I doubt Brazil Argentina would've been a good game anyway. Conmebol teams usually just kick the **** out of each other.

Sounds pretty entertaining.

Can't say I'm sad to see Croatia go out. Watching them at this World Cup has felt like this:

Alvarez, what a player.

Will be a lot more satisfying if Argentina win this year than if they had done so in 2014, given the inevitable Messi narrative. He was awarded player of the tournament then, but was far from his best. This time around he has been outstanding, it'd be a much better World Cup for him to be remembered for.

Well, I thought it was a penalty initially. But then Peter Walton agreed so now I'm not so sure.

Definite penalty. The studio argument that the keeper had nowhere else to go is almost comical.

Have mentioned before how lucky we are to have Tyler calling a lot of the games for SBS here. I watched the game at the gym this morning with the sound down on the monitors, but heard the commentary of the third goal over the radio on my headphones afterwards.
he really is the Benaud of football. So understated, the way he called it. Just lets the pictures tell the story instead of imposing himself all over thing like so many sports commentators do these days.

Not this one. I said before the tourney that I'd happily see Argentina win simply because of Messi (assuming that England probably wouldn't). Watching him play like this has been more enjoyable than anything I've seen in WCs for absolutely ages. And their fans have been great too.
