    Argentina played for a penalty as always. Let’s hope he misses….

    I have to say I'm so glad I'm able to use a VPN to watch alt broadcasts, I've had to watch 1 on the dreaded BBC & 1 on itvx, the droning whinging pommes that are the broadcasters ruined it, moaning about drinks breaks, the wonderful Mexican waves…even the historic stadium that Mexico played south korea in…mocking its volcano history.

    they 100% were biased towards Korea.

    very poor from these "weak" stations…

    anyhowz ….. I'm still sticking with Columbia to win.

    Careful with your language on different countries. How you watch your football is up to you, but leave MSN out and which country you hate.

    I don't hate any countries - the bias towards Korea was evident.

    oh also pommes my mom & her family lived in austrila for a couple of years, my half brother was concieved there, his father (moms husband - I have a very confusing family) helped buidl one of the major highways there.

    it was a jokey name for people who moved there & moaned about the ehat,food etc

    zero more or less other than a jokey observation

    sorry got that wrong - my moms family helped build a parts of the highway infrstructure there, her husnad flew back & forth from there as I have 2 older half bros, I came along way later to a differing man.

    Argentina played better and deserved to win, but I do wish they had less dives and play acting.

    I wish it wasn't so Messi focussed, I had to watch the game on mute because of the bias of the commentators.

    I'm looking forward to England's game tomorrow. Who else will be watching?

    Hi, hope you’re well and enjoying the games :) This is a fair point, I feel this too sometimes

    That Cape Verde - Uruguay game was one for the ages :)

    Argentina coped well with Austria tonight, I thought they would struggle. I don’t think Austria ran at them like they run at other teams, maybe they were filled with awe about playing Argentina. Argentina dealt with them well and played at a quicker tempo than their lethargic showing against Algeria

    Have you noticed how Messi stays more forward now? he hasn't got the energy anymore to keep running back in defense.
