Not really, I say things like they are. Argentina played very well. As a matter of fact, they played extremely well today and showed off what they are capable of. If you compare this game to their game with the Ivory Coast, it looks like its a different team. Serbia is a very good team, or at least was during the UEFA qualifying, and they got outplayed and embarrassed by Argentina.

I guess we will have to see if Argentina plays the same way against Holland to see if they are the real thing.

Congrats Argentinians (Y)

Good man. Argentina where out of this world today. I would have to disagree on your point about comparing the Argentina performance against how they played against Ivory Coast. Against Ivory Coast, Argentina never played that bad really, it was just Ivory Coast played so well. Nevertheless they raised their game today.

If you look at the strength in depth in the Argentinian squad that is pretty scary as well. Messi, Tevez and Cambiasso came off the bench today, and each player scored. Not to mention they set up a few goals between them.

I am looking forward to seeing them play against Holland as well now (Y)

Cambiasso's goal was impressive! The whole team took part on it!

Twenty six passes made that goal. Simply amazing football :blink:.

i'm so upset that i missed the argentina game. i saw the score when i woke up and couldn't believe.

netherlands v ivory coast!! we gotta match here!!

this head referee is just terrible. i missed the first ten minutes and saw him give out 3 yellows that were not worth them. just terrible officiating.

^^^ yea, drogba missed two chances. that 2v1 and the later when he should have passed it off, but it was too late, near the end of the half. he shouldn't have gotten that booking. too bad he won't be able to play next match.

Did you see many replays of players grabbing and dragging Drogba during crosses? Even the commentators said the referee forgot his whistle in the dressing room. There were at least 4 crosses in which Drogba was illegally held. FIFA clearly made a ruling this tournament that any jersey pulling inside the area is an automatic penalty.

Poor, poor performance from the ref. Holland didn't do much better either.

worst referee so far!!! some of his decisions were too lame, an some...no action at all :D

anyway 1st half was rather well played, but second one was boring. and dutchies didnt played..they just defended themselves for like 30 mins. terrible. they will never defeat argentina that way! also theyr defence was a bit weak..learning from germans they are :D

im still ****ed with the ivory coast match, terible referee. IC had a lot of chances but the finishing was not so good, slightly better compared to their match against argentina, but not enough to win. i hope to see more of ivory coast in the next WC.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
