World Cup Day 17 [Argentina vs Mexico]

[King Gizzard]

I didn't see one of these...sorry if there is one hidden somewhere

[King Gizzard]

Maradonna needs his own show :D

[setanta]

Come on Mexico! Love them to cause an upset.

[King Gizzard]

I want Argentina to win. Cause they would give the Germans a game and hopefully thrash them

If we'd of gone through I'd of wanted Mexico obviously lol

[bbfan1991]

I think Argentina will win.. Mexico will sure make it tough:).

[King Gizzard]

Mexico will be a superpower at the next WC

[Ninastar]

Mexico need to win because they invented taco's.

[Nemo123]

See Tevez is on.

[bbfan1991]

Chico is playing!:D:).

[King Gizzard]

There is something really passionate about the Mexican fans and players

[bbfan1991]

*Mexican wave or El Paso tortillas*:joker:.

[King Gizzard]

I don't get Argies kit - the shorts dont go with the shirt lol

[King Gizzard]

Tevez 1-0

[bbfan1991]

Goal:).

[bbfan1991]

WTF is going on:conf:.

[King Gizzard]

Another reasone why we should have Goal line technology ffs

[Nemo123]

All getting very messi

[bbfan1991]

If only they would listen to what lots of people are saying:mad:.

[Nemo123]

Fifa a laughing-stock.

[Malza]

2:0 already for argentina

[King Gizzard]

Great goal


LOL at the camera hitting heinze then him punching it

[Locke.]

Haha. Argentina are too clinical up front. I can't see any defence stopping them.

Goodbye Mexico. Goodbye Germany.

[King Gizzard]

Messi Higuain Tevez > Xavi Villa Torres

[King Gizzard]

I think I can just enjoy the beautiful game a bit more now England are out xD

[Locke.]

Messi Higuain Tevez > Xavi Villa Torres

It's not just them either, they've got Aguero and Milito on the bench.

[King Gizzard]

And they didnt even bring Cambiasso :shocked:

[Nemo123]

little green laser on the pitch again.

[James]

Another reasone why we should have Goal line technology ffs

Wrongly given off-side decisions isn't a good argument for using goal-line technology or TV replays in those cases, IMO. You'd be stopping the game all the time to watch replays.

[Nemo123]

only do it for goals, the play's already stopped. works in rugby.

[King Gizzard]

I guess yeah

But at least it brings the whole topic up into more focus

[Wildcat!]

FCuking ridiculous all these demands for replays just becaus eEngland got a bad deal!
Give me a break! Karma is a bitch sometimes. WHenever the germans bring up the missed goal from 1966, the english just tell them to get over it! This was the exact opposite. Another mistake from referees. It happens, and it keeps happening. FOotball is not perfect or clinical, and we dont like to stop the game. Might as well cahnge in to american FB, and introduce timeouts, unlimited subs etc...

[King Gizzard]

It doesnt take much to look at a screen though

Everyone wants it not just the English

[Wildcat!]

NO, not everyone wants it! I dont want it! I think its bogus! Only the people who have been on the wrong end, all of a sudden want it!
Give it a rest! It is what it is!

[King Gizzard]

Clarence Seedorf just said he wanted it. He hasnt been on the wrong end ;)

[Nemo123]

it's simple. you award a goal kick to mexico instead of a goal to argentina. no different from rugby really

[GiRTh]

They had an extra official for Europa league games. maybe they should expand that scheme.

[King Gizzard]

They had an extra official for Europa league games. maybe they should expand that scheme.

No that was really a joke that system lol

They would be no better at spotting a goal in a crowded box than the ref would

[GiRTh]

TBH knowing Blatter, technology wont be introduced no matter how many people want it so I was just offering another idea.

[King Gizzard]

TBH knowing Blatter, technology wont be introduced no matter how many people want it so I was just offering another idea.

I wonder what he'd be like if Switerzland had a goal dissalowed in the World Cup final

[GiRTh]

I wonder what he'd be like if Switerzland had a goal dissalowed in the World Cup finalHe still wouldnt be bothered. He seems to be a law unto himself.

[James]

only do it for goals, the play's already stopped. works in rugby.

Then the moment of a goal being scored, when you know it is a goal, is gone as the players have to wait for the goal to be reviewed.

[GiRTh]

Seedorf just a made a good comment that England play like individuals and not a team.

[Wildcat!]

Clarence Seedorf just said he wanted it. He hasnt been on the wrong end ;)

HE will say anything to keep his job wiuth the BBC! :)
Saying england get over it, wont do that! LOL!

[Locke.]

They introduced it in tennis, the players can challenge the referee's decision up to 3 times each match. Once they challenge it it gets put up on the screen.

If it can happen in tennis it can happen in football.

[GiRTh]

All other sports that have technology are basically stop start sports that dont flow in the same way that football does. Its different in football for sure, but the events in this game and the England game make the whole sport look like a bit of a joke. Something has to be done.

[Nemo123]

Then the moment of a goal being scored, when you know it is a goal, is gone as the players have to wait for the goal to be reviewed.

only if it needs to be reviewed. again, like rugby.

[KG.]

And they didnt even bring Cambiasso :shocked:

Or Zarate, he's immense.

Argentina are looking great once again, they really can win this.

[KG.]

What a ****ing beautiful goal! :shocked: :worship:

[Locke.]

What a ****ing goal

[Wildcat!]

What a goal!!

[GiRTh]

Thats what Man U missed last year. Why did they sell Tevez and keep Berbatov. LMAO

[Nemo123]

Thats what Man U missed last year. Why did they sell Tevez and keep Berbatov. LMAO

Berbatov was cheaper

[King Gizzard]

Too good for Man City

[James]

only if it needs to be reviewed. again, like rugby.

Often you only know if something is wrong with a goal until they show a replay. So you would have to review every goal.

Anyway... great goal.

[GiRTh]

Tevez struck that so well. No problems with the ball for him.

[Nemo123]

Often you only know if something is wrong with a goal until they show a replay. So you would have to review every goal.

Anyway... great goal.

it's no problem in rugby where you'll note not every try is challenged/questioned. I see no reason why the ref/players would challenge every goal.

[setanta]

Really feeling for Mexico here. Offside first goal, shocking defensive error for the second, and a wonder strike for the third. Before that first goal they'd been well in the match. Terrible stuff.

[Nemo123]

f00king gas if that was a goal!

Blatter's worst nightmar

[Wildcat!]

NICE one! Deserved goal!

[setanta]

Beautiful goal. Come on Mexico.

[Locke.]

Another great goal.

Possibly the best match of the tournament so far this.

[KG.]

Another great goal!

[Wildcat!]

Argentina is my team, but their defense really can be taken!

I think they will lose if they go to the next round!

[GiRTh]

Argentina is my team, but their defense really can be taken!

I think they will lose if they go to the next round!Walter 'The Wall' Samuel is injured. He'd have made a difference

[setanta]

Argentina is my team, but their defense really can be taken!

I think they will lose if they go to the next round!

I'm not convinced either.

[Locke.]

Mascherano is the best at what he does. If Germany try the same plan they did today with the counter attacks, then they'll have a much harder job accomplishing it.

Argentina are more clinical up front than us aswell.

[Nemo123]

no replay of Heintze's clearence

[Locke.]

I predicted 3-1 :)

[Nemo123]

I predicted 3-1 :)

You must be top of the league.

[Nemo123]

this is fizzling out

[Locke.]

Bigsister will be 2 points ahead of me I think

[GiRTh]

EAsy in the end

[Maia]

Congrats to Argentina! :D

[Nemo123]

Bigsister will be 2 points ahead of me I think

(I think she's cheating. Sssssh!)

[King Gizzard]

Hope they destroy the Germans and I'm pretty confident they will do

[Malza]

Hope they destroy the Germans and I'm pretty confident they will do

yeah, like they did 4 years ago? :whistle:

[King Gizzard]

yeah, like they did 4 years ago? :whistle:



Argentinas team now is much better than back then :laugh:

[Malza]

we will see

[Locke.]

I don't think Germany's full back's are consistent enough, get Messi down the wings and he'll cause a lot of problems.

[King Gizzard]

Will you be watching it with your husband? :shocked: (you did say he was Argentinian right?)

[King Gizzard]

I don't think Germany's full back's are consistent enough, get Messi down the wings and he'll cause a lot of problems.

Mertesacker looks like hes gaff prone, just has that look about him

[Nemo123]

Is Hernandez the next Ronaldo? Or is he good player?

[King Gizzard]

Noo not the England highlights again lmao

[King Gizzard]

It is disgusting watching that replay of the lampard goal again

[setanta]

I wasn't impressed with Argentina there. Scoreline really flattered them plus the first two goals were a joke. Nah, I fancy the Germans.

[Nemo123]
