Dont Messi with Persie

Dudes what happened to the Argentina story? My guess is they are taking a mental nap. Not a good idea people. Not so easy to switch on once your off.

Messi was at his devastating best during the first half. Cant comment on the second half - was asleep.

The Portugal - Mex match was far more interesting. The Mex boys were great at creating chances, but lacked the finishing touch. Its difficult to envisage their going past or challenging Argentina in the round of 16. Portugal however is a dark horse and I see them posing a threat to the Dutch / English in that quadrant.

Tonites matches Italy - Czech promises to be humdinger. The US - Ghana tie also has a lot at stake and I guess its fair to say that this group has taken the mantle of the "group of death"
