[Brownie]

And no Gutierrez at full back - Maradona is doing all the right things!

 

EDIT - And no Veron; excellent!

[RobbieOR]

Milito should be in that team instead of Higuain.

'kin hell! I've just had a quick look at the line up myself and then proceeded to have a bet on Jonas for first card. Just presumed he was playing. Doh!

 

Money back though and Higuain first goal will hopefully come in. Should be a good game this. I reckon there'll be another goal fest on the cards.

[Kevin D]

While I hope they go through, and that it's a good game, it's incredible that a team with Burdisso and Heinze are probably going to win this competition.

[loadsoftrophies]

Milito should be in that team instead of Higuain.

 

I disagree with all of that, i have Higuain backed for topgoalscorer!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Milito should be in that team instead of Higuain.

 

Why ? Higuain scored a hat trick in his last game and Milito looked poor when Maradona rested Higuian.

[El Rojo]

Heinze gets a harsh rap I think. He's not as error prone or slow as people infer all the time. He reminds me a bit of Carra.

 

United fans had him as their player of the year in two title winning seasons before he showed massive balls by trying to join us.

 

Was quite funny seeing him try to take the head off Oliver Bierhoff at the end of the 2006 match too.

 

Quality hair too.

 

By the way, how lucky is Maxi to get a game ahead of Aguero?

[usernameunknown]

Hopefully two teams playing great football and a close game unlike earlier. Want the Argies to sneak it though.

[RedKnight]

Really, really looking forward to this game. Two teams I really like on a lazy Sunday evening in June. Win win.

[RobbieOR]

Why ? Higuain scored a hat trick in his last game and Milito looked poor when Maradona rested Higuian.

 

Better player. He's scored 30 odd goals for Inter last year. I know Higuain has scored a good few for Madrid. More of a target man.

[Steve Holt]

Come on Higuain get some goals for my fantasy team.

[odris]

Robbie who would replace a player who scored a hat-trick already? Well, maybe you, but who else? Haha.

Aguero is one of those players, like Silva, who have a reputation and are probably very good but that I've never seen play well.

 

Agree to disagree on Heinze - also being in a charitable mood, I won't ask how you know who these cunts are voting as their player of the year - but he was absolutely terrible for Madrid in his first season.

[James]

I'm glad Tevez is in the starting 11 again. For some reason I like watching Argentina even more for that. And it'd be good for my fantasy football team if he scored, naturally.

[RedKnight]

Diego getting off the bus singing then, leg.

[George Costanza]

don't know why but i have the feeling there maybe a shock tonight. hope not but mexico will be a much sterner test then the argies have had before

[Il Fenomeno]

Is there something wrong wih Garth Crooks? The way he was just nodding along to Klinsmann looked odd.

 

Showing Maxi's ace goal there aswell.

[OmarVizquel]

This should be good. Both teams are horrible losers, and thankfully someone has to lose tonight.

 

Let's get it on!

[Brownie]

Klinsmann on England: 'It started in the first game and ended in the last game'.

 

Thanks for that insightful analytical description of England's World Cup, Jurgen, you fucking nobhead.

[The Dude Abides]

3-1 Argentina. Mexico will give them a game but i question whether they really have the fire power up front to win it. Plenty of pace though and the Argie defence is very slow.

 

What about that Ochoa? Mexican keeper, thought he was supposed to be the dogs bollocks?

[Chocoholic]

Diego going all 'Phil Orange' on his palyers there

[zigackly]

don't know why but i have the feeling there maybe a shock tonight. hope not but mexico will be a much sterner test then the argies have had before

 

I think it's incredibly unlikely but you never know what will happen in ninety minutes of course.

[Brownie]

Milito should be in that team instead of Higuain.

 

If you'd said that at the start of the tournament i'd possibly have agreed with you. Now? Not a chance, the lad just scored a hat-trick!

The most rhetorical question ever asked by anyone
