Hmm, seeing what happened in the other quarter final matches that were somewhat even i don't know what to think about this now i think Argentina will win 2-0, Verón and Messi to score.

I hope our defensive line watched the México vs Paraguay game, to not allow any stupid mistakes.

Hopefully nobody gets sent off early in the game. I want to watch a close and hard fought match.

 

[Callum]

What a poor, poor, dive by riquelme. He is such a scumbag.

Hopefully he gets his ankle broken, or maybe worse .

Peru is very solid in the back so far

I hope someone bans your ass so you stop posting

 

[Back Door Skip]

Peru looks solid, looks like there won't be a six goal score-line here. But as a neutral, this is boooooring.

Grrr. Why all do all the teams have to go defensive on us?

Oh well Messi was close with a deflected shot that hit the post, other than that nothing worth mentioning, Cambiasso, Messi and Zanetti are very active, however Messi didn't get the ball too much near the ending. Argentina must use the wings more to attack, there's the path to score a goal. Maybe Tevez in the second half would help the cause.

Diablo, do you know what happened to Messi at the end? It seemed as if he was hurt...

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Nope i didn't see anything strange, nor heard anything was wrong with him. About Mascherano being watched closely after the injury on his knee, though.

I thought he got hit in the head, it looked like he was laying unconscious...but what a beast Masche is...

 

[MaSsiVe]

Roman breaks the deadlock.

what a great strike with his left foot

 

[MaSsiVe]

Messi makes it 2-0, but oh man Riquelme's ball :Bow:

 

[Back Door Skip]

What a beautiful set up by Riquelme.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Zanetti is probably the most solid right-back in the game since I can remember, it's a damn shame he's been playing all this years with Inter
