First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal

yeah first goal by Messi from Argentina . The goal was due to a mistake by Australia.  Due to a foul by an Australian player, Argentina got a good chance to take control of the ball near the penalty area.  And Argentina took advantage of that opportunity to score a goal through Messi . it was soo great

Australian players are after MEssi - they want to injure him so that he can leave the ground and they get a chance to. play
This is my prediction

First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal

Australia was a kind of proving to be strong to conceive a goal in the first 30 minutes of the game, but finally Argentina legend Lionel Messi has done it again.

Despite the goal Argentina needs to put more pressure to get a second goal in the 2nd half,  in order to secure the game, hence what happened to them during the Saudis match might repeat again and in this stage right now, there's no next opportunity to correct the mistake because this is knock out stage.

Most of people think this as an easy game for Argentina but Australia are also no joke. They have been one of the surprising teams in the WC so far. Although Argentina are better with the squad and all but some tactics can surely change things around if defence are not aware enough. So far WC has already surprised us so I am still not eliminating chances of Australia surprising Argentina at all.

It will be interesting to see what game plan Australia come up with in this game because they normally wouldn't win against a squad like Argentina.

Australia is not to be underestimated, they are also very dangerous when counter-attack. So far Argentina has dominated the game with ball possession, while Australia has tended to stay in its defensive area. Nothing exciting yet because neither Argentina nor Australia have managed to create any chances, but I don't think Australia will have many chances if they play like they are at the moment.

Argentina will win this fight if they continue to put pressure on Australia's defense, but so far I don't see anything interesting in this match. The first 25 minutes were a bit boring, but I hope the match will get more interesting as time goes on.

Well Argentina have found the lead with beautiful goal from Messi but Australia will sure change their tempo to find themselves and equaliser. It sure is tough but a single mistake can turn around this game and Australia will looking for those opportunities. It's time for Australia to bring in something different into their plan if they want to find an equaliser in the second half.

half time - do players take bath as well during half time - because when they come out they look so fresh
Do they eat as well. what do they do during the halftime?
just freshen up? or they eat too?

[Falconer]

Messi continues to dominate in this world cup and another good goal and its impresive how he finds the space and scores the goal. Australia was attacking decent in the first half but just couldnt score and Argentina and Messi punished them this now means that Australia has to attack even more so there will be more room for Argentina to score.

Argentina dominated the first half well, there weren't many chances but once they did, Messi immediately scored. Messi showed his quality and he really made good use of the opportunity even though 3 Australian players tried to block him.

In the second half, I think Australia should appear to be attacking rather than defending and counter-attacking because their strategy in the first half was completely unprofitable. Argentina will score more goals with the way they attack, but if Australia do better then the game will be very interesting.

Argentina must avoid set-pieces, I see Australia being dangerous here. So as much as possible Argentina should not commit fouls in the area of ​​its defense, so that will make their defense safer. In the first half Argentina played well without making any mistakes, so I think their tempo will increase in the second half.

You are right. Argentina won't be ahead by 1 goal. Argentina now need to increase the goal difference with more pressure. Because a goal can be paid at any time. But I expect Argentina to perform well in the second half and be able to score goals.

You are absolutely correct, there is no second chance to correct any mistake in this stage, I personally believe the goal from Messi wouldn't have happened if not for the foul an Australian player did which awarded Argentina the free kick that resulted to this goal, but thats football, something must happen for goals to be scored.

Argentina shouldn't relax though, Australia has indeed played a very defensive game so far, and they have indeed proven to be well coordinated and supportive to each other, Argentina must put more effort to score a second goal, if not, I see this match ending in a 1:1 draw because i know Australia will try all they can to score in the second half.

[Cookdata]

What a day to be alive and making history as Messi's marked 1000th match, and also scored his first goal in the knockout stage. That goal was quick with great assist from Otamendi, you just have to love Messi's speed in getting in between players, they fear him whenever he has the ball and approaches him with fear. The game isn't over yet, but I'm guessing we already know who will be awarded man of the match.

If Argentina eliminates Australia from the knockout stage, Argentina will have to face the Netherlands, who have yet to lose any match.

Argentine fwd Messi for the 1000 career appearance - Messi came so far. But the Mighty ARG has not let Australia play for few minutes the Australia were only saving goal
Is this Messi last world cup?

Argentina had good possession in the first half and managed to score 1 goal. But Australia is playing full defensive. As this is the knock out phase, Australia will look to make goals pay in the second half. Argentina can score more goals in that opportunity.

First goal for Argentina from Messi, that was a great goal

Messi Rocks - Aussie Shocked
For approx 35 min Aussie were defensive and were not playing to their fullest - I think Australia have to show their full strength

If Australia doesn't change the style of play in the second half, I think it will be difficult for Australia to win the game. Argentina controlled the ball more in the first half, if Australia followed Argentina's style of play, of course Argentina would have more goal opportunities. The Argentine team can play more aggressively.

In fact, there is almost no gap to score goals for the Australian squad. I think Australia should be able to counterattack quickly, that's the only way to find Emiliano Martinez's net. The front line of the Argentine team played very neatly, but in defense there were still many gaps for the Australian team to get.

[RockBell]

In the round of 16, the Netherlands had already defeated USA 3:1 it was an entertaining one, so you can see how far we've come since the game's start. M. Depay scored the game's first goal within the first ten minutes, and D. Dumfries provided an assist before scoring the game's third goal, both of which were not bad attempts to move his nation forward. After missing two penalty kicks since the World Cup began, L. Messi scored the opening goal for Argentina, and I anticipate him to make up for the one he missed previously.

Lionel Messi became the difference for Argentina in the first half after a goal scored in the 35th minute made Argentina temporarily 1-0 lead from Australia, huge pressure have solid defensive made Argentine ever difficult scoring goals and waiting until 35th minutes for Lionel Messi make best achievement in World Cup because 3 goals from 4 matches.

Still not safe yet with Argentina lead 1-0 from Australia learned from last beaten by Saudi Arabia at group stage, Argentina conceded two goals on second half and I think need focus for defensive area how securing keep clean sheet. Still left 45 minutes later for Australia make it draw and win this match or Argentina win and lead to next round.

[Ratash]

A perfect end for that first half for argentina team this goal scored by messi will put them at ease and with australia players trying to equalize am sure they will find more space on the second half and they can score more goals, i expect argentina to score another one in the second half.

[RILWAN]

If Argentina managed to win their match tonight it will be a big I e for the club as their have suffered some defeat in the world cup with the surprising opening game against Saudi Arabia, we're Argentina lost to Saudi most unpredictably but if their manage to win Senegal tonight it will increase the point in the world cup.

[coinlocket$]

Argentina is winning in 1st half with 1 goal from Messi.
1 shot in the entire 45 minutes...


But yeah until now Argentina is Messi dependent.

the defensive mode is not Okie to win the match - Australia have to shed the shield of the fear and play to the fullest otherwise the mighty Argentine will not let them have a ball for even a minute.
The australian looks tense  and they have to score a goal - bytheway what is the YEllow band MEssi hay wearing ??

Messi has great eye and he find the gaps and hit the target well.
Another very good attempt by Messi but a good goal saved by the keeper.

[Hyphen(-)]

But yeah until now Argentina is Messi dependent.

Argentina will be proud to have Messi in their team because he is the Greatest Footballer of All Time.
By all indications, Argentina will advance to the quarterfinals of this tournament because they already have the lead and are dominating the match, and I am confident Lionel Messi and his teammates will continue the work they have begun and add more goals before the match ends.

Argentina must avoid set-pieces, I see Australia being dangerous here. So as much as possible Argentina should not commit fouls in the area of ​​its defense, so that will make their defense safer. In the first half Argentina played well without making any mistakes, so I think their tempo will increase in the second half.

Yeah , so far they haven't been making much fouls but the squad do have players who commit lot of fouls in the game like Acuna, Romero who can can give some free-kick in dangerous positions. First half was well but I think Argentina should still do better. Not in terms of goal but some pressure from some positions on attack is still needed. Right now Argentina will be planning to find some more goals while Australia to find an equaliser as quickly as possible. Should be an interesting second half to watch.
