Argentina vs Netherlands

[cluckyduck]

Tough loss with Di Maria but they get Aguero back. I see Lavezzi as taking more of Di Marias roll. So he wont be missed that much. Even though Di Maria held the most possession for Argentina his loss is not even close to the same scale as Neymar or Silva or Suarez. Their substitutes weren't relevant.

I see Argentina getting stronger at each game. They handled Swiss with ease who are a good team and dominated Belgium a really good team. Netherlands on the other hand has been known to choke under pressure and this is their first big pressure game. Van Persie has gone all down hill, getting pulled in the Mexico game in the 75th min when they were down has me thinking hes hurt. They also squeeked by too many times already in this tournament. Sometimes your luck runs out.

Argentina to qualify. Medium bet.

Very very small bet on Netherlands to score in both halves. 13-1 odds cant pass it up.

Probably because it's a bad line. 5Dimes offering +395 for Netherlands to score in both halves & -495 for a scoreless half.

You mean like a mistake? I like that. Does that happen often

So argentina scoring a goal at 80+min to win almost all there games vs crappy teams isnt squeeking by?

Its soccer you don't need blowouts. A 2 goal comeback in the 80th and 90th minutes is rare. A penalty shootout vs costa rica isn't all impressive. They were dominated by Chile but they won by scoring in the 70th and 90th in that game. I don't care about that game much cause it was the last game of qualifying.

Argentina defnately hasn't impressed me as much as id want. Cause this would then be an easy pick. I like that the odds aren't awful.

Its all about who steps it up tonight. And ill take Messi and his team to prevail.

Yes, like a mistake. It happens sometimes. Typically these bets are cancelled and not paid out.

Listen, I bleed City blue, but faberge eggs have longer shelf lives than Aguero...toss up who is more fragile, himself or Van Pussy...both brilliant both softer than a baby's bum...although, I can not stand DiMaria, he is clearly more valuable paired w/Messi than Aguero is

 

[cluckyduck]

That's why its on Lavezzi to step up and mesh with Messi and he definitely can. Aguero is needed up front with Higuain for those off chances at a goal, either can bury them. Aguero isn't supposed to replace Di Maria. Cocktail you gotta love him though he was still a vital piece to win first place in premier and the cup.

Thanks for the headsup Donk, if it wins and they take it atleast knew it might've been coming.

Looks like Van Pussy a go/ no Nigel...ps. Love Kun but let's call a spade a spade Dzeko/Yaya/Zabaletta and playing like a TEAM willed City to title ...Kun was a no-show 1/2 the campaign

Your right soccer is a huge team sport. Look at Germany with no superstars but they sure play like it.

Whats your take on the game?

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

I think our midfield is vulnerable but I would like to believe our counter can finally be the one that exploits the Argentina back line...Zabs is fantastik but Dimichelis, puh-lease...didn't buy him at City when he was dreadful didn't buy him when he was getting kudos for whatever people were seeing him do well???(hiding behind Kompany n Zabs)....not sure what's on Van Gaal's mind today, so what's to be expected is anyone's guess...obviously, I would love to see yesterday repeated in favor of the Oranj...anything goes at this stage mate

De jong starting. No aguero for Arg
