All the people wondering why Messi gets all the hype? There is your answer... Say no more, say no more...
Man. I was getting ready to go party with my Persian friends tonight. I was going to have them pay for everything too. Now not so much.
Well he didn't win all those golden balls for nothing... Ah well. If I were Argentine, my confidence level would be taken down a notch or two. This team isn't right. The mix isn't right. Messi's not going to win it himself 7 straight times.
I feel sorry for the Persians though. How they fell on their knees when that ball entered... this game, they gave it their all. Very entertaining match, actually.
91 minutes to score. Persia had so many men back, why not step out that second line and cut off the shot? Argentina have played very similarly to Spain in the last Euro. Just good enough, but they wont get past any of the elite teams with this kind of performance.
I wanted to look up Palacio up to see how old he was since I was sure he was over 30. And I found out that, according to Wikipedia, he places got the Indian National team.
If South Korea win tomorrow against Algeria, they will still have a good chance. Iran will now most likely have to beat Bosnia to have any chance... not totally impossible, but they don't seem to be the best team to have to take it to an opponent.
