- Start date
God Acuna is awful…playing in the mud.
Gotta say I'd rather want LVG to win the World Cup than Messi.
I have a soft spot for LVG. None for Messi.

In terms of overall ability on the ball and vision, there's never been any comparison.
Acuna is tragic
Even if he's human now, he is still wonderful to watch. What a world cup he is having
Messi assists on the pitch, Piers is a little bitch
This tournament I have to stop whatever I'm doing to watch Argentina knowing its his last tournament.
It's the very last world cup for them both, shame France are so rampant and stacked for talent.
England Argentina final would be great though!
Yep. Was thinking the same. Iniesta is defo one of them, Xavi and Ronaldinho also?
Keown and Pearce being amazed by a no look pass like they're both five year olds.
Argentina are always looking better when they have Messi surrounded by hard workers. Their all-stars selections never seem to work.
Acuna is so, so bad.
(watch him contribute to a goal now)

Hot take.
garbage from VVD there
All of those GOAT posts last season when Ronaldo was still scoring for United are now looking a bit silly. Messi is just different gravy as a player. Ronaldo has done tremendously well to even be in the same conversation as him to be fair though.
He’s two and a half years younger tbf
Me too. We might be in the extreme minority wishing that on here though.
Argentina have targeted the right players to press. De Roon, Gakpo have been caught on possession a few times
If you're referring to entertainment value, Netherlands are more dreadful let's be honest, they've largely parked the bus and sprunk counter attacks
Which is normal by his standards.
Finally Argentina looks balanced and dangerous when that pace merchant Di Maria is not playing.
Messi's technical level in this match has been insane. Has not had a ton of the ball but some of the ways he is getting out of tight space is otherworldly. If it opens up he might have some fun in this form.
Messi is such a genius.
I bet ronaldo throw something at the tv when he made that pass.

He always has been
Who's the other one?
Been proper shit all World Cup
Damn, that was one fine pass by Messi. Holland is toothless.
You should not be able to make that pass
LVG vs Di Maria 0:1
Messi shouldnt shoot with his right.
Good luck finding another human that can make a pass like that.
We'll have to take more risks 2nd half and will be murdered.
Always too much drama with Lahoz
Not so sure, that Argentina team isn't exactly stacked with pace
Yeah but he megged him aswell and the weight of pass was incredible. At this level and on this stage it was amazing and anyone being amazed by it is right.
Nasty by Acuna. Give him a red 
Acuna misses next match which is a shame for Croatia
Ronaldo has never, ever, been capable of that kind of vision and pass.
Acuna looks and plays like a low iq thug from prison. he'll probably get another yellow late in the game.
Acuna would miss the semifinal. Can a loss be a win?
