- I was at a BBQ last w'end and at about 2am noticed the tempo of conversation had changed and then noted a white smear under a friend's schnozz. Time to leave.detritus
- I can't stand coke or being around people on it, and for crissakes, it was a BBQ.
BBQ's for booze weed and food people, not f'ing jaw grinding uppers.detritus

What an embarrassment the player dives are. Should get red cards.

so messi didn't show up against croatia either ;)
- crotia playing really well btw.renderedred
- Messi needs a team to show up with himlodef
- Messi gets a lot of crap from people. He is just incredibly unlucky coz he is part of the worst argaytina generation in decades.VectorMasked
- he has a handful of good teammates like Aguero, Higuain, mascherano. After that the quality is equal to what El Salvador or Guatamala have.VectorMasked
- the greatest player surrounded by incompetent idiots.dorf
- yeah? who was Maradona surrounded by?

- who's maradona?dorf
- i get that he needs a team around him, but he was almost non-existent in both games. i am not much of a ronaldo fan, but does he have a better team around him?renderedred
- they're not really comparable in that way though they are different types of players. Messi gets more assists. I do think Por have played better though.lodef
- Portugal played much better, no doubt. Also credit to Croatia, they outclassed Argentina all the way.renderedred
- Apparently the players choice forbthe team is based in influence and politics within the AFA and not based in the best players available...Salarrue
- Messi, Higuain, Aguero, DiMaria, Mascherano, Otamendi. How is that like Guatamala? They have an amazing team. Baffling performances!Hayzilla
- Putin told Messi NOT to Put In!Krassy

Rakitic and Modric! Best central midfield duo of the last decade. So good.

Quite stressful watching Argentina. Like standing helpless on the shoreline as people desperately try to save a beached whale that you know is going to die.
- Worst match I saw Argentina play in 30 years. Makes me sad.maquito

Good game Croatia. Argentina was a mess...

Predictions for Russian World Cup 2018:
Portugal look strong, but I think Putin will win.
- I'm with Croatia and Belgium at this point. France & Portugal are solid bets too.renderedred

- But maybe he's not the "best player in the world?" His performance has been totally underwhelming and FAR from best player status.chukkaphob
- Because it's a one man sportinv
- not a one man sport. LOLchukkaphob
- I totally agree with you @chukka, but even if he is not the best player (anymore), he carries the label and the burden of being it.maquito
- I agree with that part @maquitochukkaphob
- what are you doing in this thread chuk?! get back to COTD please.robotron3k

^ LOL. I wouldn't feel too sad for that cunt mate.
I would say it doesn't suck being the best player in the world for 10 years. The $billions he's earned, the millions of adoring fans, model wife and a gang of kids.
He'll retire at 33 after winning...
9 La Ligas
6 Del Rays
6 Balon D'ors
5 Golden Shoes
4 Champions Leagues
3 Super Cups
3 World Club Cups
1 Olympic Gold MedalDon't lose any sleep. He probably won't TBH.
- I dont agree, you know? I think he must really feel like shit. 36 million argentinians are not exactly adoring him by now. Money, wife and kids: agree.maquito
- The promise of modern argentinian soccer, shadow of Diego, so-called best player in the world, didn't bring one single cup home.maquito
- And that mate, for an argentinian, must be quite unpleasant I can guarantee.maquito

Excited but conflicted. I’m a bit old for morning drinking, hope my whole day isn’t fucked.
