Klinsmann has told the USA players families to change their return flights until after the Final.

 

Suppose they're planning a 10 day holiday after the Belgium game, which is nice

I'm trying to get in to work early so I can leave early for the 5o clock kick off. But it's getting hard with these late night fixtures.

Rightly or wrongly, Messi winning the World Cup would be massive within the "Messi / Ronaldo" debate. For that alone I'd like to see it happening (and 20 quid on him for top goalscorer at 13/2 obviously)

he's not at maradona's level. but then no one is.

Don't think so, the Swiss may rue the missed chances as Argentina take control of the 2nd half.

[Tosh]

The sun/shadow thing in all the stadia is playing havoc with the TV cameras in the afternoon games

[Earl Hafler]

Di Maria's playing well.

[Nebraska Red]

Why are Argentina crossing the ball when they have no height?
