On this, if Higuaín wasn't such a donkey Messi would already have one World Cup to his name.

His records at major tournaments is very poor. Missed loads of chances at the last WC, same at the Copa America as I understand it from Tim Vickery, and now once again here.

He won't start again surely, although neither should Mascherano or Di Maria who are both awful atm.

Maradona

Quite the celebration - he's in hospital now, apparently!

Should have remembered though that Nigeria are perpetual WC chokers.

Yeah wtf was I thinking to tip an African team to not fall at the last hurdle against a big team that always somehow make it. Disaster.
