Day 14: Netherlands vs USA | Argentina vs Australia (Last 16 1&2)

[FootballHQ]

@giorno will enjoy that one. Not the biggest fan of Matt Ryan IIRC.

 

[Just Hope]

It's not about attacking its about the energy and work rate, they will get out done with better teams just on that and with quality to hurt them in attack unlike Aus and Poland .

Well, they just got a goal from pressing.

 

[Gehrman]

2-0 alvarez

 

[ha_rooney]

Wtf was he doing

 

[#07]

We really could have done with signing Alvarez. Was a low risk buy at less than £20m. Same with Enzo Fernandez.

A pressing striker who can be trusted in front of goal. Chance'd be a fine thing.

 

[Statue of Limitations]

Jeez what a way to end your world cup, awful play.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

That goal was all about Lisandro Martinez. Brilliant player

 

[edcunited1878]

What in the absolute feck was that.

 

[always_hoping]

Game set and match with that goalkeeping gift.

 

[Wayne's World]

Yes Argentina!

 

[FootballHQ]

Deserved. Dancing prick.

He wasn't in goal for that shootout, was the one with the beard instead.

 

[GifLord]

World cup? More like world amatuer's cup

 

[hellhunter]

No wonder the Colts preferred Ehlinger

 

[Zoo]

I would sub Matt Ryan off immediately. Idiot.

 

[wangyu]

Argentina pressed twice and scored twice. I’ll be glad when this terrible Australia finally exits. Amateurs

 

[Vidyoyo]

More like Matt Cryan

 

[bosnian_red]

You can't be doing that in the world Cup ffs

 

[antohan]

Julian Alvarez has been wank this game

Right on cue

 

[Pocho]

Argentina, such a bunch of cheating tw”ts, FIFA refs fall for it every time and there’s no sign of anything changing here.

gooooooaaalllll

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Score-line looks routine but very underwhelming from Argentina.

 

[izec]

Alvarez deserved, has done a lot of work

 

[IFC 1905]

Alvarez clearly has talent but something is missing.

It’s not work rate

 

[avgp_1]

De Paul's work rate is ridiculous

 

[Massive Spanner]

Keeper will rightly get the blame but it was also a crazy back pass. Hoof the thing.

 

[MUnchies]

Dummy goalie trying to be cute playing from the back.

 

[FrankFoot]

Well, they just got a goal from pressing.

Pressing australian defenders...yeah.

 

[Deery]

Shouldn’t allow teams like Australia into the World Cup

 

[bosnian_red]

We missed a beat not getting Alvarez though. Shame. He looks class whenever I see him.

 

[Zen]

David De Gea loves it every time that happens.

 

[giorno]

@giorno will enjoy that one. Not the biggest fan of Matt Ryan IIRC.

He's bad

 

[edcunited1878]

The case overplaying instead of just punting it forward and trying to win the 2nd or 3rd ball. Overcomplicating things against better opponents always gets you in deep shit.

 

[sepulturite]

The two soccer-ite nations going home on the same day? Very good

 

[2mufc0]

Well, they just got a goal from pressing.

More like a gift from Ryan

 

[sebsheep]

Ryan

 

[Smacky The Frog]

2 stupid mistakes by Australian players, 2 goals. Decent finish tbf.

 

[FootballHQ]

Australia's only chance is to bring on Kewell, Viduka and Cahill. Even with them all in their 40s now they'd all probably have more of an impact than the limited attackers they have now.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

He wasn't in goal for that shootout, was the one with the beard instead.

Doh! Of course. I feel dumb now...

 

[Berbasbullet]

Netherlands v Argentina is something worth getting excited about!

 

[V.O.]

"Y'know what'd be the best thing to do here, as a goalkeeper, on the edge of my six yard box... I reckon it's to try and dribble past their whole front line like prime Ryan Giggs"

 

[Gehrman]

Now i want Messi to statpad. So no free penalties!
