Looks like no charges.

That was an incredible half but i'm feeling pessimistic about the missed chances. Like Argentina won't be missing their chances if they come in this second half. Just don't want this effort to be wasted

Hard to do that with Davies and Johnston playing and being so important. 

I think when he comes in it's for Millar (Davies moves up) or Buchanan (like for like).

Agreed. The euros apart from Germany and Spain have been mediocre.

I'd like to see Laryea. We're neglecting the right side I feel. Kone needs to tighten it up. Our passing needs to be better, I've seen great runs but the ball is either played elsewhere or into a player's feet instead of into space.

I’d take off Johnston. Richie will give us more width and overlap with Tajon.

Laryea walking through just as Argentina was huddling up in the tunnel. The greatest.

That Romania win, though.

Argentina taking their sweet ass time.

[Cadeau]

Laryea through the middle. I love it!!!

Johnston has been far more useful than Tajon at this point (outside of that one awesome cross).

Yeah - can't wait for Germany vs. Indonesia at the next world cup.

This is the closest we'll get to a baddie.

Yeah I will now buy the fact that Kone wasnt strong on ball.   should be subbed 

For me it's not "strong" it's "fast", it dies on his feet too much. Just keep it simple and know what your options are before receiving. Basic.

Just had another dumb giveaway. Someone needs to direct him on the pitch. 

Shit.

Turkey - Georgia was great! 

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Sloppy start from Kone is tough. 

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Damn. 

[narduch]

Argentina score.

Literally the only bad moment from Cornelius all game and the clown child scores.

[Soro17]

Off a throw-in…

The throw-in was like 10 touches before the goal.

At least all of the worst people in the stadium are happy.

[kacbru]

Can't afford to switch off for half a second.
