The Argentina manager is an imbecile but that doesn't make him an exception on the international stage.
I hope they lose with a last-minute howler from Otamendi

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
There will be at least one shock in the Round of 16. Who is your money on?

Australia's manager looks like a washed up opera singer suffering from severe alcoholism
Hope Australia can take it to penalties and win.
I agree, but the Federation is slow to make important decisions like this. The expectations and demand has to start at the USMNT manager position. They can set the tone and just like the Olympics, focus on the development and coaching for the next 4 years which will set the foundation moving forward. But I don't believe in the Federation, they are up their own asses.
Can see Argentina bottling this. They always do right?
Argentines are the best singers in Football, by far.
Actually i think they have won the tournament on two occasions. I believe you are thinking of the Dutch?
I think England might go through.
With how bad USA were today I don't think we are favourites.
Tuesdays games seem the most likely now Netherlands are through. So Morocco or Switzerland (not even sure Switzerland would count as an upset though, not counting Japan because that definitely wouldn’t be an upset this tournament)
Japan v Croatia
Portugal v Switzerland
Their supporters are incredible. Not surprising as the country seems to breathe football.Argentines are the best singers in Football, by far.
Lot more shape to the Ozzies compared to USA - will take something special to open them up
Gomez' shot hitting the James Webb telescope.
Can’t create. De Paul is like playing with -1
England vrs Senegal
Morocco vrs Spain
Look at San Lorenzo fans songs, it's amazing the lyrics are funny and the rhythm is perfect. As a player I would be dancing on the pitch.
I know Argentina haven't created anything yet but this game just feels like we are waiting for the inevitable Argentina opener.
Argentina are very pedestrian in possession.
We might see the replay in 6 months.
Stoke City's Harry Souttar v PSG's Lionel Messi.
The stuff of dreams. We are living in special times.

similar to the game vs Poland. can't create shit atm yet there is only winner in the end.
England Spain Portugal could all be vulnerable to a sucker punch
Hear hear!
As much as I like Bruno and Dalot, I think Switzerland is the most realistic. They almost beat Spain at the Euros after dealing with France.
Just an all-round solid team who can take advantage of the expected Portugese brainfart.
Second bet is on Morocco because they match up well with sandmen of football
we have a huge opportunity with the age of this group to make a big move forward and that will only come iwht a new manager and the federation pushing for a big player pool and better development of players. You know you're qualified already and it's being played in the states. You HAVE to do what is right when you are putting on the show in your home country.
Who's the broad on the Fox telecast? Foudy?
Australia got some good passing going.
Much better team than Poland!
C’mon ‘Roos!!!
Morocco Spain
Papu Gomez selection isn't working.
Good start for Australia. They have looked comfortable
Australia playing nice. Very good defensive set up. Not giving an inch to Argentina. This is how you prepare for a big match. US coach totally fecked up from the start.
To no surprise
If you tuned into football for the first time, you'd think Australia are the favourite here. Argentina are doing nothing
Argentina look to be lacking energy. Flat game with not much going on.
Not a bad showing from Scotland B. Just need to make sure any of their players have a sudden brainfart.
How big is that pitch? Players look small.
He gets through a lot of work tbf.
There is no width in this line up
