    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.

    All in on CR

    I'm kidding!

    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.

                IDK they might actually play ball instead of shooting shits off target with this lineup

                    -2 is risky but best of luck

                      -1.75 might be worth it but Argie dont look too good. CR scores tonight.

                        Wait for 20mins to go by and hit live bet. Argentina should be -1.5 or -1 by half time, I dont knwo a lot about Costa Rica but it seems Argentina has there backs against the walls now..

                          Argentina needs to win by 2 goals to qualify?

                            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!

                                    time for argentina to pull the trigger, but i wont put any money on them in the current form. I think they will win it 2-0.

                                        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

                                                        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.

                                                                Argentina must win game for them i think they will go all out. hoping for a goal fest but there has been lots of surprises!

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.
