I hope Peru have another El Loco type character in goal tonight and Argentina donāt require Martin Palermo.

Unbelievable atmosphere at La Bombonera

Argentina wearing black shorts. I hate it when Argentina wear white shorts as they have been doing in recent years.
Togs are huge . Tyrone have never had the same aura since they wore white togs .

I agree with your point but Jesus, man, itās āshortsā, not ātogsā. You donāt play football in togs, unless itās football in a swimming pool.
We say togs in west Limerick . There were few enough swimming pools here in my youth . The Deel , the Feale and BMS had a few pools for swimming .
Shorts were measures of spirits .
Lucas Biglia lucky to get away with a yellow card. Really high studs up tackle which took out the Peru player.
Only World Cup Argentina failed to qualify for was 1970. If they won their last match in that qualifying campaign they could have made it to Mexico. They drew 2-2 with Peru at La Bombonera.
This is Messiās first ever game at the Bombonera.
Chile have gone 1-0 up on Ecuador in a must-win game for them.
They may not have Palermo to call on, but Benedetto is the next closest thing
Peru nearly score
Messi has been awful so far it must be said
Gilt-edged chance for Farfan.
And then he nearly scores out of nothing
Then hits a shot at goal out for a throw.
Big miss by Benedetto. Heads over the bar from close range with a very scoreable chance. 0-0 at half-time. There are a lot of bang average players in this Argentina team.
Benedetto nearly scores from a lovely cross by Messi. Benedetto is very limited but heās providing more of a threat than Iāve seen Aguero, Higuain or Icardi doing for them in a while
Mercado is one useless bastard of a player
Gomezās shot saved from point blank.
