I think Iran stole the Greek playbook

Messi!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!

What a strike! Fuck you Ronaldo!

What a goal! Unfair to Iran though as they looked better in the second half.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

So lame, Argentina did not deserve to win that, and when you consider the difference in quality between Iran and Argentina, what Iran did was godlike

If Argentina keeps playing like this they will get destroyed again in the 8th finals just like in 2010, where they lost 4-0 to Germany

Strangely, I was rooting for Iran. Plus, found out Iran has an American assistant coach. How does that work with all of the sanctions on Iran?

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, Iran at least deserved a draw there, but when the other team has one of the best players of all time, stuff like that happens. I love Messi, so I'm happy to see them get full points.

Iran played a game worthy of a draw, but unfortunately Argentina has the best player on the planet and can make goals like that happen. Absolutely insane goal, managed to thread the needle in the only space given to him.

Messi is almost not human

Ha... Good one

Really what can you do when someone scores a goal like that against you... Nothing

 

[velillen]

Aww bummer. Nice "accidental" goal though Followed by an idiot on the pitch Oo

followed by Ghana back in the game!!!

 

[sdifox]

Ghana!!!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Streaker was bad luck. Jinxed his team.

 

[squarecut1]

Germany will get another one

 

[sdifox]

ghana leading!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Wow.

 

[velillen]

Ghana again!!!

 

[waggy]

FUCKING GERMANY! you had ONE JOB! beat GHANA!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ghana is really turning up the offensive pressure. Glad we scored so early in our game.

 

[saratoga172]

Klose!!!!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Equalizer!

 

[CPA]

What the hell was that, the chicken dance? lol.

I know a Germany win is good for the US, but if Ghana wins, US just needs two ties and their in, right?

 

[saratoga172]

I believe that is correct, but a loss for Germany means they would likely need to beat us. More incentive to play harder.

 

[squarecut1]

Germany will get another one

And another one
