    Argentina V Costa Rica

    The favs have been disappointing so far but I still think Argentina will win this game. There is absolutely no value in taking the match odds though. Perhaps the asian handicap market.

    I think Argntina should win but I don't think they'll cover!

    But who knows, so far so many surprises!

    I think i read somewhere that Batiusta is changing the lineup and tevez and lavazzi will be on the bench with messi playing just being Higuian and Di Maria in the midfield. Enough of this 4 or 5 striker shit... and no midfield

    Can't help but think that the Costa Ricans might be given a backhander here to let Argentina win. After all, how embarrasing would it be if the host nation go out of the competition given the opposition they've faced so far.

    I went with a punt, Messi to score first. He's due a chance to shine so why not. The game is been streamed live on paddy power.com

    IMO Argentina will play the same fvcking way!

    This is the lineup Batista daid will have

    Romero, Zabaleta, Milito, Burdiso, Zanetti, Mascherano, Gago, Agüero, Di María, Messi, e Higuaín.

    WTF is Gago doing there??

    He and Mascherano will create football for the strikers??

    I think we'll see once again Messi going down.

    Pastore again on the bench!

    The problem is that Lavolpe is Costa Rican coach! Of course the Costa Rican team has all the disadvantages, but I'm sure Lavole would like to have a decent result, especially cause Lavolpe and Batista had some problems.

    Lavolpe said that Batista doesn't have a fvcking clue and how the f\*\*k can he have Cambiasso, Mascherano y Banega on midfield and Pastore on the bench!

    Argentina will have Messi playing up front now or still hanging back as the creator? I don't understand why the coach doesn't put Messi Up front. The guy is a goal scoring sniper. Let Higuaine and whoever else they decide to play set Messi up with some strings of good passing. The guy has proven he is an elite striker, but this Argentinian coach is a dumb ass I guess. Tevez coming off the bench in the 2H might be good for the over. Tevez seems to find a way to put the ball in the back of the net when his back is against the wall. I wouldn't bet on Costa Rica U21 team with all of the things to consider tonight. First off Bolivia had two players sent off in their game against Costa Rica, so that result was a little exaggerated. Second off, Argentina has some of the best players in the world on their team playing at home in a must win game. This has a recipe for a blowout written all over it. Should end 5-0 Argentina, but will probaly end 0-1 Costa Rica somehow lol

    Anyone have a site where the lineup will be posted even a few minutes before gametime?

    I think its really important to see what midfield Argentina play.

    If you take O3 -133 , CR has to score for the over to hit , Argentina won't score 4 goals the way they play

    Argentina should play this way

    Romero
    Zabaleta Milito, Burdiso, Zanetti
    Mascherano,
    _____________Pastore
    Agüero______________________________Di María,
    Messi_____Higuaín


    Seriously this variation of the 4-2-2-2 would own.

    Costa Rica will play hard defense.... id say they are going with a tie on this one..... so ill take the +2 on CR. Even if Arg score, it may open up the defense of CR but I dont see them winning by 3 goals.

    Messi will get the hat trick if he plays forward. Guy is as clutch as they come when the coach puts him in the position he is born to play.

    Costa Rica is the value bet here. Argentina much over-rated. O.K. they're on home soil but how did that help them in their two previous group matches? they need to win this, of course, but could be heading for an early exit from the competition after this match against an improving Costa Rica.
