Messis crew struggling against the Bolivians now. The Mick McCarthy favoured 2 banks of 4 are proving very difficult to break down. Tevez just booked for nothing . No point having the best forwards in the world if the rest of your team are pish. Bolivia have barely had the ball though.
Banega :o
1-0 Bolivia - goal from a corner, harmless flicked backheel to the near post and a ball Banega should have dealt with comfortably trickled between his legs.
Nearly 2-0, Romero to the rescue
What a goal!
Di Maria crosses from the left to the far side of the box, Burdisso chests it into the path of the nearby Aguero who hits a peach of a volley on the turn into the far top corner.
1-1.
1-1, all over. Unimpressive.
FFS. Can’t say I was impressed with that. Especially after backing more than 3.5 goals.
Christ Argentina were poor. Shocking goal to concede obviously but they were poor in midfield and threw balance out the window at half time when Di Maria came on. Lovely goal though.
Colombia go one up against a 10 man Costa Rica just before half time. Was going to criticise the midfielders for trying the killer pass too often but they finally got Ramos away and he finished tidily.
Brazil Team v Venezuela:
Julio Cesar;
Dani Alves, Lucio, Thiago Silva, Andre Santos;
Ramires, Lucas, Ganso;
Robinho,
Pato, Neymar.
Have done the Pato top scorer e/w bet so hoping for a rout and to see Pato amongst the goals.
Looking forward to getting a good look at the highly rated Ganso tonight.
I’m hoping for a rout too for the same reason, plus I’ve backed a rout. Also Colombia were fairly disappointing last night against a poor Costa Rica underage side after Argentina had been even more underwhelming the previous night. Tournament could use a big performance.
Could someone throw up a link when they get one

Impressive start from Brazil. Moving the ball well and winning it back high up the pitch when they do lose it. Nice style of football anyway.
Very much so, the attackin quartet have a lovely balance and their intelligent movement and link up play has been brilliant. Dani Alves has been very impressive at right back also.
Pato smacks the bar.
Unlucky there from Pato. Brazil dropped the pace there for a couple of minutes and exploded back with that. Impressive stuff. By God Burley is annoying though.
Brazil -1 is 8/11 now. Think I’ll take a bit of that.
Its on Setanta Ireland as well Rocko if that’s any use.
How many corners has there been so far? Have gone for under 5 at something like 6/1.
Burley keeps telling us the pitch isn’t as good as it looks.
- It looks shit.
- Are we to believe he’s walked the pitch or is he not judging it from the same pictures we are?
Neymar can be a little too elaborate at times.
