Argentina v Peru

[agricola]

yeah, i saw that somewhere, thought it was a really nasty remark, i would love to see maradona become a succesful coach, it would really stick in so many peoples craw

Yes... I imagine having a drug-taking, tax-avoiding cheat becoming a success would probably piss a few people off.

optomistic

Thought that'd be the sentiments

i think it is the hand-ball that would piss people

i want think a tournament without Argentina would lack something but if they don't qualify it means Zab and Tevez will be fighting fit for the Champions League campaign

that's a good point, if a so-called 'superpower' doesn't qualify it means they weren't good enough over the campaign.

that's why i was a bit concerned about rooney apparently saying he was looking forward to portugal and cristiano ronaldo not getting through. i can easily see them scraping it and meeting us in the knockout stage again.

anyway... where's pablo aimar playing these days?

Peru have a very cool kit.

fantasy football league.

cans of red stripe.

How did Higuain miss that?

if i could figure out how the 'multi quote' function worked i'd say 'all of the above'.

but i can't so i'll say mostly the hand ball.

i was 1 year old so have to rely on the fantasy football league reconstruction

I'm a bit surprised that Zarate hasn't got his chance yet.

there are plenty of other players who have taken drugs but none of them even get a mention, rossi never gets a mention as a world cup winner despite having been banned for fixing results, which to me is far worse than taking drugs, (as bad as drug taking is) who would even care about him not paying taxes in italy or argentina? it is solely to do with that hand-ball, as we all know, no players cheat these days

at this point i feel it's right to reveal that my real name is peter shilton.

he is only 4 foot tall, you should still have got to it first

 

[TrippyLondoner]

30 mins...still 0-0....longer this goes on the more fun it gets.

 

[Deareg]

(although tinged with sadness. hopefully my peru HT/FT bet will rectify matters)

Is it only willie johnstone in 78 whose been booted out of a WC for drugs in addition to Maradona?

 

[nicksonic]

i quoted the wrong post but never mind

peru are leading an increasingly charmed life, which gives me confidence.
