    ARGENTINA v. MEXICO (Predictions and Thoughts)

    Anyone watch the interview of the Mexican coach? He cried about analysts not giving his team a chance, and then went on to say that they will see come tomorrow. Seemed very confident, but never looked at the camera, using a hat to cover his eyes. Weird guy.

    What are everyones thoughts on this match?

    My picks:
    Argentina to advance(-500)
    Argentina ML(-222)


    I honestly don't see the Argentines getting knocked out by this young Mexican squad. They show a lot of confidence, especially from their coach, and have all the rite to, but the Argentines are simply the better team here. The Mexican team plays a very spread offense, which will hopefully open up numerous opportunities for the Argentine superstars. The Mexican attacking style will also create a handful of counters for the quick Messi to attack with. On top of this, Messi will probably be drawing double teams like he has been all World Cup, opening up Tevez, Aguero and Higuain. All this plus Argentines experience, pure talent, and heart should be enough to move them in the quarter finals.

    Argentina is gonna move on but there back line is weak and mexico will open them up at times and other teams are watching closely.

    Argentina will win but their defence is suspect especially Demichelis, they'll probably get found out against tougher opposition but i can't see Mexico winning this one.

    argentina puts on a show
    they will score 2 - 3+

    mexico can score too. I think it will be similar to the korea game, small teams who pass the ball around suit argentina because thats the way they play, but the thing is they do it better than the rest.

    argentina are shorter than even money...does that mean Mexico steals the result? Seems to be a trend in this world cup among powerhouse nations

    Yeh i really think it will be a break out game for Messi, just like the others predicted. I must saw Argentina Back line will be tested by the likes of Giovanni Dos Santos and co. but the mexicans will lack the finish and that will be there downfall this match. I say Argentina 2-0 is a more likely outcome.

    fukk Messi, he will not score...again!!!!

    Tevez is the one that should have 4 goals in 2 games.

    for real though, Messi could have netted 4 or 5 himself, but is just snake-bitten right now. amazing work he put in on their final goal vs Greece.

    My pick for this match is under 2.5 goals...I think that Mexico can't even score in this game,although defence of Argentina is bad...2:0 for Argentina is my pick...
