3-0 Argentina

 

[ajspurs]

Iheanacho annoyingly slow twice there.

 

[Danners9]

Nice finish.

 

[werty]

Yes!

Great ball by Banega. First time Messi has run without the ball at his feet.

 

[ajspurs]

The two touches to perfectly set himself up there from not the easiest ball were fantastic.

 

[tiger666]

Get in

 

[Gb160]

Diego's definitely been on the disco powder.

 

[Marty]

Messi to bail them out again, yet they still think he doesn't do enough for the national side.

 

[Shadydan]

I celebrated that like an England goal.

 

[mpickard2087]

Great goal. The pass, the control, then the finish were all top drawer.

 

[HildoSpur]

That was fucking glorious

 

[heelspurs]

Yes!

Great ball by Banega. First time Messi has run without the ball at his feet.

Yeah, it's a good thing Sampaoli saw fit to sit him the first 2 games.

 

[Gbspurs]

I celebrated that like an England goal.

Why?

 

[Marty]

Nigeria keeper almost knocked cold. Total accident but that could be nasty.

 

[Ben1]

The team building around messi is mystifying to me. They aren't eygpt or Wales, they have other quality players. It seems to be that they'd be better off naming the best team and slotting messi in, than changing everything for messi. Example 1: Banega in midfield.

 

[heelspurs]

Higuain bottled a chance in a big game. What are the odds?

 

[Marty]

Oh he's up. Never mind then.

 

[cwy21]

An Iceland goal will be tasty right now. It'd require Argentina to score again and could open it up for a Nigeria counter.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Why is he still on the floor?

 

[Shadydan]

Why?

Cause I like Messi, dunno I'm just wierd like that lol
