Match #8 - Argentina v. Saudi Arabia

That ankle of Messi looks very swollen (or maybe its just bandages??)

Lionel Messi insists he 'feels very good' and only trained on his own as a precaution | Daily Mail Online

 

Messi could play using a walker and Argentina would still beat the Saudis.

 

But he could also aggravate the injury more.
Maybe the smart move is to rest him for SA game??

 

Nice boots

 

In

 

setting my alarm for 4:45 AM. Let's go.

 

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!! ❤️

 

Crowd is gonna be crazy. Jealous of anyone with tickets. Heard this was one of the hardest to get

 

You know he'll be watching.

 

Well well here we go!!! Insane atmosphere in the stadium!!

VAMOSSSSS

 

Kinda cool, I can literally see the stadium from my bedroom window (on the left there), but glad to give it a rest after 2 days of games.... hopefully will see both these teams later...

 

Christ, this is going to be another one of those, isn't it.

 

Saudi actually play better than Qatar.

 

Honestly, I wish we could get just one non-UEFA or Conmebol win. Really bad showing from AFC so far. Was talking to Saudi fans on the bus from Al Thumama Stadium yesterday and they said they will lose by 5 or 6 goals but were upbeat about it. Mind you Renard is a good coach, won the AFCON with Zambia so maybe he's got Saudi doing something this time....

 

Ok for the penalty but why England didn't get one yesterday in the exact same situation at 0-0?

 

I don't think the Saudis are being that rough.

The Argentines seem to just be flopping at any touch.

Kind of annoying.

 

Did the referee not get the signal from VAR to check? Shouldn't take that long.

 

welcome to planet earth

 

At this rate Saudi players will be exhausted in second half.

 

that was tasty

This World Cup probably won't break the goals per game scored record. However, it will probably break the disallowed goals per game record...

 

so lauturo's arm was offside?

 

I guess his arm up to his shoulder was off. That had to be the most razor-thin margin I've ever seen for an offside.
