Theres a WW2 history joke somewhere between Switzerland and Argentina but im too tired to think of anything funny. Switzerland without Manzambi vs Argentina with Scaloni who famously has no tactics. As someone who loves the deeper parts of the beautiful this game it is not something to necessarily look forward to. Messi is all i was really interested in, and Licha and Taglia my Ajax goats. Who would’ve thought the game went exactly as expected? At least a Messi assist so that gets all kinds of records again. Also that Embolo dive lmao, why the fuck would you do that on a yellow? What a fucking goal from Alvarez though in extra time, fucking unbelievable really. Even a third goal still from Argentina, they actually did shit for once. Messi with 10 World Cup assists now, first to reach that. Also Argentina have scored 2+ goals in 12 consecutive games. Breaking Uruguay their record of 11 between 1930 and 1954. Switzerland out but their first quarter final since 1954, i think this achievement is more than they could have ever imagined. Argentina somehow survived again, im very skeptical how they will do against England, its not looking good at all they just play so so bad. Its Messi and thats all. Man of the match Licha, hes the goat, hes the best, hes everything. 8 defcon, heatmap being everywhere, joint most dribbles completed lmao.
