    2022 World Cup

    Argentina work a short corner as Mexico fall asleep at the back. Fernandez picks the ball up on the edge of the box, produces a lovely step-over throwing a couple of defenders off his scent and then curls a delicious shot into the far right corner. ***** What a way to score your first...

    Goal! Argentina 2-0 Mexico Enzo Fernandez scores his first international goal to keep his country in the tournament. The scoreline flatters Argentina. This is not a great Argentina side and they won't win this tournament.

    2022 World Cup

    Lionel Messi now has as many World Cup goals as Diego Maradona (eight), with only Gabriel Batistuta (10) scoring more for Argentina at the competition. That goal also means Messi has scored in six successive appearances for Argentina, his joint-longest scoring run in international football...

    Gary Neville and Roy Keane are far from impressed by what they've seen from Argentina in that first half. Both are laying into the Argentine players over on ITV with Neville saying "is this what they are" and that "players aren't fearful of Lionel Messi anymore.". He adds: "When a player of...

    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...

    2022 World Cup

    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...

    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...
