I've just worked out that Argentina could get through if they draw tonight, but it would be tough. They've not been very good. Messi has done nothing.

0-0 at half time. A draw is not enough for Argentina. They need to win. A draw or a defeat and they are out. As things stand they are out. Argentina need to score in the second half.

A bright start from Mexico but Argentina just creeping back into it as we approach half time. The last time Argentina were knocked out at the Group Stage was at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, when they beat Nigeria 1-0, drew 1-1 against Sweden and lost 1-0 against England, thanks...

Right. Housework done. It's now time to chill with a nice beer on this Saturday night and watch the mouthwatering Argentina Vs Mexico match which is about to start. A defeat for Argentina and the two-time World Cup winners are OUT. Can Messi weave his magic? 90,000 are packed into the Lusail...

That's a good point. That's one reason why Luciana lives here. She says Brazil is too violent.

This has been a World Cup that has seen Argentina lose against Saudi Arabia and Germany lose against Japan. I think the team that has most impressed me so far has been five-time winners Brazil, who beat Serbia 2-0 yesterday thanks to two goals from Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison. They look...

Looks like it was neither.

I don't know if we were better. I think we dominated the opening 15 or 20 minutes then got shit, with too many misplaced passes and the central defenders Stones and Henderson just passing it backwards and forwards between themselves at times like tennis. Kane, who is supposed to be a striker...

England 0-0 USA Had England won tonight they would have qualified for the Last 16 after Iran's 2-0 win against Wales. Instead, they drew 0-0 against a team they have never beaten in the World Cup. I remember England being in a shitty 0-0 draw with Scotland in the Group Stage of Euro 2020...

I do think Keane was right. That was never a penalty for Argentina. It looks as though the Argie dragged down the Saudi but won himself a penalty. This is from the same dirty cheating nation which produced Maradona's famous "Hand of God" goal against England in the 1986 World Cup: trying to...

At the BBC today, things got heated as they do when football is underway in this country. Graham Souness says that Argentina's penalty against Saudi Arabia - which Messi scored - should have been a penalty, whereas Roy Keane says it was never a penalty. I expected Keane to headbutt the shit...

The supervisor on our 12-8 shift at work - Robert Trojanek - is Polish (he's basically our boss even though he's not the highest rank at Ultra Finishing). Instead of keeping an eye on us - especially us dastardly order pickers - to make sure we were working and not loitering and chatting he was...
