Argentina against Holland tonight.

[Carradona]

Should be the best game of the World Cup so far, and hopefully the managers wont be resting many players.

[snez1]

Kuyt starts.

 

Got the rest of the teams anyone? Not sure who to bet on here.

[WeAreTheBest]

Messi, Tevez and Riquelme is Argies front 3. Wow.

Well, the most exciting prospects on Argentina has so far been benched (Messi, Aimar), so it shouldn't be too boring.

[Carradona]

Argentina: abbondanzieri, burdisso, ayala, milito, cufre, mascherano, maxi rodriguez, cambiasso, riquelme, messi, tevez

 

 

Holland: van der sar, boulahrouz, ooijer, jaliens, de cler, sneijder, cocu, van der vaart, van persie, nistelrooy, kuyt

 

 

Holland's defence isnt very experienced :whistle:

[MLB]

The Dutch could easily take a pasting here.

[Guest myrlas]

The only "problem" is that they're both qualified for the knock out stages of course.

 

But with that much qulity on the pitch, both individually and regarding teamplay it will be a cracker.

 

My two favourites...not only this time, but every world cup.

Is the blonde in the tunnel with the mascots, a little beaut or what? :yes:

[Carradona]

would he look good in red? :whistle:

[WeAreTheBest]

"Evening everybody" fuck off Pleat.

[bri]

van basten has rested all players on a yellow

[Carradona]

tevez looks like a strong lad...totally different to messi

[Dirk]

It's still very early in the game but Argentina are getting nowhere near as much space and time on the ball as they got against Serbia.

[Carradona]

not getting enough of the ball...possession was 65-35 not too long ago

[Dirk]

I meant that they are getting closed down when in possession and their runners are getting picked up by Dutch defenders. I didn't mean overall possession.

[Josef Svejk]

Argentina still look a class act. They have easily the strongest squad in the tournament. If they hold it together, they should win the competition. But whether Riquelme, in particular, has the balls when it really matters remains to be seen...

[George Costanza]

I could watch Argentina all day. Their movement is a class apart, just lacking that final ball at the moment.

 

That Maxi Rodriguez is a cracking player, not heard much of him before the tournament. Riquelme as ever is oozing class.

[James Dean]

Kuyt has been shite.

[WeAreTheBest]

Argies havent even got out of first gear yet let alone 2nd 3rd etc

[Guest Billy Bollocks]

Am I missing something with this Kuyt fella? I keep hearing how good he is and every time I've seen him he just looks plain average.

[Stu Monty]

Impressed with Kuyt's workrate although he's not done much yet.

 

Thought is was funny when Pleat was saying about both teams not looking long; which game is he watching? Holland's plan a is to hit Kuyt long.

[WeAreTheBest]

Kuyt has been shite.

 

As has Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Sneijder and Van Der Vaart

[WeAreTheBest]

Depends if you judge him on 45mins and a 20min sub appearance. Liver ok Momo? Not drinking to much beer I hope

[CWD82]

Kuyt's a centre forward playing left wing.

 

Get Mr. Ed out there and he would be worse. Play Crouch out there and it would be horrific. Not doing to bad all things considered

Oops, I forget it's against forum law to critisise Kowt.

 

And if you used that little pea brain of yours and read the post, you'd see that it's not the first time I've seen him play.
