Argentina with their lack of balance and ageing squad are huge underdogs. It's hard not to root for them. I think it's been a fiercely contested game and Brazil have not really dominated too much. Alves did amazing for the goal but other than that, it's been fairly even in the final thirds.

Argentina have no midfield.

They struggle to pass between the lines so much.

Would be shocked if they got back in this game.
With this pitch even Busquets-Xavi-Iniesta would have a tough time tbf especially with Casemiro who is one of the best players at covering the spaces between the lines. Brazil are having the same problem, the ball bounces all over the place.

Paredes is by far the worst player on the pitch. Honestly you can see why PSG are rumoured to be looking to sell already. What a clown.
He's so average.

Mentioned it before but Barrios looks much better, Zenit got a great deal selling Paredes and replacing him for much less with Barrios.

I don't understand the state of the pitches all tournament. Absolutely terrible and not helping anyone play decent passing football.

This match will be won by Brazil just by virtue of being the slightly less awful team.

These two teams are trash, I'd back any top euro team to beat them comfortably.

Messi off the post. So close! Aguero should have been ready for the tap in when the ball came in as well.

Aguero's lack of anticipation for the cross coming in from Messi after the shot after the post was piss poor. It was a tap in if he'd anticipated and reacted quicker.

Argentina deserve an equaliser here but they won't get it.

Argentina have been surprisingly good this half. Playing far far better than anything else this tournament.

Brazil need a sub, why are both Jesus and Firmino still on the pitch? Bring on Fernandinho and park the bus

Brazil have become almost long ball merchants... Shockingly poor. Fancy Chile to win it on this showing.
