Dunphy is mad to put on a dress…
Stephen Alkin keeps banging on about this being the first time that Argentina have beaten a European team in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Didn’t they just beat Switzerland in the last round?
England 86
Switzerland is a boil on the arse of Europe so he is correct.
Apparently its been a bout 6 World Cups since Argentina beat a team other than Mexico in 90 minutes, its been a favoured stat of commentators in this WC.
When did they beat Mexico in normal time? They beat them in extra time in 2006. They beat Brazil in 1990 in normal time, can’t recall another one between the 86 WC and today
First time in World Cup history that Argentina and Brazil have both reached the semi-finals in the same tournament
I’ll see if I dig up the exact stat, but its been doing the rounds for commentators over the past week or so. You’re most likely right, but I was fairly sure Mexico featured in it somewhere.
Is George on his own here?
Just thinking the same. Ray missing is superb news.
Ray’s audio is on time delay, he’ll chip in any minute now.
Di Maria looks to be ruled out for rest of the World Cup now. If messi manages to win this for them now itll be an even more phenomenal achievement.
He did fuck all today.
If only Ray had looked up at the flight information screen, he would have seen his plane was boarding. Hopefully he’s stranded wherever last night’s game was played.
Hamilton, ‘‘Sneijder’s free-kick earlier was well executed’’ :rolleyes:
Well executed free-kicks should hit the back of the net.

I disagree.
Post reported.
Didn’t Maradona beat Belgium in 86, and Argentina beat West Germany in the 86 final. Not to labour the point Argentina beat the Nederlands in the 78 final.
Surprising the lack of outrage in the English media over the near crippling of Neymar and Rodriguez being kicked off the park by Brazil. In comparison to the evil Luis Suarez.
2.5cm lower and Neymar could have been paralysed. Fucking coke fiends.
