, Dembele and Vertonghen?

arsedocmd

is aguero gonna play?

kamikaze

belgium need to bench fellaini. he destroys any semblance of rhythm they have in midfield, and he hardly ever takes advantage of his physicality.

argies should focus on the wings. alderwiereld is awful - just get the ball to di maria over and over again. messi should destroy vertonghen as well.

Agreed on Fellaini. Prefer Dembele or Defour, although the latter won't be in the coach good books now after the sending off.
