Round of 16 - Argentina vs Switzerland (17:00 BST) & Belgium vs USA (21:00 BST)

[Noob21]

What's the brown-black drink they give the player?

[JD nawrat]

Surely not all the top teams can squeeze through like this, you would think 1 would fall to one side.

Switzerland to knick it here.

Colombia won with ease

[JD nawrat]

What's the brown-black drink they give the player?

Jaegermeister

[G-Man11]

This is better than the swiss-ukraine match in 06 tbf...

[daylight]

Colombia won with ease

yeah not ALL the games, but a lot went to extra time/penalties or the top teams stole it near the end of 90 minutes.

[JD nawrat]

Ah right I see.

I hope it's Switzerland. Don't like the Argentines.

[Zvonimir Boban]

smh ref not going back to book Messi for that foul in midfield.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Djourou.

[Pukey]

Oh dear Shaqiri

[G-Man11]

Can't we just go straight to pens?

[Anti Spiral]

Switzerland playing for penalties didn't work last time they tried it in a WC

[el sid]

di Maria has lost possession 37 times this game

[G-Man11]

Switzerland playing for penalties didn't work last time they tried it in a WC

Didn't they fail to score a single once?

[jep]

Christ, both sides are god awful. Is it possible to just knock both teams out and let Belgium and USA through?

[Zvonimir Boban]

Christ, both sides are god awful. Is it possible to just knock both teams out and let Belgium and USA through?

Let Algeria back in

[georginho_juventusygr]

Why shooting, Seferović?

[JD nawrat]

Crowd is awesome

[dabam]

oh god it's so painful to watch...

[G-Man11]

Yeah I seriously don't know why Argentina are considered one of the favourites, been god damn awful all tournament and yet to play a single decent side. Even ignoring there tournament form it's not like they have some great squad, basically just a few top class forwards and very little else.

[Zvonimir Boban]

The crowd loving this

[JD nawrat]

Hahahahahahahaha

Shaqiri squaring up to the ref.

[georginho_juventusygr]

It's clear that Eriksson likes Argentina.

[jep]

Shaqiri giving the ref a mouthful of abuse

[Baptista_8]

Shaqiri has got serious small man syndrome

[Baptista_8]

di Maria has lost possession 37 times this game

Surely that stat was a joke? 37 times ridiculous...

[G-Man11]

Di Maria giving away possession again...

[Pangaea]

Death stare from Shaqiri

Refs have had an amazing ability to get in the middle of where they shouldn't be in this tournament though. Barely ever see that, yet here it's in almost every game.

[Pukey]

Oh just **** off di Maria

[Anti Spiral]

Must be 40 by now.

[daylight]

Most productive game yet.

I managed to order my oldest kids new clothes on the internet while the game played in the background.

[Guest]

It's almost like Switzerland are totally happy when the ball goes to Di Maria as if they know they are safe in his hands.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Sub Di María now ffs. How has he lasted this long? Worst performance over 90 minutes in World Cup history.

[Confused Clarity]

Why is Messi getting such a pass for how utterly dreadful he has been throughout this game on both Twitter & by the BBC commentators/Pundits?

If Cristiano Ronaldo stunk the game up this much, Twitter would be in Meltdown & they'd be crucifying him on Comms!

[Noob21]

Argie Hottie sighting!!!!!!!!

[G-Man11]

Because everyone loves Messi.

[Confused Clarity]

Oh & Di Maria's Rabona was probably the single biggest worst decision of the entire World Cup.

[Cougar2010]

Christ, both sides are god awful. Is it possible to just knock both teams out and let Belgium and USA through?

Could go for something like any 0-0 draw sees both sides out and the losing team that scored the most goals in the round takes their place

[Baptista_8]

Mills and Green were saying on R5L at HT that Di Maria was the best player on the pitch in the first half

Because di Maria has been a hundred times worse and is attracting all the attention for utterly dismal he's been

[JD nawrat]

Everyone loves Messi, yeah.

He's been stinking all tournament bar four goals (actually been rubbish bar the goals) but people are hailing this as Messi's tournament ffs

[EnterUsernameHere]

Everyone loves Messi, yeah.

Yeah...that's just wrong.

[Pukey]

He's the only reason Argentina got through the groups.

[G-Man11]

Sabella seemingly one of those guys who goes 4-2-4 overload on FM and then moans when he doesn't have any highlights.

yeah the consensus for Messi seems to be "the other players need to pick it up" whereas Ronaldo gets slated whilst being in a much worse team.

[Noob21]

This game is a fraud

Di Maria needs a break

[el sid]

di Maria finally on target

[dudge7]

Yeah...that's just wrong.

He hasn't scored, must be ****.

[G-Man11]

Nobody closed him down there as they were just expecting him to give it away

[georginho_juventusygr]

Fantastic save by Benaglio.

[Noob21]

Swiss can't counter for their lives
