Definitely but I'm not wrong? I can't put my finger on what because he seems to have all the tools and yet something isn't there.
Day 14: Netherlands vs USA | Argentina vs Australia (Last 16 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Enzo Fernandez with a great set of falsies there. Even his grimace didn’t look genuine as he flashed a set of chompers brighter than Amad Diallo’s future
What was the mistake for the first goal? Not clearing the corner?
Nice Jinx
Alvarez has a lot of Tevez in him. Huge workrate and maybe lacking some of the finesse you would expect at times.
Yes which comes from a keeper trying to be a press resistant counter sweeper keeper.
Both goals were very preventable.
Really silly mistakes.
Really silly mistakes.
Conceding that stupid freekick
That's the sub keeper. He would have double stepped on the ball and make the two Argies crash into each other.
Game over, Australia doesn't have the quality to trouble Argentina, all they can do is defend
Very predictable outcome.
Netherlands-Argentina should be a better game.

Doesn't look like a cromagnon.
Argentina pressing like maniacs now
Hear hear!!!The two soccer-ite nations going home on the same day? Very good
All the good surprises of the WC will be dispatched in this round of games
They surely will. USA gave them some problems
England
So far they created next to nothing
It did get cleared initally. Guy got frustrated because Messi had pushed him over the toucline and then just barged into nearest Argentine.
Ultimately Aussies just don't have the tools to hurt Argentina in full third, the Dutch potentially do if they can play through quickly enough.
I totally agree with you
Enzo Fernandez is Brilliant.
So calm in possession.
So calm in possession.
Messi turning back the clock
Messi is still very good
That was almost prime Messi right there
Butcher with some typically slick passing.
Yeah, that’s possibly a factor and for shirt tops I can see that, especially in the longer stands… but that wouldn’t explain the volume and when they just scored the second, that entire end looked like Argentinian fans (not just people with tops)?
Really have got great support… not 78 final support (which was mental) but very very good. The fans have helped make this World Cup… the passion, devotion, colour, tears. It’s been great so far and Im hoping with the quarters onwards that the playing team‘s fans get more and more tickets.
Messi Goat. Feck the haters
Messi is just toying with the Aussie defense now. Great to see.
Man of the match for me
Helluva run Messi
OMG Messi's still so amazing!
Just enjoy him you fools, will never see the like again.
THE GOAT + ENZO FERNANDEZ = ORGASM
Wow almost Messi
The leftback trying to get into it with Messi when Argentina were practically comatose and then immediately conceding the dumb freekick that led to the goal.
That run was class.
Why the feck is Messi going to the MLS, when he can easily play 2 more years at the top level.
The way they've been playing it'll come down to who makes a mistake first. Both seem happier to play into space rather than create it, or capitalise on opposition errors. Messi will probably win the game down to one moment of individual brilliance while they try to outs-thouse each other.
Almost Messi. His little old legs gave way at the end, but that was so good.
Messi really wants to score a few more here
Makes you wonder why he wasn't a starter from the first game
