Mecca seems to be doing okay?

Martinez hairline has retreated every World Cup. It’s rather marvelling to follow.

I wasn’t sure how Messi’s current level would translate to the World Cup. I expected him to be increasingly peripheral but so far he has looked sharp, and that was a lovely goal.

As one of the best to ever play the game he has adapted, and he is still dangerous and influential.

Fair play.

I really hate Macca doing this rolling on the floor as if he got shot

TSN Panel talked about Macca glanced and have some idea where Messi was, so he let DePaul’s pass straight through him directly over to Messi. We need this football smart Macca back.

Also they talked about that Messi raking the calf of the Algerian player would warrant a red card for any other players as it is reckless.

That’s a poacher goal. @Sweeting will say (and I agree) that the keeper was at fault in palming the ball straight in front rather than to the side out of the danger zone. Easy pick up by Messi.

Disagree on the RC thing

Wish commentators would tone it down just a bit for a tap in off a shit goalie save.

Will those cameramen stop pointing their damn lenses towards Infantino FFS! You won’t get a pay raise just because you point the camera at him.

Oooof. What a goal.

Lionel Messi

I think it’s about as bad as the NY/New Jersey pitch, at least visually.

Messi Masterclass.

Unbelievable best player I’ve ever seen.

Except when Robbo sorted him out at Anfield.

Macca is doing a proper job as a #6 this evening. Where has he been for the season? But he’s also back with this season’s needless foul. :rofl:
