He just seems like the most obvious Galactico signing since the original Galacticos.

Surely he'll end up a Real player soon?

This is going to be a scrappy affair, this Arg v. Mexico game. Lots of physical play i think.

Araujo a little lucky that was only yellow imo. 

Argentina's shape is so weird. Nobody in central midfield is dropping back to pick up the ball

We should award some Emmys at half time

Argentina look awful. No central midfield play at all. Ball is played out wide to wingers and full backs who are completely isolated and easy to defend.

Well played Messi, that was an iconic World Cup moment. Needed that big time for legacy debate.

Alvarez has to play. Only Argentinian player who actually moves off the ball.

Wow, nice shot by Fernandez. 2-0. Messi assist

He's a very good footballer. Seen him few times for Benfica in the CL this season and he really impressed me.

Argentina better use their last game to figure something out. They look really jaded, and at risk to lose to any decent team.

Argentina don’t seem to be creating many high probability chances. Good goals today but fundamentally the team seems past it - not just Messi

Enzo’s not past it. Wish we could get our hands on him. But highly doubt Benfica sell him. They just got him back, and will probably want to use him for about 2 years as they did Nunez. And like that transfer, the number will be mad.

Everyone in Oz so stoked to have won a game again - last one was in 2014. We're certainly not the best - based on hard work with a smattering of quality - but it shows what the World Cup means to countries like ours who take such pride in the small successes. Feel a bit for Tunisia who are still waiting for their first win.

Now if we somehow grind out / fluke a point v Denmark we will go through.

I can't believe that Costa Rica (who got killed by Spain) beat Japan (who beat Germany). This world cup is crazy with some of the results.

Why have Japan benched their best players?
