Hope the ref gets an early grip on this game, the argentinians will be aiming to stop robben and co by any means and in de Bong holland have a in house neadertal. Lets hope nastyness doesnt spoil what potentially could be a great game.Imo Holland are the better all round team and defensively the argies have been vunerable but if messi turns it on the argies will win. which way will it go. ? i'm going holland.

The Argies really don't have any leg breaking blue meanies anymore, outside of Mascherano. I'm sure they will try to play tough but they are not a heavy fouling crew. Rojo and Enzo Perez can be a bit nasty at times. Zabaleta is not afraid of a challenge.

This is a kinder, gentler Argentina squad, built around Messi and their talented strikers, a hard working but not extremely talented midfield, and Mascherano as the defensive workhorse and, if need be, enforcer.

Not many divers either, outside of Di Maria who is in sick bay anyhow.

No Simeone's or Gabriel Heinze's.

yep leg breakers are defo a thing of the past, and yep they are reliant/built around messi but if you think the machoness/ red mist w wont take over if robben snieder vp ect start exposing/exploiting the defensive gaps that have been showing, your kidding yourself. anyway lets hope its a.good game.

I think it's possible we might see a repeat of last night, but not on quite such a grand scale.

European nouse v S America.

Dunno.

van Gaal knows his onions. RVP major loss.

I'd go Argentina tbh.

This guy susceptible to red mist ?! Nah.

so u seriousely reckon a upset stomack is gonna keep vp out.of leading his country in a world.cup semi final ? he'll start.

No way to know until the game starts. I will say that you could name a bushel full of teams at this WC who have done a lot more kicking than Argentina. Don't know if it will happen tonight. Stay tuned.

This game could potentially be decided by the referee.

Robben will be on top form. Guarantee it.

and u can be assured the argies will have 2 if not 3 on him and if he goas past 2 he wont go past the 3 rd, fairly or not.has to be seen but read that article he more or less tells u their/his intention

I can see 2 possibilities.

1. Both sides get away with murder.

2. Ref is dealing yellow and red cards faster than cool hand Luke.

Brother-in-Law predicts Argentina 2-Holland 1.

So after last night's spectacle, I am fully prepared to expect ANYTHING.

Messi star quality, total and utter magic would be fitting.

Deep down we all knew it.

haha.

Yep. Love to see Neymar play for Moyes.

Don't get too cocky about Brazil's failure Jelly.

It ain't right and proper.

If your team Argentina win, fair play.

Making fun of Moyes, not Brazil, and as I often used to tell the ex, "please don't tell me what to do".

We've all had our fun with Moyes.

End of.

Prandelli got the Galatasaray job cos they didn't want Moyes.

Scolari won the World Cup.

Respect.

God, I'm loving this.

Surprised you don't support the Germans then schadenfreude.

Yep. That figures.

Can we expect another one of your digging through posts exhibitions to feed your juvenile "I've been offended" paranoia ?

Feeling good Jelly. You have got lots of likes for this one.

Nope.

Just putting your recent post in context.

Had the same issue with my ex, UNBELIEVABLE at first i thought it was to be kind and helpful,and i'm sure there was an element of that in it

but the overall thing was that they really thought they knew better and were better than u

I'm asking jellydog not to be disrespectful to Scolari.

Hence his reference to my paranoia.

Read that request as a plea or an instruction.

Jelly seems to read it as an instruction.

Up to him.

But he's definitely got a highly developed schadenfreude inside him.

If I was polite I would call him a little female dog.

Blocked again. I mistakenly lifted the veil recently. Just as ugly as ever.

I'm watching the game now and i'm pissing my sides at these Brazilians fans crying like girls.

Very sporting of them to burn their own country's flag and Ney-ma shirts

and screw Big Phil P-4

SCHLAND!!

Obviously not just a little female dog, but a dangerous little female dog.

Dunno mate. You might feel differently if you have been there.

I can say from the bottom of my heart I would feel exactly the same. The 5th has just gone in and I need a tissue

You don't know if you haven't tried it Bob.

Rio is about as far away from Germany as a beach in Phuket.
