[QF] Belgium - Argentina

http://f2.thejournal.ie/media/2013/06/maradonabelgium-433x500.jpg

Deja vu

Hazard going to roll over Zabaleta like he usually does.Mirallas to rape Basanta.Lukkaku going to bully Fernandez and Garay.Poverty tiki taka to rule dat Argentina midfield.This is going to be beautiful  

If Belgium manage to draw this to extra time, Thibaut Courtois could win it for them on penalties ^^

Belgium are shite, Messi to win this obvz.

It'll be very interesting, If Belgium can finally start scoring properly and close down Messi, they will win.

If Messi dominates, Argentina will win.

As if Argentina aren't

Messi to stroll around the pitch for 75 minutes then turn it on when everyone is tired as usual and score the winner. I believe.  

Both teams are at their best when countering. Both teams have terrible midfielders and both teams have the same qualities which is the attacking talent.

But Argentina have superior attackers so I would say they will go through personally.

Which is why i said Messi will win

Messi will carry them on to the next round. The journey will stop there though.

BTW, is Aguero going to be fit for the game?

Messi won it vs Bosnia
Messi won it vs Iran
Messi won it vs Nigeria
Messi won it vs Switzerland

Sooner or later he's going to have an average game, and then we are f*****d.

I've been rooting against Argentina every game this WC, but the prospect of seeing this overrated bunch of Belgians in the semis of a world cup is going to give me a heart attack. Save us Messi ffs

Jokes aside, the Belgium team have such an amazing potential if they can click more often like they did in few moments against USA(and Algeria). This tournament might be too early for them but in future years, they will be right amongst the likes of Italy and Netherlands(Euros16). If only they can start producing more fullbacks.

Belgium are more talented but they don't have a Messi. Better team would punish their profligacy.

more talented?

Belgium GK > Argentina GK
Belgium Defence > Argentina Defence
Belgium Midfield = Argentina Midfield
Belgium Attack < Argentina Attack

Belgiums inexperience has already shown throughout the tournament. It wil show even more in this q/final.

2-0 Argentina, regulation time.

On paper...

Romero < Courtois
Rojo = Vertonghen*
Fernandez < Kompany
Garay = Buyten*
Masche > Fellaini
Gago = Witsel*
Messi > Hazard
Di Maria > Bruyne
Lavezzi > Mertens
Higuain > Origi

*denotes that I think the Arg side is better than the Bel side but I put as equal for argument's sake

So Belgium only really have an advantage in 2 positions. I wouldn't call them more talented by any stretch of the imagination...

I think Belgium can pull the upset here.

Mertens > Lavezzi imo

also, a used condom has looked better than Higuain so far this WC, I don't think we can count him as "better" than any single individual at the moment, even Gil.

Thibaut Courtois would be too good for that....any keeper would be enough for us since our players mostly will kick towards gallery

Romero << Courtois
Rojo << Vertonghen
Fernandez << Kompany
Garay = Buyten
Masche > Fellaini
Gago = Witsel
Messi >> Hazard
Di Maria > Bruyne
Lavezzi = Mertens
Higuain > Origi

hope wilmotts will stick with that afrohead scrub bros in the midfield. he is an incredibly poor coach luckily and if Sabella can capitalize on that, we can edge them.
zabaletta can handle hazard, no concerns there. But all the concerns lie on the left side where Basanta might get raped by mertens. not to mention federico fernandez's consistent moment of madness. origi

sternest test by a mile its gonna be. Its all upto the Messiah obviously.. Help us legend.......
Hope we will live the day to fight LvG's boys.
