Brazil - Argentina

Anybody watch it? I enjoyed it I must say. Brazil look solid and were a danger at set pieces, it's not the Brazil I remember from my younger days but Dunga won't care if they keep ON winning. Argentina dominated possession but lacked a cutting edge in front of goal. Argentina's back 4 was a joke, particularly when it came to defending set pieces.

I don't think Robinho had a kick of the ball. Fabiano finished like Ronaldo for the third goal. Top class.

I watched it but I was drunk so my reading of the game is probably crap.

I thought that Argentina were resoting to long-range shots an awful lot. It seemed like anytime they had a free, Verón wanted to go for goal.

Brazil played very well but the Argentine defence was terrible. The first two goals were scored by unmarked players with acres of space. Dátolo's goal was a cracker but you have to question the Argentine team if Brazil can stroll through them and score two minutes later.

Didnt see it........but a bit strange that Fabiano scored.........cause he was purely awful in a few of the recent games I have seen for his club last few weeks.......but then its international football

He has a cracking international record, 25 in 33, iirc.

He can finish. His all round game doesn't set the world alight but if he keeps scoring then that is all that matters.

Diego hasn't a clue & is in danger of ruining his reputation.

I feel for him, out of his depth much in the same way as Stan was for us.

Argentina are a mess tonight again. They could well fail to qualify.

maradona should leave now

Brazil Chile game is a cracker. End to end stuff and plenty of excitement.

On the Paraguay Argentina game, Cabanas has to be the best controller of a football I've ever seen. He's a great trapper and he's got exceptional close control.
