Has there been all that much hype about them this time?

Their golden generation is already either retired or largely immobile. Courtois the only one left who could truly be considered world class in terms of being in the discussion as the best at his position.

Haven't seen any hype. Those days are over.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Iraq good enough value for this so far.

Lukaku never had good, quick feet even in his prime at Everton, he likes to bull past lads and thump it. He doesn't have the legs anymore for that.

Belgium won't go far.

Felt it was a pen, one player wiped out Martinez and the other got the ball after tackle.. Not sure what others make of it

Thought so too. The foul was before the other defender got the ball. Poor penalty by Messi. Ronaldo will be delighted.

Was a penalty after a few views

Good goal.

The Argies love a row.

Congratulations to Lionel.

He has scored that one so many times over the last 20 years  :D

2nd goal for Messi and Argentina
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

He just keeps delivering! Alvarez should have scored in the first place.

What a player
