Argentina's squad look full of quality, but I've an e/w bet on Mexico.

Thanks. So much for my attempts to get into a routine of early nights.




Thanks.


It seems a bit weird that after an hour and twenty minutes of it being unanswered, two people should respond at much the same time. Coincidence though I dare say.

I still havn't seen what was wrong with Peru's 2nd goal to be ruled out?

Forlan is definatley trying too hard in this game, as he probably will in all games. Shooting on sight from 50 yards etc.

I can't say anyone from this game has stood out so far.

[livvy145]

Peru are 3-0 up. They've played well.

[El Jefecito]

Uruguay w/o Recoba is a different team altogether.
