4 min: Mercado skips up the right and skews a pass out of play. Hmm. This has the shambolic potential. “Rather than being France from 2010 I think Argentina are this world cup’s England from almost every tournament for the past 20 years,” David Wall says. “Too focused on a star player(s) to the detriment of any coherent team or plan (other than giving it to said star player(s)), and with the result that they stink the place out with pretty awful football. It gets to a point where you’re hoping they are eliminated so you can just enjoy the rest of the football. Hopefully Argentinians will experience that relief in a couple of hours time. Come on the super eagles.”
2 min: Both sides look nervous. Passes are going astray. There isn’t much composure yet. Armani gets an early touch after a long pass runs through to him.
