How many times can Keown call Argentina "Argentinia"?

I thought I was hearing things. Ridiculous really and you'd have thought somebody on the team would have enlightened him.
I remember Ally McLeod always saying 'Argentine' and not 'The Argentine'.
Another awful game desperate for a goal.

Who was it on here who said that Gunnar's long throws never produce goals?

Hahaha.. . Keown just got corrected at last but it went whoosh over his head.
MK: "Can they beat Argentinia?"
GM: "They can beat Argentina yes"
:hehe:

How long is the lag over here with the broadcast. I have an app on my phone and it pops up with a score and then "live" tv catches up about 2 mins later. I was in Berlin the week just gone and the scores on the app came through a few seconds after they were on the tv.

Prolongs Argentina's misery

Re: FT: ICELAND 0 - 2 NIGERIA. Match thread
Gunnarsson was pretty anonymous imo.
If we did want to keep him, we've more leverage in the negotiations because I can't see him getting big money.

Bit unfair, thought he played really well first half when Iceland looked the better side.
All the Iceland players lost their legs and Gunnars has just come back from an injury.

I've always believed that it's a one dimenisonal tactic ,id rather quick short throw in's with no delay and loads of movement.

Re: FT: ICELAND 0 - 2 NIGERIA. Match thread
A good result for the pathtic exususe of a football team from South America, who get one more chance to show the world that they are not totally shit beyond belief. So just a win required against Nigeria if they are to redeem themselves. If they can't manage that, they will go down in history as being the worst World Cup team ever.

I think they still need Croatia to beat Iceland as well as them having to beat Nigeria. Not beyond possibility.

I am really disappointed as I think Argentina will scrape through in the final match.
Wanted to see them fail miserably

Re: FT: ICELAND 0 - 2 NIGERIA. Match thread
We all like to see the underdog win but in this case, there are a couple of good reasons why I personally would like to see the top teams progress.
Top players performing at the highest level rather than a team who spoil, waste time and frustrate.
With the better teams out, the better chance a team, who one might not want to do well, has a better chance of doing so.
It's Argentina all the way for me!

The goal difference is Iceland -2 Argentina -3, so the margin of victory would also come in to play. If Argentina can't get it together at the 3rd attempt, they deserve to be shot when they return home. I think they will all live though :biggrin:
