Argentina in a World Cup is our ultimate bogey team. 1999, 2007 and 2015 were all painful defeats with only a narrow pool win in 2003 for retribution. We always think theyâre not as good as they used to be.
Whoever loses the two 8 pm quarter finals can feel aggrieved over the draw.
Bar England the other three sides are shite.
They are literally shite.
Argentina banish some Marseille World Cup quarter final ghosts.
Theyâve completed the set of World Cup quarter-final victories over the Celtic nations.
Argentina have beaten Ireland twice in World Cup play in France. Beware.
A minimum of a box office 3rd place play off with England is assured for them and a repeat World Cup final pairing of France v Argentina remains alive.
Mac:NZ or Ireland will beat the Argies by 20 odd points in the semis at least
New Zealand yes.
Would you seriously trust Ireland to beat Argentina by 20 points?
Fair point. Ireland would beat them by 30

Is everyone dismissing Fiji against England tomorrow? Theyâve every chance imo

Theyâll fuck england up
Doubt it. They looked very tired last week. Would expect to strangle the life out of them.
Bumping this because although it might not happen, itâs beginning to look very plausible.
I could foresee a situation where something ridiculous like Argentina reaching the final happens.
Ireland beat Scotland, then somehow overcome the six day gap to beat New Zealand. Argentina get an unimpressive second in the group and beat Wales or maybe Fiji in a quarter-final.
Semi-final is Ireland v Argentina. Ireland are punch drunk and Argentina come in fresh. Argentina reach the final and get beaten by 40 points by France or South Africa.
I actually think the semis will be all second place sides from the pool. All Southern hemisphere- DuPont injury depending . If heâs 100% France wonât have a glove laid on them in semi or final
They didnât have to try a leg last week. Couldnât win pool and only a freak miracle would have eliminated them.
Only a try away from freak miracle
As Shane Horgan calls them âthe Orgiesâ.
There was some gobshite in here last week saying Argies were as bad as Italy.
Their 3rd tile in a WC semi-final. Fucks sake.

Who was that mate?
Some amount of Middle Aged Nualas at the Irish rugby matches
Probably some fella whoâs an expert on every sport and is posting 18 hours a day on here, loves the sound of his own voice.

Fuck it, I donât recall posting that
Thought the orgies were lucky not to be given a red cord in the second half tbh.
