Feel horribly for him if true. He's had a nightmare campaign, which really is unfortunate as he's worked his ass off in all of the matches. Hope he tours the US this summer with City, would love to see him play in person without needing to go to England.

He was sulking just as much as Balo.

Di Maria is one of the WC best players so far

I dont know if anyone has a gif. I have a very vivid memory of this moment for some reason. It was during a counter and he was wide open and blasted it wayyyy off target. He then proceeded to angrily point at the far corner suggesting Higuain (not sure, one of his teammates) was suppose to be making the run.

I definitely think he was sulking this WC, but then again, he was just frustrated with his performance and that's understandable.

I haven't really been impressed by argentina. other than messi and di maria and captain fantastic mascherano theyve been subpar.

Wouldn't be surprised with an upset.

Don't sleep on Switzerland who favorably matches up with Argentina. The big battle, IMO, is putting someone on Messi and working to mark him out through the middle. With nearly every other forward player for Argentina sputtering, it's worth making them beat you.

France could go wide and exploit the Swiss, while Argentina is much more triangular. Looking forward to this game. When Switzerland is on, the club is great; the problem is that it's insanely inconsistent.

I've been a bit disappointed with him, he's ran everywhere and at times he's been good but he's lost the ball a lot, made a lot of sloppy passes and made the wrong decisions when they've needed it. He's still been decent but he's made a lot if mistakes IMO

Argentina will be better with Lavezzi in place of Aguero right now. Aguero's just not been up to it.

Ottmar the Argentinians. Now that Shaqiri has re-found his scoring touch, they have a genuine chance. Also if Drmic plays as good as he did in the last match.

Messi will eventually get through. Swiss defense not watertight
