    i think we have very good players in attack , and average in defense but we havent problems in any match until now. Every match we deserved to win and in every match we kicked a lot to goal and we have the possesion of the ball and the other team just defended with 11 players and we must win every match becasue we have Messi ( and here in my country everyone who don t know about football but now everyone speak about , expect to win 5-0 every match and expect that Messi socred 4 goals eluding 7 players !!! )

    No one showed more than Argentina until now ( excepted Colombia ) ..that don t mean that i love how are we playing ...i say that is a WC and the only important thing is to win and better if you can play good

    Yeah ofcourse its hard to break through a wall of defenders, same goes for Belgium for example. But they look stronger in the defence, Argentina was really lucky yesterday they didn't lost. I think, excuse me if I forgot chances, that Switserland got the best chanches.

    Also Iran and Nigeria got some good chances against Argentina too. I wouldn't be suprised if Belgium or Holland will take those chances and elliminate Argentina. On the other hand, if Messi, Higuain and Di Maria have a good day it could also be an easy victory. Pressure on Messi is too high indeed, everything has to come from him.

    Don't know if they showed more or less but they just don't look as sollid as France, Holland and most of the time Germany in the back.

    Lost against Nig , Iran or Swi ?

    in the game of suppositions everything is possible ...those matches we were close to win 3-0 than lose them ...of course is football and the others play too and they have chances but none that happened so ?
    we don t know what would happend if Iran scored ..maybe they could relaxed and Arg scored 5 in 10 minutes ... so understand that where everything could happen , everything could happened . We don t know . The real thing is that in every match Arg played deserved the win and even with that you could go home , but i m sure that is not a chaos

    What i think in a game with a rival who attack us will be a tennis score like 6-3 or 6-4 . Just becasue we have a good team to score many goals but we have a weak defense . Let s see waht happen in the future ...

    About the others ... Germany was close to lose agaisnt Ghana and it wasn t a good match agaisnt Algeria ...the same with Holland ...against Australia and Mexico ...and France coudn t win to Ecuador and they have to work a lot to beat a weak Nigeria ( we played agaisnt them and i saw how wrong they defend and the poor attack they have)
  3. So happy to see American defeat.
  4. I've had so much delight seeing the USA reach this stage, for me it was a shame to see them go.

  5. Haha I had network problems and thought I put my predictions on the clipboard. But it were only the marches. I updated the post yesterday

  6. Indeed. They've shown such fighting spirit. It'll be interesting to see them in Russia next time. Some of the veterans on the team will probably not still be there. Klinsmann is under contract to still be there, will be very interesting to see what he's done if he's still there.
  7. yes they were a very good test in target shooting for Belgium

  8. Haha, it could have been 4-0 indeed. But on the other hand, if in the last minute that ball from USA goes in they are through.
  9. Brazil vs. Netherlands

    A final showdown between Brazil and the Netherlands throws up an interesting contrast: the World Cup's most successful team against the best to have never won it


    Yeah sure, Brazil is the best team of the Cup.
    Just which one have they seen?
