Match 11 - Group F - Argentina v Eva Herzigova - 23:00 BST - Bosnia could get Messi

[skybluedave]

Yeah. Screw the 2nd half. Off to bed.

[Jason the Yank]

Would be useful for USA.

He's not German though.

[ringwoodrob]

PS good job they are not in our group

[skybluedave]

Juninho comes across as a really nice guy but he's no pundit.

[Emersonlfc]

Are Argentina even playing with a midfield?

[Razzler]

Are Argentina the ugliest team in the tournament?

Not a looker amongst them

[Rob1981]

"Ponderous" says Shearer. Well, you'd know all about that Alan.

[Anti Spiral]

Argentina purposely not playing at their best so they don't peak to early.

[RubenJ]

Are Argentina even playing with a midfield?

Think that's the main problem here. The 5 defenders just isn't working at all.

[Razzler]

Hope Lennon is using sunscreen out there, he'll burn

[Pukey]

Poor, poor performance so far from Argentina. Bosnia did well defensively. Both teams need to do better with possession. Pretty much no forward thrust from Argentina, their best moment (other than the goal) came from Messi dribbling forward but there was only one player in support. Slow and laboured from there.

[EnterUsernameHere]

Poor half. Messi is dropping too deep, and when he gets on the ball isn't doing well.

Is Lawro clinically depressed? It's either that or he despises football.

[Confused Clarity]

This is a proper World Cup group game.

As in, it's bloody horrendous.

[CaptainPlanet]

Argh, Lennon does the talk through teeth thing, that drives me mad.

[Razzler]

Think that's the main problem here. The 5 defenders just isn't working at all.

They need some more Maradona tactical 'defenders don't cross the half way line'

[PMLF]

Pretty boring first half, lucky Argentina they scored so early.

[Astafjevs]

Don't know if this is how Bosnia usually play, with Misimovic the most advanced midfielder, but Pjanic is too deep IMO. He's great for Roma when he can get further forward, but he's not really done that this half. Too far away from the box to make a difference. Could do with finding a way to get him further up the pitch, particularly as they seem to lack ideas with the ball in the final third.

[Andrew!]

I was quite looking forward to this game

[B-Real]

Are Argentina the ugliest team in the tournament?

Not a looker amongst them

Bring back Batistuta.

[Razzler]

Messi been a little disappointing and they say comparisons between him and Rooney are misplaced

Aaaaahhh damn, see what I did yo!

[craigcwwe]

Expected better from Argentina tbf, not doing much really.

[aderow]

He's not German though.

Yeah. He's no Julian Green.

[football_master_94]

Tevez would relegate Messi to the bench. Messi has no passion.

[Razzler]

Juninho really says nothing at all, a proper pundit

[Fabio MVP]

Have you ever played Grand Theft Auto?

That's just plain wrong.

Shame we were so scared and nervous at the start. The positive thing is we've calmed a bit and regouped ourselves. We still lack movement in attack. Here's hoping we can score in the second half.

[scott MUFC]

Messi so rubbish, should be sold to a mid tableish premier league side immediatly

[Razzler]

They're talking about French and Swiss games .. Aaaaaahhhhh

[CaptainPlanet]

Would be rubbish at a wet wednesday away at Stoke.

[Marc Albrighton]

Hope Bosnia get level, don't deserve to be behind at all.

[georginho_juventusygr]

Heaven's sake, Dutch TV. I don't want to hear anything about the Netherlands training. Where is the analysis?!

[dudge7]

Argentina's midfield is ****. Messi having to drop so deep to get involved and then he's just running into a crowd of Bosnians.

[ringwoodrob]

Another midfielder would give Messi more freedom!

[B-Real]

I have the feeling Bosnia will continue to play like this, get a few chances but fail to score and they'll get tired around the 70th minute. Some Argentinian player will receive the ball after a fluke long ball and score the 2-0 while cheekily pointing at the name of his shirt.

[georginho_juventusygr]

I don't want to bloody hear about Blind and De Jong's press conference.

[Jeroen Thijssen]

Argentina can just sit back and play on the counter and wait for more Messi cleverness. He just needs one more moment.

Poor game. No shocking Mascherano fouls either.

I'm liking Bosnia so far, coach must be debating whether to bring on another striker / attacking midfielder - but this could open up possibilities for the Argies.

[georginho_juventusygr]

And why are you showing France vs Honduras?! Why not analyzing it after the match?!

[Jeroen Thijssen]

I don't want to bloody hear about Blind and De Jong's press conference.

They'll analyze the game in a bit, ffs. They do this every day - quick Dutch item and then go on to the match at hand.

[aderow]

Messi so rubbish, should be sold to a mid tableish premier league side immediatly

You mean one with a dutch manager?

[georginho_juventusygr]

Where? Nobody in the studio!

[scott MUFC]

You mean one with a dutch manager?

yea that one

[adhikapp]

Too many defenders. Put Higuain on and we'll have a fun match.

[skybluedave]

They've edited Pearce's spaz out a bit there on the highlights

[JD nawrat]

Bosnia been far better imo. Hope they score soon.

[Fabio MVP]

Too many defenders. Put Higuain on and we'll have a fun match.

Yeah, we have 4 and they have 5.

[Rob1981]

Almost made Pearce sound competent in the edit

[adhikapp]

You mean one with a dutch manager?

yes exactly

[Emersonlfc]

I would love it if BBC/ITV actually talked about the game their showing instead of this **** highlights package they are trying to shove down our throats at any opportunity

[SJ234]

Argentina have been quite average. Bosnia are, as expected, a good side.

[RubenJ]

Too many defenders. Put Higuain on and we'll have a fun match.

they need a midfielder, not another striker.

Messi is constantly walking as well, looks a bit desinterested like he did at Barcelona the last couple of weeks/months. Wouldn't surprise me if he's depressed or something like that, he just isn't himself.

[georginho_juventusygr]

I think because Messi stinks.
