    Uruguay v Argentina

    Anyone staying up for this one tonight? Could be a belter, Diego's boys can't afford to sit back in case of another late goal, must-win for both sides.

    I just emptied my online account on Uruguay to win although Id imagine I'll be dissapointed if Argentina fail to qualify when the competition starts in June.

    I hadn't had the internet at home for 10 months until this week and South American footy gets no coverage here, so I haven't seen any full games from the region, any Uruguay players to keep an eye on tonight (aside from the obvious Forlan, Suarez etc)?

    Good Setanta feed on MiddleEasternScores.net http://www.iraqgoals.net/ch1.html (haha, non-liability) but it has a big 'DEMO' across the middle of the screen, don't know if it will disappear at kickoff.

    Non-English feed, seems reliable enough http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-cup-qualifiers-all-game

    If you have SopCast, superb Chinese link on the Shanghai GSports channel, TV quality and no skipping for me. That's the one I'm using.

    The 2nd link was working for me but then suddenly went. Neither of them working for me now.

    You can download SopCast in about 3 minutes, on that stream I havent had a single skip, glitch, blank screen, it's perfect. Give it a go.

    Ref doing his best to ruin this match, seems to be enjoying his moment in the limelight far too much. Good start though, Uruguay having the better of the first 10, Argentina coming right back into it now.

    I'm watching it on Betfair and the stream is perfect. I don't know if you need an account or not though.

    I'd be shocked if Argentina do anything but lose.

    Peru are bottom of the table and Argentina were fortunate to get a late winner in injury time, at home.

    They were also thrashed by Bolivia I think and soundly beaten by Brazil.

    I have a feeling Maradona is the Stan of Argentina, terrific player but a manager he aint.

    Uraguay to win, put your house on it.

    HT 0-0. Strange game. Uruguay better side by miles but really missing the final ball, very few real chances. Full of tricks and flicks though, and far more adventerous, their wingers are a joy to watch.

    Argentina are...balls. I cannot believe a team with all that talent is so toothless. To me they look a team with zero faith in the manager, they are lacking that bit of bite, that desire to chase the lost ball, the passion you woud expect. Not sure if Messi has had a touch, and that's not an exaggeration - I genuinely don't think he's touched the ball once, and to be honest he's playing poorly, not looking for it or finding space at all. Uruguay are defending well, but not brilliantly, yet Argentina look awful up front. Honestly, the way we played against Italy on Saturday would be more than capable of getting a result against Argentina tonight.

    That ref though - infuriating.

    Can you watch in fullscreen? I watched the Italy game on my friend's account (not sure if it was bet365) and we had it in a tiny box...

    Player gave the ref no choice but a red there...stupid thing to do, especially when yer already on a yellow...and then Argentina score from the attack after the free kick.

    Thoroughly undeserved, but Uruguay need to learn when to play the final ball.

    What an idiot Caceras is - not for the red card (I think a lot of players would have committed that foul, cynical but necessary) but for the shirt over the head routine. Grow up son.

    Really disappointed with that. Expected a lot more from both teams. Referee one of the most picky and irritating I've ever seen, I think a there were literally only 3 or 4 times a player went to ground (whether touched or not) and he didn't award a freekick, and sometimes he just gave them to the wrong team.

    All in all, not worth the wait. Shame.

    Very disappointed, lived in Uruguay for about 6 months a few years ago and had a great time. Great people. Went to the Nacional Penarol derby in the Centenario and it was a great atmosphere. Dale el bolso!

    I still believe they'll push past Costa Rica and into the mundial.
