Mahrez on the bench for Algeria. Romero has risen from the dead to play for his country.

What we're looking at here, is a quarter final of the Champions League level team at best (Argentina), v a solid Europa League level team, who are good enough to win a Super Cup final type game in a one off event but would have to really play above their level.

Don't think this will be an Argie landlside, closer than people think, maybe 2-1.

Kind Regards.

I thought african teams would be able to move a bit quicker in the heat but it must be a different heat as they walking around.

Not sure why that made me laugh. Crazy  Anyway, Argentina are usually slow starters so I would not be surprised if they don't win this.  Think I'll lay at 1.59 and see how it looks in-play.

Exactly, tobermory. So embarrassing. They want Argies beat so badly they're willing to be pathetically unprofessional and bury their heads.

I remember Maradona being amazing at World Cup 1994, before he was suspended for doping. And the talk at the time was "He's this good at 34!"

Argentina have looked the best team in the comp so far by a million miles, playing quick football passing through the lines, they look like a proper team.
Report sofaking June 17, 2026 3:08 AM BST
Yes, they look good here. I thought they'd be slow out of the traps. Hopefully a good 2nd half.

Not sure. It's a tossup really. Wink

Argentina most impressive all round UNIT. As an attacking force, France look more powerful/dynamic.
Report sofaking June 17, 2026 4:05 AM BST
Yes, they look very solid and their defence was relatively untested.  Messi is surely the official GOAT.
