Suppose that doesn't matter anymore.

 

[Celph Titled]

Not a clinical finish, but with the goalie moving the wrong way, it was good enough. Beautiful run by Messi. How many times has he pulled Argentina out of the fire so far over the last four games?

 

[B Maverick]

goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argentina

 

[sporthenry]

think US fans are dumb enough to not know the difference. They seem to think we're favorites against Belgium. While they know Messi, they'll probably look at Switzerland taking them to OT and think the same thing.

Link?

I can't really link random conversations that I've had or overheard. One guy said as long as Jozy was healthy, we should win.

 

[BobbyLayne]

There it is.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Messi elevating himself in the GoAT conversation at this WC.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Aw man.

 

[sporthenry]

The goalie bike would have cemented this cup as the best ever.

 

[Celph Titled]

Jesus.

All of them

There's not going to be much of a discussion for the GOAT if he keeps this up

117' Di Maria Goal

oof post

 

[BobbyLayne]

Note to self: serious lag with streaming.

 

[The Gator]

PULL THE KEEPER

 

[Mario Kart]

POST!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[B Maverick]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! poor swiss

 

[The Gator]

Shakira should have first timed that

 

[Celph Titled]

Backloaded excitement!

 

[renesauz]

Where has this Swiss attack been for the first 117 minutes?

 

[B-Deep]

Note to self: serious lag with streaming.

yes, this

 

[NewlyRetired]

Awesome ending

 

[sporthenry]

Makes you wonder why these teams don't attack more during the game.

Hopefully the US doesn't come out like they did vs Germany. At least go out guns blazing.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Shaqiri with a Robben impression.

 

[ffldrew]

Flop

 

[Jaysus]

120' ARGENTINA ESCAPE! What a huge chance for Switzerland! Shaqiri fires a brilliant cross into the area and Dzemaili meets it with a good header. His effort, however, strikes the left-hand post and then hits him again before going out of play.

P.S. what a flop

 

[Celph Titled]

That would've been an audacious time to try to go under the wall.

 

[The Gator]

No upsets so far in this round...USA up next

 

[sporthenry]

That would've been an audacious time to try to go under the wall.

That or pass it back. You aren't going to get a ball to dip that close.

 

[B-Deep]

based on that, i think we'll beat Argentina

 

[Native]

US lineup yet?

 

[renesauz]

based on that, i think we'll beat Argentina

I'd be happy just to not get blown out.

 

[The Gator]

US lineup yet?

Should be out at noon

 

[B Maverick]

US lineup yet?

saw Altidore not starting, thats it so far.

You should prob start hanging out with smarter people.

Well, I think we have a game before that one we should probably worry about first.

With that said, Argentina hasn't blown anybody out yet. They were in one of the weakest groups and only managed to win each game by one goal.

Grant Wahl @GrantWahl


USA was only group winner in WC2010 to lose in Round of 16. Now aiming to be the only 2nd-place team to win in WC2014 Round of 16.

 

[gump]

What an ending...that crowd eruption was intense.

#BEL LINE-UP: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany ©, Vertonghen, Witsel, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Hazard, Mertens, Van Buyten, Origi #BELUSA

 

[Mjolnirs]

I found a TV thinking it was headed to kicks. Walked up right after Argentina scored. The rest was amazing. The Swiss were so close on that last corner.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Beckerman out

Smarter people in terms of soccer? Then I'd probably have to leave the country.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Waiting to see how USSoccer lines them up

 

[Sinn Fein]

Wahl speculates 4-2-3-1

5 in the back? Maybe trying to get our wing backs more involved?

They playing 5 in the back or is Cameron RB and Johnson moving forward?
