    Imagine if someone had said at, maybe, the 2002 World Cup that in 20 years' time there would be a World Cup and Argentina would have a starting midfielder who played for Brighton & Hove Albion.

    If Mexico does not make it, I think that I would like to see the Saudis finish first.

    Believable. They have been overrated for very, very long now.

    Still, all of them better than the current lot, probably.

    It's that combined with the fact Brighton had only just topped the 3rd tier in 2002, and were about to get immediately relegated back down to it.

    What I'd give for a Poland win here.

    Calling them overrated for a while is an odd time to say it after they eventually win an international trophy.

    If they give that as a penalty, you might as well stop the World Cup now and just get Ronaldo and Messi wanking each other off for the next fortnight, as that's clearly what FIFA want.

    So lol at him missing it.

    Messi really is quite dogshit at penalties. Average players are just better at them for whatever reason.

    The only way you could give that penalty would be for violent conduct, in which case Szczesny would have been booked or worse. It's a nonsensical decision. A sign of what we can expect from the officials in the remainder of the match. These guys NEED Messi in the latter stages.

    Sir Henry Winter has given it 'Decisions must be made regardless of a player's status'. He knows.

    I think he’s statistically average at them - just above 75%, which seems to be about average according to Google.

    The Saudis are shitting the bed, but I do not see how this team will ever score. They are all just so useless up front.

    Poland really need to show some ambition. We're losing if we keep playing for 0-0.

    That really was a brilliant penalty save. Poland need to wake up a bit in the 2nd half though, asking to throw it playing the way they are.

    If they didn't try for a single minute against Mexico, there is no way that they try against Argentina.

    Regardless of the penalty farce, I want Argentina to win here. Poland offering nothing - the ultimate anti-football team.

    I bet the Poland coach will gamble here on a 1-0 defeat being good enough, when his team are one goal away from playing Australia in the last 16.

    Some of these managers just despise risk.
