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?

They were resting them for Spain match as they wanted to top the group... lol. Classic Japan really too gung-ho. Even a draw would have probably seen them through.

Reminds me of the early Wenger Emirates days, all possession and can't score but the opponent just need 1 chance in the dying seconds to snatch it

Yep, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. That's a familiar theme with us over the last number of years. Lol.

I like the look of this Morocco team. Would quite like to see them beat this Belgium team. Belgium are badly in need of a refresh. Not impressed with them wheeling out the likes of Vertonghen and Aldereiweld.

Yeah, Beligum look awful. Morocco well deserved winners.

Belgium should've had 0 points and be out by now. They're lucky to still have a chance.

Not a good result for the Canadians

Wow, that was a fast goal. That's incredible for Canada. They are not really here just to make up the numbers. At least so far.

Canada looks like the better team so far

OK, they did look like the better team. Croatia has come into the game nicely, and have scored the equalizer (Kramaric)

........and there it is. 2-1 Croatia. They've stepped up their game and get the second right before half.
