I hope Messi wins the world cup so everyone has to say he is the best ever, cause he is like

[Rory Fitzgerald]

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)

[Cobs]

I think it would end it

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?
