I have been wondering why so many people have picked them to win it. They’re being led by two lads whose time has been and gone. 
 

They look like they don’t really have a clue out there, give it to Messi and Di Maria and hope for the best. 

I was shocked to be honest that so many favoured them, I don’t see much real quality in the side

Same, loads I know said they're gonna win it, they've never been a team that's looked like winning it IMO. Messi for Argentina has never been as good as he was for Barca, and the defence the Argies have isn't great, neither is the midfield. Decent team sure, but they never look organised or well drilled, seem to rely on individual brilliance, which isn't always there, so you end up out of tournaments.

I feel the same about Brazil tbh. They're pretty average. 

[Pliskin]

I’m hearing the FIFA president himself will hold the board up with 120m extra time on it! 

[trabuch]

This is some impressive defending.

I agree, Brazil don’t look particularly great either. Pundits just get carried away before every tournament and just shout Brazil or Argentina…….

Unreal stuff from the Saudi’s 

[J. James]

I like the KSA shirt colour, like green vegetation dripping with black oil, wonder if their change strip is flesh colour dripping with red? 😐

It’s similar to that 10/10 Nigerian shirt of a few years back. 

[foxes_rule1978]

The Saudis will be going back to their part time jobs happy 

[StanSP]

Their CB celebrates like Faes does for any clearance or block. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Saudi’s coach is the same guy who won Zambia the African Nations ?

I really like to see it 

[Pliskin]

The Saudi goalkeeper is a genuine lunatic! 

[StanSP]

Very selfish from Messi there. 

[Asha]

Referee is a cvnt for not stopping that sooner. What the hell was he doing?

[Mickyblueeyes]

I hope the defender is ok

[Zear0]

Ouch

[foxes_rule1978]

This is worrying 

[StanSP]

Ouch. That looked very nasty. 

Keeper is in bits.

I actually thought he should have been more selfish and shot earlier. 

[Bert]

That was sickening. 

[OntarioFox]

God, that looked horrible. Hope he's alright, he's going to have one hell of a sore head whatever happens. 

[RoboFox]

Crikey, that's about as bad a collision as you'll see.
