Wow. That’s amazing football by Saudi. Credit. 

When you shoot you have a chance of scoring. 2:1 Saudi

martinez looks rocked

Argentina has fallen in a heap, but the signs were there in the first half.

Will the Argies turn on the magic or the biff?

Is it dirty to be supporting the Saudi’s?

Tsf let’s stick to the football - sic of all the crap that is totally out of our control please.

omg amazing for this cup at this stage after all the bs 

But is it though? It's just a fundamental turn and shoot. If our players actually had a crack for a change instead of trying to walk it in the goal we might see more goals. That's what makes Saudi football so confusing.

And amazing tackle from that Saudi defender.

Fair enough. Just an observation. But fair call. 

but he's tall so he's better than Ryan

The build up and also endeavour to keep possession. Then the jink. One or two good moves to set that up. 

Sure you've got to keep at it to get the ball in those areas. Our players tend to see the play as dead.

Spot on ! Re us having a bloody go instead of pussy footing around trying to get in the 6yard box or tap in.
shoot farken ! 

Stop wasting time Argentina :D

Our players would rather try a 5% pass than take a 5% shot. Shows the value of just having a ping at times.

Same with Oman and Jordan. They hit it and it embellishes how good they are. Why can't we just have a crack for a change? Mabil vs NZ was a good example. How many more misplaced Behich and Leckie crosses do we need to endure?

Diving for VAR as well. Thought that was the Saudi's job 😀

Would have been a red in an a league var decision

SBS stream is better. Did that many people smash their PC in excitement?

Kinda wish VAR could quickly mic through to ref. 'Pure simulation, yellow number 14.'

Saudis are defending so well. Not sure they can do it for another 20 minutes but it's great to watch. 

CB Saud will surely be looked at by European clubs but they're way too pampered to leave Saudi Arabia. Same with Ferras. Quality finisher and young.

hope the AFC refs are watching this and learning how to stamp out time wasting

How much do you want to throw the group open. Saudi: Yes

Messi the diving cheat.

Couple of things standing out for the Saudis:
 - capacity to work ball into the opposition third
 - physicality and willingness to harass, mess up Argentine tempo
Clearly very well prepared and well drilled to.

Argies better not score from a dive free kick 

Yep good reffing re time but that wasn’t a free on Messi then 

Evidence again and again shows if you find a couple of things not not allow a big team to play their game they tend to fall away pretty quickly. Press City or Liverpool and like Norwich did once, you've got a chance.
