Just watched Argentina v Belgium. Not a great game but a great goal by Higuain. A first time touch volley on the turn hit with great skill and accuracy.
Unfortunately the rest of the game did not live up to this.
I think Argentina just about deserved to win and they seem to be playing progressively better in each round. Messi was made to appear ordinary by the close marking Belgium defence. The Argentine defence kept Belgium quiet and limited their chances on goal.
Fellaini was tireless and covered lots of ground. Unfortunately the ground he was covering was never quite in contact with the actual play.
As Michael says.....anyone can win this now.....it's difficult to call. As for Costa Rica beating Holland....er I think not.....make that hope not !!!....gulp.
